Birmingham invites you to come and discover the warm heart of the South. This modern and cosmopolitan city has something to offer everyone and you will need to plan your time carefully to do it all justice. Perhaps you could start by learning about the part played by the city in the Civil Rights Movement – various tours are available. Next off, explore the city’s roots in the iron industry by visiting Vulcan Park, the Sloss Furnaces National Park and Tannehill Historical State Park. However, Birmingham is by no means all about history – the city offers excellent shopping, dining, golf and nightlife as well as great activities for younger visitors including the Alabama Splash Adventure water park.
