Birmingham, once a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution, is now Britain's second-largest city, revitalized and buzzing with energy. One family-friendly attraction that's a sure hit with chocolate lovers is Cadbury World, with its tastings, displays, and rides. The canals stretching out from Sherborne Wharf are a fun way to see the city, and are lined with trendy new restaurants and craft brewpubs. Visitors won't want to miss the historic Jewellery Quarter with over 100 shops, plus art galleries and antique stores. Thinktank, a kid-friendly science museum, and the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery should also make the list of things to do.
