Great towns and cities

4. At the geographical heart of England is the vibrant city of Birmingham with its excellent shopping and entertainment to cater for every taste. The visitor will also find a legacy of a attractive Victorian architecture and the intricate network of canals as evidence of a rich industrial heritage.

Innovative attractions include the Museum of Science and Industry, the Air and Space Museums and the Granada Studious Tour, where visitors can explore the sets of famous television shows like Coronation Street, or sit on the Back Benches of a life size House of Commons.
