Birmingham Historic Tour

We'll meet at the entrance to St. Martin's Church, one of the city's most iconic churches, to begin this tour of Birmingham's past.

During the tour, we'll pass by the Bull Ring shopping centre, Birmingham Cathedral, Victoria Square and Chamberlain Square, among other places of interest. You'll learn how the city became the heart of the Industrial Revolution, earning it the nickname 'the factory of the world'.

Why is the bull so important and one of the symbols of the city? What commercial role did Birmingham itself play in past centuries? We'll answer all your questions during the tour.

After a 2.5-hour tour, we'll end the route at Eleven Brindley Place, next to one of the city's canals.
