Birmingham gave the world Cadbury’s chocolate, lawn tennis, and a fountain locals call the “Floozie in the Jacuzzi.” This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through the stories you won’t find on a plaque. Start at a Baroque cathedral that survived the Blitz, walk through Victorian squares where Prince Charles once compared a public library to a place where “books are incinerated.” Follow the waterways that gave Birmingham more canal miles than Venice. Peek into Back to Back houses where a family of ten shared a single room, and end at a medieval bull ring turned modern shopping mecca, overlooked by a church with 900 years of history and a Selfridges building covered in 15,000 aluminium discs. This tour is the perfect orientation for those who are first time visitors to Birmingham. It is available in 9 languages and works offline. Listen at your own pace – pause for coffee, photos, or a canal-side lunch.
