Birmingham is England's second-largest city and if you go between May and September you're more likely to get blue skies than during the colder winter months, but, as any Anglophile knows, the heavens could open at any time. The city centre is undergoing a facelift and the cultural scene is taking off. Canal side developments are giving the city a trendy cafe society, the local Royal Ballet receives national acclaim, and the Ministry of Sound attracts crowds of clubbers. Broad Street is a haven for clubbers with club after club to wet the appetite of the avid partygoer. Shopping is also excellent with the new redevelopment of the Bullring, once a potentially scary eyesore but now a sleek, architecturally innovative retail complex.
