If you're a football fan, a visit to the stadiums of Aston Villa FC, Birmingham City or West Brom is the perfect opportunity for mingling with the locals and sampling a nice pint. Birmingham is also an important commercial city, as it's where Cadbury, the famous chocolate brand, was created. It's not short on creativity, either, as it's transformed an old custard factory into a chic cultural centre. All this and more is on offer in Birmingham!
