Birmingham is big city a bit chaotic but very well connected by public transport. The Victoria square and the library are great places to spend the afternoon. Birmingham is multicultural so you cam also find great food from all around the world

I studied in birmingham. School activities are quite nice as in sports and so on. I lived in a student area which mostly felt safe. Weather is always grey so far but hoping for better. Everything is fairly expensive
Posted: April 16, 2024Experienced: December, 2023- stayed in Selina during my stay in Birmingham which was quiet but pretty nice hostel so that was sweet, didn’t really like the area though (walking around in early evening felt pretty unsafe) - had a yummy brunch and dinner and there was a realm of different types of food to eat - very walkable place and I’m sure there would be more to do in the summer but loved the vibes and the people so overall good experience !!
Posted: December 23, 2023Go to the top floor of the library to see the view of the city, stroll around the Jewellery Quarter and perhaps visit the local goldsmith museum. In the centre of Birmingham, there is a charming shopping gallery. In this gallery, there is a cosy place called Morridge, which is great for a moment of relaxation during a day of walking around the city.

The city centre feels very safe to be around, even when it’s dark, as long as you stay in busy areas. There are lots of druggies walking around at night, and many homeless people during the day but they don’t often make you feel unsafe. The public transport feels mostly safe, but the later it is the more dodgy it feels. I often travel around Birmingham at night and have never had anything stolen from me or been touched by a stranger.

Birmingham is a safe place to travel even of your a sole traveller I'd always recommend normal caution and to remain vigilant of course but nothing of real concern There are certain areas that have higher crime rates but these areas can easily be avoided

I live in Birmingham, UK but have started solo travelling a lot in the last couple of years and would love to meet more people while I explore new cities and countries ! I love hiking too so am hoping this app (and CS which I use more) will help me find new opportunities to enjoy it ☺️
