    The Bull Ring is excellent for shopping, broad street is good for a few drinks. Wing Wah is a fantastic Chinese Buffet in Oldbury (not far from brum) and the chinese quarters are excellent. You could go to a show? There's the Hippodrome and the Alexandra Theatre - see whats on!! Also there's 'The GLEE club' thats a good night out. There's the 'big wheel' which gives you a fab view over Birmingham!!

    Hope that helps!!
    MSE has changed me for the better!!

    I live in Birmingham and there's pleanty to do.

    Bull Ring is massive...loads of places to shop and have every shop you can think of. Theres also the high street, pavillions and palasades too. Brindley Place is, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of Birmingham. Overlooking the canal, theres loads of bars, restaurants etc, and is right next to the Symphony Hall and SeaLife Center (which is great by the way). TinTins is a great chinese restaurant, but I'd also recommend the Big Wok, which someone above recommended too. There's also the Birmingham Wheel (similar to the London eye but not as big) to try aswell.
