Trip to Birmingham, United Kingdom 🇬🇧

It was a trip to Birmingham, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 We started our journey in Birmingham at the Bullring & Grand Central, an iconic shopping🛍️ center that stands as a hub for both fashion and history. The stunning architecture of the Selfridges building, with its futuristic design, provided us with the perfect backdrop for photos 📸 We explored the busy streets around the area, and we also made sure to capture the magnificent Bullring, which is famous for its bronze bull statue. Early mornings ☀️ or late afternoons are ideal for photos here, as the sunlight ✨ creates a beautiful glow on the building’s rounded, metallic surface 🙌 📍Bullring & Grand Central, Birmingham B5 4BU One of the most underrated spots in the city is the Birmingham Library 📚 We took some time to admire the striking modern design of the library’s exterior, and then ventured up to the roof terrace for one of the best panoramic views of Birmingham. From here, you get an unobstructed view of the city, perfect for a wide-angle shot. I’d recommend visiting in the early evening as the sunset 🌇 casts a warm light across the skyline. If you’re a lover of architecture or simply looking to snap some stunning cityscapes, this is definitely a must-see spot 💯 📍Birmingham Library, Centenary Square, Broad Street, Birmingham B1 2ND We also explored the Custard Factory in Digbeth. This creative hub is full of vibrant murals, indie shops, and old industrial buildings that make for some unique photographs 📸 The area is bursting with character, and we were delighted by the mix of colors, textures, and hidden gems 💎 We’d recommend coming here early in the morning ☀️ or later in the day, as the light during those times adds a bit of magic to the surroundings. It’s a perfect spot for capturing the city’s contemporary culture and artistic side 🙌 📍Custard Factory, Gibb Street, Birmingham B9 4AA For a change of pace, we spent a relaxing afternoon at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens 🌺 Nestled in the heart of the city, these gardens offer a stunning array of plants 🌱 flowers, and tranquil paths. We explored the glasshouses filled with exotic plants and made sure to capture the vibrant flowers in full bloom 🌺 The gardens are especially photogenic in spring and summer, but even in autumn, the colors create a serene atmosphere perfect for photography 🙌 Lastly, we made our way to the Jewellery Quarter, a historic area brimming with character and charm. We took a walk through the narrow cobbled streets and visited some of the old-fashioned shops and workshops 😍 The area is a photographer’s dream, with its unique blend of old and new. The quaint streets, historic buildings, and intricate shopfronts make for an authentic and atmospheric photography experience 🙌 📍Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham B18 6HA Birmingham is truly a city with a lot to offer, and I would highly recommend it for anyone 🙌🙌🙌 #uktrip #vacation #travel
