Abdul says: “It normally depends on the season that you're visiting but just in general I would definitely come to see Town Hall. It’s brilliant architecture. Definitely the Birmingham Library - it’s so amazing, you’ve got the best scenery out there, you’ve got the hidden garden - check that out. That's just off the top of my head but there are some hidden gems so I would recommend going to Chinatown for example. They have some really cool food and there's some nice restaurants.”

Daniel says: “I’d definitely try to go to Broad Street to see all the attractions, then I think the Bull Ring is also a place I'd recommend people to go for the first time if they're here. There's loads to do in Birmingham so you'll never run out of stuff to do.”

Jordan says: “I’d go to Digbeth where they’ve got a dining centre there and it's full of graffiti and walls and artists and is a good tourist attraction. And it's bright colourful, there's a lot of things to do there. You got golf, you've got plenty of different bars with different aesthetics and cultures there and there's a lot of different music. So it's good for all around basically and where I would go to eat is probably Wingstop. Wingstop’s good!”

Lydia says: “There are quite a few beautiful historical buildings that I would like to visit if I came here for the first time. I think especially the museum, Birmingham Museum. In the past, I know it's had a lot of beautiful art and artefacts from all around the world. So I think I'd recommend that
