Birmingham Bricks and Bulls Self Guided Tour with App
Overview
Birmingham has more canal miles than Venice. It gave the world the electric kettle, custard powder, lawn tennis, and a sound so heavy it needed a new name. Not bad for a city most people skip on the way to somewhere else.
This self-guided audio walking tour covers fifteen stops, from a Baroque cathedral with stained glass that survived the Blitz to a mechanical bull named after Ozzy Osbourne. In between, cross Victorian squares, walk canal towpaths where Cadbury once shipped chocolate, and peer into a lane whose name nobody can quite explain.
New to Birmingham, or seeing it fresh? This Birmingham audio tour is a great place to start.
Start whenever you like. Pause for coffee, take a photo, resume when ready. Everything works offline, with a map, photos, and audio at every stop. No group, no guide, no fixed schedule. Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours across Europe, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.
