@@RenataPereiraTV Ah, I beg your pardon, my phone rang during the video and I missed that bit. Actually, having watched more of your vlogs, you should work for the English tourist board.☺️❤️
The city centre itself is almost all nice, just not the connected towns within Birmingham: Bordesley, Alum Rock, Aston, Handsworth, Small Heath. I live and work in Brum and I thought this video was really nice. Obviously they didn't show any bad bits. I suppose the city centre is nice for tourists or a day out on the town, but for somewhere to live its okay. I can't wait to move back to my home town of Stourbridge, as soon as the HS2 is built then I can sell my apartment for higher value then head back home
Is that still there????? I think my first date was in there, about 1979. Then on to see Diamondhead at Digbeth Civic Hall. Funny, I remember the McD's, Diamondhead and DCH, but I'm buggered if I can remember the girl!!
Rosida Andriyana aww thank you for the lovely compliments. I’m sure you will be delighted to know that I’m a british citizen and on top I’m a Pakistani too so high five 🖐🏽 for that. Who works and provides for his family while you people come on RUclips and make silly comments on me being an illegal immigrant. I’m hoping you’ll understand that I was born and bred in the UK and to prove that I can provide you with my British passport. I know you’ll make another compliment on me after reading this I just want to wish you all the best and have a good life. And oh yeah, this will always will remain our Birmingham, no matter how bad or good or even worse it could be but I’ll always will love it to the core. Thank you once again. Khuda Hafiz.
I'm an American and have lived in Brum for the past 18 months (expat for work)- I absolutely love it, and this video does it justice. It has a bad reputation from people who haven't been here in 20 years. Yes, there's rough sleepers and some crime (like every other major city in the world)... Brum is a treasure and is growing like mad- cranes dominate the skyline and property development investment here is the highest anywhere in the UK. HSBC, HMRC, Deutsche, HS2, and other organizations agree. Birmingham deserves to be the 2nd city it is. And it's only going to get better.
Thank you. Birmingham is my home town and I am so proud of it, yet it is usually ignored because of a certain reputation, which as you rightly pointed out is very outdated. Second biggest city, second biggest economy, largest local authority in Europe. I'm proud to call it my home town, and I am happy you enjoy it too!
@@arnelabih1845 Hey Arnela, I can't give a perspective of someone new to the city, but I can tell you some of the things I like. The public transport is good. Its not London standard, but no other city can meet that standard. I can get everywhere I need to relatively cheaply. An excellent food scene. Digbeth Dining Club is amazing, there's a load of new independents popping up all over the city, also the old stalwarts such as the balti triangle (best currys in the UK). Its a young city, lots to do and places to see. Lots of business is moving here, so there's a growing employment market. Some of the negatives include the traffic and increasing house prices (like most places these days). Overall I do think its an excellent place to live, I certainly enjoy it.
You managed to show how beautiful my home city actually is. Luckily you didn’t show much of the never ending, on going construction and road works and road closures!
I know - and I agree - when, when, when, will it ever, ever, end ?! I love Brum but I haven't been right into town for about six months because of the lunacy of it all... We should make MUCH more the canals and MUCH more of the Metro. Biggest library in Europe and it's open fewer and fewer days every week. Most acoustically perfect concert hall in the world and one of the best orchestras - but tickets are ridiculous.. Same with the ballet. A few tweeks to the way things work and are set up in Brum and the exodus of people and business from London would be a tidal wave.
Didn't show the tons of homeless on the ramp going up to grand central or outside house of Fraser and Llyods. Literally got a small community of them now
Great video. Digbeth is a cool area too to check out. The Digbeth Dining club on Friday and Saturday does great street food and it is great to walk around the street covered in amazing street art
Thank you for showing my city so beautifully! I go to all of these places regularly and you've shown them all in such a great way. There is good and bad in every city and so happy you concentrated on the good stuff. Thanks! 😍😍
So nice to see this. I don´t understand why people would make fun or talk bad about this city. How do find living there. I am actually thinking of moving there. What do you like best/least about it?
Few tourists cover Birmingham because it hasn't as much to offer. Birmingham was the centre of the industrial Revolution and ever since has been a brash working class city, so it could be a culture shock to many compared to London. A good comparison would be Detroit or Baltimore, cities which have unfortunately declined as industrialisation declined. Nevertheless it is an important region and the home of many inventions including the automobile, and iron and steel smelting. It is regenerating now with culture, cuisine, the reinvigorated canal system and tech industries , events and conferences. I spent many hours in the library studying for my undergraduate degree reading original copies of Adam Smith & Karl Marx works.
@@raymondturner1478 just because they are Muslims there? Please don't come them and avoid visiting hospitals here due to the many Muslims who are doctors here. Many people get along with people of many different backgrounds it's not that hard
You don’t see many travel vlogs of this quality on my home city of Birmingham. Like many have said in the UK 🇬🇧 it doesn’t have a great reputation. As I said in your previous vlog it isn’t where I’d advise tourists to come as there are plenty of better places to visit. Anyway fantastic vlog and some great information ℹ️👍
Consider York for your next trip! Best city in England for history, culture and facilities. There's SO many places to visit in York even though it's relatively small.
Thank you for visiting my city, if you still have time I would advise you to go to the 7th floor of the library for some amazing views from its garden, or the Shakespeare Room on the 9th.
Bear Eats World Oh wow!!! Thank you so much for letting me know, I’ll share this info when I write a blog post about Birmingham. Unfortunately I already left 😭😭😭, so for me, next time! 😉😊🙌
I live in Birmingham and it's pretty beautiful. I went to the 7th floor of the Bham Library with my mother a 4 years ago. We took lovely photos there untill my mothers phone got robbed.
I'm from Birmingham and for the last 20 years minimum have travele most of the world for work and I'm actually permanently based in Asia. Even after all this Birmingham is one of, if the best city in the world. It has it all 'but hot weather' noramally. As a tourist if you are in the uk you must visit.
Hello, we are from Worcestershire which is 30mins south of Birmingham and we would recommend you to visit the Cotswolds (Broadway, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water) if you have time. Enjoy your visit to England.
Hi Kevin! Thank you very much for the idea. I heard a lot about Cotswolds and really wish I had the time. But I've already started listing down new places for next year, as it's very likely I'll be back in June. All the best!
Nice to see a really positive review of my home town 😊. It's a shame you did not have time to make it to St Paul's Square in the Jewelery Quarter and the Custard Factory in Digbeth. There you would have got a flavour of the old Birmingham too.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to our city. As you probably saw there’s a lot of construction work going on. I can’t wait to see it all finished in a few years for the 2022 Commonwealth Games 😃
Thank you for making me look at my home town in a whole new way. You have made me feel proud and I hope u had a great safe time. Excellent video. Thank u and God bless
I´m so glad that I watched this video because the first video I watched about Birmingham was by a couple going round and the weather was grey and the areas they showed looked kind of grotty and I just got such a different impression of the city than from your video.
I haven't been to Brum since I was a kid almost 20 years ago, as all I really remembered is concrete, but this video actually makes me want to go and visit! great vlog!
Lived in Birmingham (Jewellery Quarter) for 5 years now, and the video captured nearly all places I walk past on a daily basis. Recommend anyone visiting to get into the library, it is amazing inside and got two observatories to look at the city center from above.
Great video. You made my city look beautiful. There are a lot of haters out there but we will show them. Birmingham is getting a lot of development and in a few years birmingham will be even better.
I left Birmingham in 2002, I can't believe my eyes howmuch it changed. I lived in Birmingham more than 20 years .I lived all my stay in edgbaston. I came to Birmingham in 1980, had bought a house opposite to edgbaston reservoir , in summer field crescent, I sold it before leaving . I miss all my friends there, I hope I get back there again if circumstances allow. With lots of love. PS: regards to my lecturers at the B'ham central University.
It seems like all these secondary UK cities have new life breathed into them. We enjoyed discovering and do wish you get a chance to rediscover the city
A seriously great video! It really brings out all the nice bits of Birm that I forget about when walking through all the dodgy stuff every day :') You forgot to mention! The library has the Rep Theatre attached to it, and next door to the Back to Backs is the Hippodrome theatre - I'm going to see Les Mis there tomorrow! There's also The Electric Cinema next to New Street Station (the UK's oldest cinema with sofas and a waiter service inside, they also do special screenings of old films, sometimes), the Sea Life Centre (not too far from Brindley Place), the ThinkTank Science Museum, and the Ikon Gallery and the Custard Factory for anyone interested in art (who've already visited BMAG). If you fancy taking a short bus ride out of the city centre, you can also visit the Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham that's also free to public access.
I love Birmingham, especially in december when the german x-mas market is going on. Mr. Egg deserves an honourable mention as the best hangover food in the U.K.
I think that what made Birmingham look amazing in this video was the sunny weather! From my experience, Birmingham shines when it is sunny. However, when it gets cloudy, which is frequent, it gets a bit sadder! Nevertheless, a very important and beautiful city.
@@DM-it2ch That may be in fact true! But as a counterexample, I can only see Edinburgh's true beauty when it is raining/foggy. But I guess those are my personal biases :P
@@alexandredecarvalho4357 Oxford is also beautiful in all weather! I think cities like Oxford and Edinburgh are lucky that they have beautiful architecture and warm honey coloured stone, it means they look good even on grey days. But the more grey/red toned U.K. cities get very dreary very quick.
I remember when it was Wimpey on the ramp.All the Starlings nesting on and the sound it made was to me enchanting walking along Corporation Street in the Winter and window shopping and then entering Rackhams at being hit by the smell of Perfume on the ground floor and the distant shouts from the Newspaper kiosks on a Saturday for the Sports Argos and Evening Mail with the Bus of where ever you destination lay ready to greet you.Now it is a sad symmetry of itself and you just want to leave the place as soon as your mission is completed....
@0121 My city of Perth in Western Australia is far far more gooder. Studies show the Perth is the most beautiful city in the world. Birmingham food looks ordinary and you'd think they'd use buses in a color other than red to distinguish it from London. I've never been to Birmingham but it needs to be more betterer. Do ya know wot I mean?
You should make this video one year ago I was about to move in Brum from Greece I couldn’t find anything to encourage me now all these places are my everyday routine and I freaking love them
Такое ощущение,что за время просмотра я прошелся по этим улицам,каналам,на перекор закону времени,физики,волшебство.... Никак не иначе😊🔆Спасибо большое Рената,Гордон😊🔆🔆🔆
Birmingham looks beautiful thank you for sharing such a detail video about our beautiful city. i did a similar video recently as well. you captured birmingham uk well.
Did you go inside the back to backs? There’s three houses and each house is furnished from different time periods and each one has a family of different backgrounds
Interesting video!! I have a good friend who lives near Birmingham. I have been there a few times but i Honestly did not know Birmingham had canals! Thanks for including them in your video! I will check them out the next time I visit the city. Greetings from Washington.
I am a Brummie born and bred and I would like to thank you for making such a wonderful and positive video about my city. I was so glad that you went to the Balti triangle for your Balti because if you had had it at the location where you had the fish and chips it would not have been authentic. They would have served it in one of those stainless steel bowls with handles whereas an authentic Balti is served in the cast iron Karahi in which it was cooked which was the case in the Balti you were served. One thing though. Birmingham was a beautiful city before WW2 as you alluded to but the Luftwaffe did not damage it as much as Birmingham City Council did in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Many wonderful Victorian buildings were demolished to be replaced by modern atrocities.
@Rosida Andriyana You sound like a racist so you would not be welcome here. We are multi-cultural and we get along just fine most of the time. The positives outweigh the negatives and i'm happy to live in a street with neighbours from around the globe. One of the worlds great citys is New York. I rest my case.
I learnt so much from this and I live here.. gutted you didn’t cover Jewellery Quarter though, stunning architecture and history from the old factories that would have blown you away.
I love it, Birmingham it is a beautiful city, maybe I will stay there for a year , au pair job ^^ and my host “ family “ is from there, btw I like your accent , it’s so clear, I don’t know why, but I thought u r brazilian, as me, cuz of your name, and the way you speak , thx for upload , xoxo 😘^^

Because it's so horrible we have to make fun of it

Welcome to my city. Im glad you enjoyed your stay
Great vlog. X
Lived in Birmingham (Jewellery Quarter) for 5 years now, and the video captured nearly all places I walk past on a daily basis. Recommend anyone visiting to get into the library, it is amazing inside and got two observatories to look at the city center from above.
I love my city and no one can't tell me otherwise. ♥️💯👍♥️🇬🇧🇯🇲
Very pretty, and Birmingham doesn't look bad either !!
Great video. You made my city look beautiful. There are a lot of haters out there but we will show them. Birmingham is getting a lot of development and in a few years birmingham will be even better.
I’m sure it will ❤️
Can’t wait to call your city birminstan. Cause that’s the direction it’s heading.
@@onestate3074 what?
@sarah jones well I work in the city center. I don't go to the shit areas. Every city has shit areas.
I left Birmingham in 2002, I can't believe my eyes howmuch it changed. I lived in Birmingham more than 20 years .I lived all my stay in edgbaston. I came to Birmingham in 1980, had bought a house opposite to edgbaston reservoir , in summer field crescent, I sold it before leaving .
I miss all my friends there, I hope I get back there again if circumstances allow. With lots of love. PS: regards to my lecturers at the B'ham central University.
It seems like all these secondary UK cities have new life breathed into them. We enjoyed discovering and do wish you get a chance to rediscover the city
A seriously great video! It really brings out all the nice bits of Birm that I forget about when walking through all the dodgy stuff every day :')
You forgot to mention! The library has the Rep Theatre attached to it, and next door to the Back to Backs is the Hippodrome theatre - I'm going to see Les Mis there tomorrow! There's also The Electric Cinema next to New Street Station (the UK's oldest cinema with sofas and a waiter service inside, they also do special screenings of old films, sometimes), the Sea Life Centre (not too far from Brindley Place), the ThinkTank Science Museum, and the Ikon Gallery and the Custard Factory for anyone interested in art (who've already visited BMAG). If you fancy taking a short bus ride out of the city centre, you can also visit the Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham that's also free to public access.
SpaceDaizie Wow! So many great tips here that I could even create another video! 😍😍 Thanks for sharing
@@RenataPereiraTV 💖💖💖 I'm glad I could help! It was no problem at all :D
SpaceDaizie 😍😊❤️
I love Birmingham, especially in december when the german x-mas market is going on.
Mr. Egg deserves an honourable mention as the best hangover food in the U.K.
Thank you for the suggestions
I think that what made Birmingham look amazing in this video was the sunny weather! From my experience, Birmingham shines when it is sunny. However, when it gets cloudy, which is frequent, it gets a bit sadder! Nevertheless, a very important and beautiful city.
Glad you like it, Paulo. Thanks for watching and all the best!
Every city's the same, Paulo. London in the rain is a hell-hole, in the sun it's vibrant!! (scary, but vibrant..)
@@DM-it2ch That may be in fact true! But as a counterexample, I can only see Edinburgh's true beauty when it is raining/foggy. But I guess those are my personal biases :P
@@alexandredecarvalho4357 Oxford is also beautiful in all weather! I think cities like Oxford and Edinburgh are lucky that they have beautiful architecture and warm honey coloured stone, it means they look good even on grey days. But the more grey/red toned U.K. cities get very dreary very quick.
My home my city.... love Birmingham!
Great video! Good information! A jewel of a city! 👍😎
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
I love your videos and when i home I watching your videos too
Thank you. Love that you turn to my channel for relaxation.😀👍
I'm so glad. Renata eats with right hand... 😊😊
ha ha...thank you for watching
Love your video. Thanks for showing us the beautiful city. Keep up your great work, Renata.
pathfinder54321 Many, many, many thanks! 🤗🤗🤗
What a fantasist city..never new it was so cool..
Very nice video. Birmingham sure is nice city to visit👌
Thank you ShaplaVlogs!😀
I remember when it was Wimpey on the ramp.All the Starlings nesting on and the sound it made was to me enchanting walking along Corporation Street in the Winter and window shopping and then entering Rackhams at being hit by the smell of Perfume on the ground floor and the distant shouts from the Newspaper kiosks on a Saturday for the Sports Argos and Evening Mail with the Bus of where ever you destination lay ready to greet you.Now it is a sad symmetry of itself and you just want to leave the place as soon as your mission is completed....
You’ve done a really good job of catching brum. I miss the floozie in Victoria square. Not the same with a bush
I miss the meat market in Bullring.
yes 0121 all day..love my home town.n everyone in it.
Dionne ❤️😍❤️
@0121
My city of Perth in Western Australia is far far more gooder. Studies show the Perth is the most beautiful city in the world.
Birmingham food looks ordinary and you'd think they'd use buses in a color other than red to distinguish it from London.
I've never been to Birmingham but it needs to be more betterer. Do ya know wot I mean?
Na
Love you too, 0121... love you too :)
John Gibson more gooder? 😂😂
You should make this video one year ago I was about to move in Brum from Greece I couldn’t find anything to encourage me now all these places are my everyday routine and I freaking love them
A truly excellent vlog of my home city - the best I've seen yet! There are loads more things to see though. You'll have to come back.
What an honor! I really appreciate that, thanks!
You'll have to come back too !
I take it you escaped :)
@@Isleofskye Nope! :)
I'm so sorry I didn't realise, my friend.
Condolences....:(
@@Isleofskye Funny.. but I can take it :)
I live close to the city centre and love it I'm here everyday 💖
Thank you, Renata! A beautiful city. Someday I will definitely come here.
😉😊❤ All the best to you!
Wow you made a really good video i really enjoyed watching this. So excited and entertaining... keep your good work up as usuall.
Thank you so much 🤗 I appreciate
Такое ощущение,что за время просмотра я прошелся по этим улицам,каналам,на перекор закону времени,физики,волшебство.... Никак не иначе😊🔆Спасибо большое Рената,Гордон😊🔆🔆🔆
Мой день начался с позитивного просмотра😊🔆🔆🔆
Привет Сергей! Пожалуйста! Благодаря вам! 😊❤🙌
Birmingham looks beautiful thank you for sharing such a detail video about our beautiful city. i did a similar video recently as well. you captured birmingham uk well.
Did you go inside the back to backs? There’s three houses and each house is furnished from different time periods and each one has a family of different backgrounds
No, they were all booked at that time 😭😭. I wanted to stay in one of them
@@RenataPereiraTV I used to live in one as a child not that nice
Love my city
Birmingham geeza and proud
Nice! 😊✌🙌
I live in Birmingham and I've been to most places in the city centre I love living here its full of history
Lucky for you. Take it all in!😃
Best tour, tourism channel in RUclips!
Birmingham is an amazing city. Food is awesome, people are friendly.
I had a great time in Birmingham 😍❤
Interesting video!!
I have a good friend who lives near Birmingham. I have been there a few times but i Honestly did not know Birmingham had canals! Thanks for including them in your video! I will check them out the next time I visit the city. Greetings from Washington.
Brum is not neat. at all...but some spots are indeed beautiful! Over time you simply get used to it.. But the video makes the city some justice 😉👍
I am a Brummie born and bred and I would like to thank you for making such a wonderful and positive video about my city. I was so glad that you went to the Balti triangle for your Balti because if you had had it at the location where you had the fish and chips it would not have been authentic. They would have served it in one of those stainless steel bowls with handles whereas an authentic Balti is served in the cast iron Karahi in which it was cooked which was the case in the Balti you were served. One thing though. Birmingham was a beautiful city before WW2 as you alluded to but the Luftwaffe did not damage it as much as Birmingham City Council did in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Many wonderful Victorian buildings were demolished to be replaced by modern atrocities.
What a delightful video. But may I recommend going to Aston or Sparkbrook. Really lovely places with lots of culture.

@Rosida Andriyana
You sound like a racist so you would not be welcome here. We are multi-cultural and we get along just fine most of the time. The positives outweigh the negatives and i'm happy to live in a street with neighbours from around the globe. One of the worlds great citys is New York. I rest my case.
@Clorox Bleach
Nothing to say to a bigot like you.
Superb video, Renata, thank you for showing the beauty and the proud history of Birmingham.
Hi Tony! Glad you like it! Thank you so much! 😊

An absolutely splendid vlog. Thank you so much, muit'obrigada………………..the ancient Englishman.
hano verian Thanks to you! 🤗🤗❤️🙌😊
I learnt so much from this and I live here.. gutted you didn’t cover Jewellery Quarter though, stunning architecture and history from the old factories that would have blown you away.
Yeah 😭😭😭, it was on my list, but we ended up spending too much time everywhere else 💔
Birmingham is my favourite place too visit like the video

You actually went right through Tolkien’s childhood district(hall green) on tour way to stratford... some say he got the inspiration for middle earth from playing in fields by sarehole mill and the river cole.
"Cathedral square" but if you live in Birmingham it's called Pigeon Park
loved it as a brummie i never really looked at my home city its not bad after all thanks for tour :)
Glad you enjoyed it👍😀
