During your Deep South USA holiday, Birmingham will beckon you to take your eyes off the lens to look around and reflect. The city has carefully preserved the sites of the Civil Rights Movement, a tumultuous period in its history. The past is alive here, and you are invited to carve out a moment from your busy itinerary to pause, reflect, and reconcile.
Birmingham has come a long way from its pioneer farm settlement days. It is now a buzzing, bustling, trendy town with ample fine dining and drinking options. Looking at its kitschy boutiques, boho chic thronging the streets, and gleaming skyscrapers, it is hard to believe that Birmingham is primarily a manufacturing center that was founded as an iron mine.
