Birmingham

Birmingham is Alabama state's largest city, located in north-central Alabama, and is packed with things to do, whether you're searching for family fun, a taste of history, or some outdoor inspiration.

You can't talk about Birmingham without mentioning its significance in the Civil Rights Movement. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute has a vast collection of oral histories.

The 16th Street Baptist Church and the Bethel Baptist Church, both of which were attacked during the Civil Rights Movement, are also on the Birmingham Civil Rights Trail.

Birmingham has several gems for collectors of well-preserved historical antiquities, like the 1927 Alabama Theatre, which has a Wurlitzer pipe organ. The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum contains the greatest collection of motorbikes in the United States (and probably the world), with over 500 motorcycles on exhibit.

Visit Birmingham's Railroad Park, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, or perhaps the Birmingham Zoo for some fresh air.
