There are many Birmingham sights a tourist can visit throughout the city. You turn a corner and you are bound to run into a museum, a cathedral or castle. If you get a little confused over which Birmingham sight to see, maybe this list will help:

The Museum of the Jewelry Quarter

Here you will see the tools used in making the jewelry at Smith & Pepper. You will find workers creating masterpieces of those adornments the ladies love to have. The interior is the same as it was when the manufacturers closed their doors in 1981. You will experience what it was like to make jewelry in the noisy hectic shop.

Aston Manor Road Transport Museum

In this museum visitors will find some pretty old relics that will transport them  back through time to a period when life seemed a little more simple. Wander the exhibits and relive the evolution of Midlands Transportation as far back as the 1900s. The motorized vehicle enthusiast in the group will love the old buses and commercial vehicles as well as electrical ones. Some of the exhibits are owned exclusively by the museum while others are privately owned. It is a trip worth taking.

Noccalula Falls

Noccalula Falls are legendary because of their beauty and majesty. It is said that an Indian princess threw herself from the cliffs because she had been forced to marry another and her true love had been banished from the tribe. Today much happier things happen at Noccalula Falls. Smoke on the Water is an event that kicks off the summer with a barbeque and a downright good time to be had by all. Enjoy the falls and the cool water as it flows peacefully away from the turbulent falls.

Aston Hall

Aston Hall is impressive with great pieces of furnishings, paintings and other great exhibits from the Birmingham Museum. However this is no ordinary museum or mansion. You can book special events such as weddings here at this most elegant of mansions. There are trails on the lands that will lead you through peaceful landscapes while the birds sing and go about their business. Aston Hall and Park are great little get-a-ways for the family and there is always something to do with many programs and events.
