Birmingham – A fusion of culture and history

The city of Birmingham, renowned for its historical role as a hub of civil rights activism, is at once a reminder of the past and a beacon of progress. Visit the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to explore our city’s significant past. Or explore Birmingham Museum of Art, housing over 27,000 artworks spanning numerous cultures and centuries.

Hoover, Mountain Brook, and Vestavia – Suburban Awesomeness

Towards the southern edge of Birmingham, you will discover the cities of Hoover, Mountain Brook, and Vestavia. Known for their higher standard of living yet community-focused suburban locales, experiencing them feels, in a sense, like coming home to peace. A key location here is the Aldridge Gardens in Hoover, an expanse of 30-acres brimming with arts, nature, and history.

Trussville, Homewood, and Irondale – Mellow Charm

If you travel over to the eastern side of Birmingham, you’ll find yourself charmed by the towns of Trussville, Homewood, and Irondale. A prime attraction here is the Irondale Café, more famously known as the ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’ café, named after the famous book and movie. And don’t forget to stroll around the great outdoors of Homewood’s favourite hangout – the Vulcan Park and Museum.
