The Dinner Table of the South and Ground Zero for the American Civil Rights Movement are just two of them.

Your expectations will be completely satisfied.

From day one, Birmingham was always meant to be an industrial city and it is, but it's one that has also evolved into one of the most cultured cities in the Deep South.

Top Things To Do

For whatever reason you find a visit to Birmingham in Alabama appearing on your agenda, be it a business trip or a quick weekend away, it's one city you are not going to get bored with very quickly. Time is always of the essence when you don't have much of it to spare. You can gain a few extra minutes by taking a look below at the top things to do in Birmingham rather than spend hours trolling through pages on the internet yourself and still coming up blank.

Museums

Is there any subject the museums in Birmingham don't cover? Well, yes, maybe one or two, but you'll soon realize that, compared to what they do cover, those few untouched subjects fall into the category of not worth bothering about. In Birmingham, you can choose between visiting museums dedicated to history, transport in all its different shapes and sizes, science both natural and otherwise, as well as all the arts. Three of the best museums in Birmingham are detailed below, but do check out some of the other twenty in the city as well as you won't want to miss one that specializes in your personal favorite subject.   

• Birmingham Civil Rights Institute: The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is where you should go to learn about the historic struggles that took place not only in this city, but across America during the era of the Civil Rights Movement. The BCRI is dedicated to championing both civil and human rights as well as preserving the stories of those who suffered to gain equality and equal social recognition in the past, and in the present too, in document, photographic, media, or orally-related form.
• McWane Science Museum: The McWane Science Museum is a blend of old and new. Housed in an old department store building, the museum is full of interactive science exhibits designed to spark an interest in all of the genres of science as well as technology, mathematics, and engineering. It also houses several aquariums and an IMAX Dome cinema.
• Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark: There are two good reasons for making time to visit the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark which at first glance might just look like pile on pile of rusty metalwork. The first is to learn about the role of these now – disused furnaces and the people who worked there, which you can do by picking up a leaflet at the Visitor Center and taking a self-guided tour. The second is to go snap-happy as these towering Gothic-looking furnaces make superb photographic subjects in both color and black and white.

Shopping

If you know what you want when you go out shopping in Birmingham, it'll make life a whole lot easier and definitely more temptation-free. Go out without something specific in mind and you'll quickly find yourself laden with things you had no intention of buying in the first place, but were just such good bargains, they were too hard to resist. The malls here are a veritable minefield of wonderful shopping opportunities, so don't say you haven't been warned.

• Riverchase Galleria: The Riverchase Galleria is a one-stop shopping destination you shouldn't go to unless you're a serious shopaholic. Located in the Hoover district of Birmingham, go to this mall and you'll be stepping into a world where retail rules the day. In the Riverchase Galleria, there's one and a half million square feet of retail space to explore, hotels, restaurants, and an office block too. It’s huge and contains over one hundred and fifty stores. If a ride on the carousel there doesn't make you feel as if you're in a spin, shopping there certainly will.
• The Summit Birmingham: If you're into designer names and boutiques with one-off originals, then the Summit Birmingham is the mall for you. It's almost, though not quite, as big as the Riverchase Galleria and contains almost a hundred stores with price tags that will literally make your eyes water. This mall is all about style. Fashion style, food style, the trending styles, and the not-so-in at the moment styles. If you're not a crowd follower or one who follows the in-style, you could well feel out of place here.
• Alabama Farmers Market: Get back to basics by visiting the Alabama Farmers Market. It's fresh in a produce-related sort of way. This is the market in Birmingham where you can stock up on locally grown produce bought straight from the person who has grown it. Even if you don't want any fruit or veg, it's a good place to go as it brings you back down to earth after all the luxury malls you’ve been shopping in and makes you remember that the basics in life are always the most important.

Dining

When you're in a city that's renowned as the Dinner Table of the South, what food exactly are you likely to find on the restaurant menus in Birmingham? That's a good question and the answer is a lot of Southern-inspired food, a lot of Southern-related food, some food with New Orleans French-Canadian flair, aka Cajun, and just about every other type of cuisine under the sun – fusion and non-fusion. Lucky you, you're in for a real treat.

• The Rougaroux: When you want to tickle your taste buds with original flavors of the South, The Rougaroux is the restaurant in Birmingham to go to. Get a table here – book in advance to be sure – and you'll be served Cajun gumbos like you've never tasted before. Their fried shrimp is off the scale and their surf and turf, which is shrimp and beef debris with a hot Cajun sauce, is a dinner you'll be remembering for a long time. 
• Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen: When you want to go truly Southern-style in Birmingham, and really taste what this spicy cuisine is all about, drop by the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. It's crawfish, catfish, tilapia, shrimp, snapper, and alligator all the way on their menu, plus the odd steak and fresh broiled lobster too.
• Shiki Birmingham: If you're looking for spice with a more international flavor, try Shiki Birmingham. It's a trendy eatery serving spicy Thai dishes as well as sushi which originates from Japan. Go to this restaurant in Birmingham and be prepared for an Oriental treat of Panang Curry Pot Stickers, tempura fried everything – and no, that's not an ingredient you've never heard of – and cooked as well as raw seafood.
