Birmingham

There’s plenty of history to explore in Birmingham, Alabama, from Civil War-era landmarks to the sites of civil rights milestones. The largest city in the state, Birmingham offers big-city culture with a small-town feel. It’s a place where you can see an indie flick at the Alabama Theatre, and then get a dish of sustainably-raised meat-and-three vegetables at Top of the Stairs, all in the same night.
