4. See the library of Birmingham

The library of Birmingham is not just a normal library. It is the largest public library in the United Kingdom and one of the most visited places in the United Kingdom.

Besides a very large collection of books, you can find here exhibitions, performances, and other activities.

Furthermore, the building itself looks spectacular, and the roof terrace offers amazing views of the city.

5. Relax in the park

The most popular park in Birmingham is Cannon Hill Park.

You can go here for a relaxing stroll, but also to engage in several activities.

You can boat, fish, play tennis, run and do much more here. Also, every Saturday morning there is a free run of 5 kilometers you can participate in.

6. Do a free walking tour

To get a great experience of the city, take a free walking tour! Discover the unique history and culture of the city with a local guide.

That way you can learn about things you may not see yourself at first. I would recommend the free walking tour by Real Birmingham.

7. See the botanical garden

For a great way to enjoy nature and see a variety of different plants go to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens!

It is open every day of the year, except for Christmas Day and Boxing day.

Moreover, you can enter it for free.

Also, this is truly one of the most fun free things to do in Birmingham in my opinion!
