St. Philip’s Cathedral
Right in the middle of Birmingham’s busy city centre, St. Philip’s Cathedral is a quiet oasis of stunning Baroque architecture. It’s one of the oldest buildings in the city that’s still serving its original purpose, which is pretty impressive!
The cathedral is famous for its gorgeous stained glass windows, created by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones – they’re truly spectacular and worth taking a moment to admire. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just need a quiet space to gather your thoughts, this place is lovely.
It’s just a short walk from the main shopping areas, so you can easily pop in for a moment of quiet contemplation amongst the hustle and bustle before heading out to continue doing your thing. Plus, visiting is completely free, which is always music to your ears when planning a budget-friendly break.
