Beschreibung

Named America's greenest city, Birmingham is surrounded by mountains and rivers, all beckoning avid hikers, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts from all over.

In 100 Things to Do in Birmingham Before You Die, you will discover the famous places and hidden treasures of a city pulsing with character, charm, and striking natural beauty. Its vibrant downtown with restored theaters, the Alabama and Lyric, brings music and movie festivals. Its quirkiest museum is dedicated to an obscure poet revered by Japanese visitors. Birmingham's music history is on display at Sacred Harp Singing, attracting people from around the world to sing ancient dirges. Whether it's the newest restaurant or bar, an innovative museum, or a picture-perfect round of golf, Birmingham native Verna Gates is ready to be your personal guide to the best The Magic City has to offer. Great food, sports, entertainment, and nature make Birmingham a great place to find 100 things to do.
