Whether you're looking for an extravagant activity or something a little bit more low-key, the city of Birmingham is the perfect place to plan a date.

Often dubbed 'the Venice of the UK,' Birmingham is filled with miles of beautiful canals that are littered with pubs, bars, and restaurants. So why not set off on a romantic stroll at witching hour and top it off with a nice cocktail or meal?

If food is what you're after, then you'll be spoilt for choice. Birmingham's culinary scene is like no other in the UK and it's growing by the day. You can chose from hole-in-the-wall hidden gems like Kopitiam, which serves Malaysian street food in the Jewellery Quarter, or more well-known, up-scale establishments like Adam's and Tattu.

Plus, if you're in the mood for something spicy and flavoursome, why not choose from one of the many Indian restaurants in the Balti Triangle - the birthplace of the world-famous dish?

Though Birmingham's romantic charm isn't simply limited to canals and cuisine, there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit if you're in the mood to learn something new and provoke interesting conversations with your date. The Ikon Gallery is a must if you're a fan of contemporary art, or why not visit the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter to find out more about one of the city's most important traditions?
