There’s a lot to learn about Alabama’s history – from steel mills to civil rights, Birmingham has a complicated and complex past that has shaped the city it is today. 

Birmingham, once the industrial center of the Deep South of the United States, was established as a city in 1871 thanks to the discovery of limestone, coal and iron ore in the city’s soil. The mills that sprung up to accommodate the swell in productivity led to the prevalence of manufacturing opportunities in Birmingham today: A hefty population of Birmingham’s residents have either worked in the mills or had family members working the mills, which led to Birmingham’s nickname as the “Pittsburgh of the South”. 

Birmingham was the site of explosive, violent protests that took place in the city during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Known as “Bombingham” during the 1960s and 1970s, Birmingham’s streets saw unspeakable horrors as Civil Rights Demonstrators made their way through the city streets. Today, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is open to educate the masses about the conflicts responsible for shaping Birmingham’s role in 20th century in American history. 

Whether you’re visiting Birmingham for a trip through history or just stopping through on your way across America, take time to revel in one of the “last of the Southern cities” that proudly refers to itself as Alabama’s “Diverse City.”

Birmingham, AL climate

Best Time to Fly to Birmingham, AL

Peak season

Flights to Birmingham fill up particularly in the summer months, when the sun is out and Central Alabama’s weather is on its best behavior. Birmingham gets busy during the winter holidays, as well: as a high-traffic time for most destinations, Birmingham, like many other major American cities, is subject to the hike in ticket prices and accommodations rates that last from the beginning of December through January. 

Off-peak Season:

Birmingham frees up in spring and fall, after the rush of the winter holidays dies down and before the heat of summer sets in. If you were able to find a cheap flight to Birmingham for a trip during the month of April, you’re in luck: The Birmingham International Festival has been taking place since 1951 and features food, entertainment and fun activities of a particular foreign country.

The Birmingham Museum of Art is also a local favorite for its impressive collection of Asian, Native American, African, contemporary and impressionist art. 
  • Birmingham is one of the most influential American cities when it comes to the Civil Rights Movement. Learn more about the Civil Rights Movement by heading over to the 16th Street Baptist Church. The church was a rock for Birmingham’s black community and acted as a headquarters for various Civil Rights Meetings before it was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan in the 1960s. The church was rebuilt, and today visitors can pay their respects in downtown Birmingham. 
  • Looking to sample some local cuisine? The Peanut Depot on Morris Avenue features one of Birmingham’s favorite snacks. The Peanut Depot has been shelling out heaping portions of boiled, roasted, salted or Cajun-seasoned peanuts since 1907, and you can snag a whole pound of peanuts prepared to your liking.
