Before setting out for a new destination where you intend to relax and unwind, getting some information about the places to visit there is a smart choice, so in order to discover the main attractions of some famous place you could enlist the help of a travel companion.

For the Windows Phone users who want to seek for the information they want even when on the go, there are several utilities that can help in this respect and Birmingham Guide will surely prove an asset for anyone getting ready to visit the British metropolis.

Clean front-end, tailored mainly for practical use

This application brings forth a slightly different perspective and focuses on a map-based navigation, which has a major influence on the overall appearance. This generally means that the visually pleasing elements of graphical design are left aside as the practical aspect takes over.

Browsing the various sections of the application and navigating from one place to another on the map are carried out seamlessly, without any visible delay of other kind of glitch in both the aerial and road views.

Discover the attractions of Birmingham on the fly

The application allows you to check out the landmarks in the city area by browsing the complete list of places it has in store. To activate it you just have to tap the corresponding button from the main menu placed in the lower side of the screen.

This guide puts at your disposal a decent number of touristic attractions, 40 in all and they are starred on the map, so by zooming in and pressing once on the number assigned to each of them you can view their name.

Learn everything there is to know about each location

For every spot included inside Birmingham Guide you can read the details provided by the Wikipedia articles and there are also some neat photographs that are pretty illustrative for each of the landmarks.

Should you be interested in viewing the entire article and all the associated references, you have at your fingertips the link to the original page inside each section containing data about the selected place.
