Birmingham’s Theatre District is top on Fodor’s Go List

Birmingham’s Theatre District is a cut above the rest. Fodor’s, the foremost travel publication in the nation, has ranked our theatre district as one of the top places to go in 2022. Because of our impressive and historic buildings like The Carver and The Lyric, it’s no surprise that The Magic City has dazzled Fodor’s.

Birmingham’s Theatre District is on top

The Go List is out and Bham is top in the Southeast! Fodor’s chose the Magic City because of its rich history and our three major theatres.

• Alabama Theatre: home to the famous Wurlitzer organ
• The Lyric: known for the recent restoration and listed on the National Register of Historic Places
• The Carver: visit Alabama’s Jazz Hall of Fame

Following the theme of history and the early 1900s, Fodor’s highlights our jazz and classic film scene. If you’re from here, then you’re probably aware of Sun Ra, the jazz artist that influenced Solange Knowles. It only makes sense for Fodor’s to feature Birmingham’s jazz history as a reason to visit.

“This mid-sized, Southern city is home to multiple, century-old, restored theaters––showcasing everything from nationally touring bands to classic films to America’s unique Jazz heritage.”

They also chose Birmingham for our repertoire of BBQ restaurants. Well done, Bham!
