Birmingham or Bristol - state your preference, and why?

Bristol would be my preference, Ive worked there before, albeit over 20 years ago but the city has a great feel to it and it’s close to Bath but also easy to get down to Devon and Dorset or Cardiff etc. It’s maybe an unfair decision though as I’ve never really spent much time in Birmingham

Bristol is closer to the coast and has easy access to some lovely towns and cities.

Birmingham has its charms, but it's mostly busy and industrial.

I've lived in both, can see pros and cons for either to be honest. I liked Bristol as it's got close connections to sea destinations as someone has already mentioned, but also a really good atmosphere I found around the place and night life. Driving is a bit of a nightmare as large parts of the housing don't have drives with narrow streets too, but well connected for trains and buses etc. I'm not really going to state too much of my bias of why Birmingham is such a great city but I've always felt like it's a 'proper city' with plenty of rural open spaces in the surrounding areas and things to do. I'm a history boffin and Birmingham is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, amongst medical sciences and trade so you can't struggle to find interesting stuff. They're both similar.
