Summary In the case of concerts, ballets, theatrical performances

and cinema is it in Prague and Birmingham similar. I think that Birmingham is more alive at night. In Prague

there we can find only some people going to cinemas and still less to theaters.

Birmingham residents like visiting theatrical performances such as ballet and more than the people of Prague.

Prague residents go sometimes to cinemas and to theaters often only with their school or hobby group.

Both cities offer many cultural sites, both are interesting and tourists like to return there.
