hi guys, my brother is coming to the city of Mobile Alabama from Chicago to finish some work in University of South Alabama.His trip is for 4 days and he'll complete the work within 2 days, so he likes to visit Downtown Mobile, can anyone suggest him some of the things to do in Mobile, thanks.

hi shelly, how r u?

My recent trip to Mobile, AL was nice and here are some of my suggestions. Downtown Mobile is a good place to visit and he can start his tour from Fort Conde Museum which is a replica of the original fort, built in early 1700's and admission is free. Then goto Bellingrath Gardens which has a butterfly garden, rose garden, rockery, formal gardens, Oriental and American gardens, mirror lake and conservatory riverfront walk. Explore the Battle Ship Alabama and visit Dauphin Island if he extends his stay. This Dauphin Island is only 33 miles from Mobile, so ask your brother not to miss this beautiful island.
And there is no better seafood than on the Alabama coast. So while he'll be in town be sure to enjoy some Alabama wild shrimp. yummmy! Hope he will enjoy his stay in Mobile.

I think your brother can only visit some of the beaches, historic Sites, museums, zoos, Aquariums & reserves and not many within 2 days.

As roccs said the Dauphin Island is a wonderful place to visit and the beach too. Gulf Shore is more popular getaway spot of ALabama and it offers offers several opportunities to enjoy its attractive shoreline. Fort Gaines, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Historic Blakely State Park are some of the historical sites he can visit. Covey my wishes to your brother!
