Birmingham and how to get there
Birmingham is a fascinating multicultural city, mixing reminders of its industrial heritage with modern commerce, culture and cuisine. The heart of the city combines a lively shopping area around New Street and the Bull Ring with the remarkable cultural quarter around the Symphony Hall, Library of Birmingham, world-class Museum and Art Gallery and the 18th-century Cathedral.
By rail there are direct trains and connections from all parts of the UK, or from the rest of Europe by Eurostar via London. Birmingham is also central to the British road network, with motorway routes from all parts of the country. You can even get there by canal boat!
Many airlines fly to Birmingham (BHX) from other parts of Europe, with connections from further afield via European hubs such as Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt. There are regular fast rail connections from the airport to the city centre. Another option is to fly to London (Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted) for rail and coach connections to Birmingham.
