Destination & City Travel Guide

About Birmingham

Birmingham’s centre combines civic squares with canal paths and former industrial districts. The Library of Birmingham overlooks Centenary Square, and the Jewellery Quarter preserves workshops connected to the city’s metalworking past. A walk along Gas Street Basin gives a different view of the centre. Travellers from India often come for family or university links, so the city can be a base for wider Midlands visits. Birmingham Airport connects to an adjacent rail station by a short Air-Rail Link.

Read more about Birmingham

What's new in Birmingham

May 2025: Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery reopened its refurbished history galleries, restoring more space for exploring the city’s past.
October 2025: Pre-Raphaelite works and the Staffordshire Hoard returned to public display at the museum, expanding the collections available on a central visit.

Tips for travellers from India

Stay near New Street for rail connections and central shopping, or near Centenary Square for the library, galleries and canal approaches. The Jewellery Quarter is a distinct neighbourhood with its own workshop heritage, rather than another name for the retail centre. Gas Street Basin works as the outdoor link in a central day after an indoor museum visit.

At the airport, take the Air-Rail Link to Birmingham International station before boarding a train towards Birmingham New Street. Birmingham International and New Street are different stations, and an airport-area hotel does not put the city centre outside the door. The National Exhibition Centre is beside the airport district, so exhibition visitors may prefer that base. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery’s reopened collections can anchor a day around the civic squares, followed by the library and canals. A Jewellery Quarter visit is easier as a separate walk with time for the workshop streets. For a family visit elsewhere in the Midlands, check the onward station before committing to a central hotel.

Best time to visit Birmingham

May to September, about 10–22°C, for canalside walks.

Airport Information & Terminals

OPO: Porto airport. Airport access in Porto depends on arrival time, terminal, hotel location and local traffic. Confirm the airport name on the ticket, then choose between official taxi, app cab, airport bus, rail or hotel transfer based on luggage and time of day.

BHX: Birmingham airport. Birmingham airport transfer should be matched to the exact hotel, suburb or meeting area. Rail can work well for light luggage, but late arrivals, winter weather and family baggage often make a direct cab or booked transfer easier.
