Birmingham Travel Guide

United Kingdom

Birmingham is a large city in the United Kingdom, with a population of 2,665,100. It sits inland in the West Midlands, so it is a city destination rather than a coastal base.

Most visitors arriving by air use Birmingham Airport (BHX), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so trips to Birmingham are better planned around the city and the wider inland region rather than the coast.
