    The formalities for travelling to Birmingham

    • Entry requirements : Post-Brexit, the United Kingdom requires a valid passport when crossing its border.
    • Currency : King Charles' subjects pay for their pints in pounds sterling. Their value is slightly higher than our euros. To make the most of a good exchange rate and have a bit of cash on hand when you arrive in Britain, try out InterChange. The company has an exchange counter in each of Nice's two terminals.

    Your Nice-Birmingham direct flight

    Operated by Jet2.com, the Nice-Birmingham direct flight takes off from Terminal 1 of Nice Côte d'Azur Airport.

    When should you arrive at the airport? At least one hour before take-off. Although we will do our utmost to make boarding easier, even if you already have your Nice-Birmingham ticket, you may be required to check in hold baggage and will of course have to pass security checks and customs. These things inevitably take some time. So instead of worrying and looking at your watch every few seconds, arrive early, and should you have a bit of extra time, use it to discover our services, activities, shops... In a word: our “experience”!

    Arriving in Birmingham

    A little more than 10 kilometres separate Birmingham airport from the city centre. How do you get from one to the other? By using:

    • The bus: several companies will get you from the airport to Birmingham city centre throughout the day. The journey takes around 40 minutes.
    • The train: the airport is connected to Birmingham International station. A free monorail service will get you there in two minutes. From there, there are many trains to Birmingham New Street, the city's central station. A journey of under ten minutes.
    • A taxi: this takes between 20 and 30 minutes and costs a few dozen pounds. But it means you arrive right at the door to your accommodation.
    • A hire car: many rental companies have cars available. To find them, follow the "Car rental" signs in the terminal. And above all, don't forget: drive on the left!

What to do in
Birmingham ?

Because it doesn't have a football club (though Aston Villa aren't so bad!) or a world-famous rock band like Liverpool and Manchester, Birmingham doesn't enjoy much recognition on this side of the Channel. And yet, this city is, after London, the great economic powerhouse of the United Kingdom. What’s more, it's regularly ranked as one of the happiest places to live in Europe. It really does have everything you could want: picturesque canals, culture, great shopping, vibrant nightlife and a record number of green spaces, with almost 600 parks dotted around the city. Nothing else in Europe compares!

Birmingham
  • A city worth knowing

    See more See less

    Birmingham is a city of happy contradictions! It is a modern, dynamic city that has gone from coal-fired machines to high-tech in the space of two centuries. Its architecture bears witness to this: old brick workshops rub up against glass and steel towers. But at the same time, England's second largest city cultivates a very "natural" vibe with its 3,500 hectares of greenery and six million trees. It is home to the largest public park in Europe as well as two botanical gardens.
    Birmingham is a destination full of culture. Its museums are a testimony to ancestral traditions and know-how. Its walls showcase street art. Its library, the largest in the country, is the keeper of knowledge. Its art galleries feature contemporary art, and every summer its most famous festival takes jazz to new heights. But the home town of the famous Peaky Blinders - a fact that won’t have escaped fans of the TV series - also cultivates a playful atmosphere. You’ll get a unique shopping experience. You can indulge in street food, from exotic cuisine to flavours from your childhood enhanced by their famous chocolate. You can dance till the wee hours to live music or on the dance floor.

    • Take a stroll or cycle along the city’s canals. It has a total of 56 kilometres of them. More than Venice. A ramble full of surprises, of picturesque places to eat and shop, where you can have a rest or treat yourself. Another option is a boat tour.
    • Revamp your wardrobe, splurge on trinkets, find a diamond in the rough and make the most of the best shopping the UK has to offer. Places to check out: the Bull Ring (a giant mall in the city centre), the jewellery district, the Great Western Arcade, and the chic and designer stores of Mailbox.
    • Breathe in the fragrance of old England on your way to Victoria Square. What you’ll see: pedestrian-only streets along with historical monuments and culture at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the city's largest (free) museum.
    • Try to resist (or not!) the temptations of the stores, restaurants and pubs of Colmore Row, one of the trendiest areas in the city, where you can also visit St. Philip's Cathedral, a baroque beauty famous for its stained glass windows.
    • Head into “The Library of Birmingham”, the public library. It makes libraries cool again with its fabulous terraces which are open to the public, its Shakespeare museum, its private viewing booths dedicated to silent films, its incredible collections of children's books, greeting cards, photos and more.
    • Take in the sights in the streets of Digbeth, Birmingham's street art and party district. These include the Digbeth Graffiti Art Walk, a dedicated four-kilometre route that you can download off the internet.
    • Forget your swimsuit body for a moment and treat yourself to the most famous of English chocolates: Cadbury. The inventor of the “Finger” created Cadbury World, a chocolate factory/museum where you can uncover all the secrets of chocolate, make your own and, most importantly, eat it!
    • Go see a Premier League match. You can choose between Aston Villa, the city’s top club, or those of nearby cities: Leicester and Wolverhampton. It’s up to you to choose the match that looks best!
    • Take a trip to Birmingham's neighbour Coventry and visit, among other things, the Coventry Transport Museum, a British motor museum. Hundreds of vehicles, including the Thrust2, one of the fastest cars in history - 1,019.47 km/h - powered by a jet engine!
    • Explore Leicester, one of Birmingham's friendliest neighbours. Its major attraction: the National Space Centre, which offers an incredible journey into space with its giant planetarium, rockets, simulators and interactive activities and more.
