Travel Options
Birmingham Airport has more than 200 direct and connecting flights with routes to and from key business and leisure destination. 10km from the centre of Birmingham, the airport is connected by rail, road and bus to the centre of the city. There are a number of well-known hotel chains, either on the airport site or very close by. The quickest way to the city centre is by train from Birmingham International Station, the transport hub located between the Airport and the National Exhibition Centre. The Airport’s terminal is connected by a free monorail link, enabling you to go rapidly from plane to train.
Birmingham New Street Station is at the hub of the National Rail network with fast and frequent services to London’s Euston station and many other major towns and cities. Services to London Marylebone are served by Birmingham Moor Street (next to the Bullring) and Birmingham Snow Hill (in the Colmore Business District).
Birmingham International Station sits next to Birmingham Airport and provides a ten-minute direct link to the city centre for air passengers.
Set at the heart of the UK motorway network, Birmingham is linked by the M5, M6, M40 and M42 while the A34 and A38 further add to your options and the M1 is less than 30 minutes away. The M6 Toll Road adds another choice (while also helping to keep through traffic away from the city centre at peak times).
Once you are in Birmingham, there are 25,000 city centre parking spaces within easy reach. Click here for further information about parking.
Birmingham welcomes around 20,000 coaches every year, bringing over 1 million coach travellers to the city.
In the centre of the country, and with the M6, M5 and M42 all within minutes of the city centre, the city can be easily reached within a couple of hours by coach from pretty much anywhere else in England.
Birmingham Coach Station is located in Digbeth, a 20-25 minute walk from the ICC.
