Departing from Belfast: two airports

Belfast International Airport (BFS) is the easyJet airport for this route, north-west of the city near Lough Neagh. The Airport Express bus links it with the Grand Central Station in Belfast city centre.
George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) is where the Aer Lingus flights leave from. It lies about 5km from the city centre, beside Belfast Lough. The Airport Express 600 bus runs to the Grand Central Station, and Sydenham railway station is a short walk away.
Arriving in Birmingham: from the airport to the city

The free Air-Rail Link monorail takes you from the terminal to Birmingham International station in a couple of minutes. From there, frequent trains run to Birmingham New Street in the city centre, and on to London and the rest of the West Midlands.
National Express West Midlands buses and taxis also connect the airport with the city.
Things to do in Birmingham

Bullring and Grand Central: the shopping district above New Street station, with the curved Selfridges building as its landmark
Canals and Brindleyplace: towpath walks and waterside restaurants in the heart of the city
Library of Birmingham: the striking modern library on Centenary Square, with a free roof garden
Jewellery Quarter: working jewellers, a museum of the trade and independent bars
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery: home to a major Pre-Raphaelite collection and the Staffordshire Hoard
Cadbury World: the chocolate attraction in the model village of Bournville, south of the centre

Birmingham’s yearly events are a good reason to pick your dates. Birmingham Pride fills the Gay Village around Hurst Street in late spring, and from November the Frankfurt Christmas Market takes over New Street and Victoria Square.
