Things to do in Birmingham

Amazing activities near Birmingham Airport:

Birmingham is a city packed with a wide range of activities and things to do, just drive straight out of our airport branch and immediately taste some of the city’s best offerings. The UK’s National Motorcycle Museum is next door, displaying some of the rarest bikes in the world! Alternatively, thrill seekers should explore the Bear Grylls Adventure Park - home to Europe's tallest high ropes course. Both of these excellent attractions are only a 5-minute drive from the airport terminal.

Birmingham offers a lot to please the whole family:

If you’re planning a family day out starting in the city, then collecting your vehicle from our city center branch could be ideal. The Thinktank Science Museum is just around the corner and offers a great experience for the whole family. After a 20-minute drive through Edgbaston you’ll arrive at a firm kids’ favorite - Cadbury World! Here you’ll get the chance to make your own chocolates, get the full Cadbury experience in a 4D cinema and explore their ‘Aztec Jungle’.

Exploring the outskirts of the city:

For Birmingham’s more tranquil side then there can be no better starting point than a visit to Warwick Castle. Just a 40-minute drive from the city center, this stunning English heritage site is packed with legendary stories and folklore, making it a genuine must-see. Past the castle, within an hour’s drive, is the Malvern Hills – an area of outstanding natural beauty. Spoiled with hilly climbs, this part of the countryside offers breath taking views (particularly when the sun sets below the picturesque valleys) and even contains stunning horse riding trails. Complete your day with some fine dining at the Cottage in the Woods restaurant, which dates back to 1919. This hidden gem provides scintillating panoramic views over the Malvern Hills.

Driving Information in Birmingham

While exploring the city of Birmingham, there are a few key details to bear in mind:

  • In Birmingham and across the UK, drivers are required to drive on the left hand side of the road. There are also strict regulations involving drinking alcohol while driving and seat belts are required at all times.
  • Recently, speed limits for some residential roads in the city were reduced from 30mph to 20mph. Watch out for signposted restrictions in residential areas particularly. National limits apply thereafter; 70mph is the national limit on Motorways and some dual carriageways, whilst 60mph applies to some A-roads.
  • The M5 and the M6 provide the main routes into the city, with the M6 offering a six-lane motorway for 27 miles. The motorway network surrounding the West Midlands is well connected; it also includes the M40, M42 and M54. This makes Birmingham a hub for both personal and freight travel. 
  • It is important to be aware that there is a toll on the M6, to the north of the city. For details on how much the toll will cost you, visit the M6 Toll website.
  • As of January 2020, the city has introduced a Clean Air Zone. This means that there will be a charge applied to drivers of older vehicles if they wish to use any roads inside the A4540 Middleway ring road (although the circular route itself isn’t included). As all Enterprise vehicles are ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliant, you’ll be exempt from any congestion charges in the city with a vehicle from us.
  • The city has outlined certain bus lanes that you may enter certain bus lanes indicated by a broken white lane, for example, when you need to turn left. However, drive in the bus lanes outside the indicated times and you may receive a fine. More details on road and parking fines can be found on the city council website.
