Bright Birmingham


Birmingham, a major industrial and commercial city in the UK, is renowned for its many well-preserved and distinctive historical attractions.


The city is also considered the national hub of the silversmith trade, with the Jewellery Quarter accounting for 40% of the country's jewelry production and offering a truly impressive area to explore.

 


Additionally, Birmingham is home to the Bullring, one of Europe's largest shopping centers, making it one of the UK's top three shopping destinations.


Furthermore, the city boasts the National Exhibition Centre, the largest event space in the UK, which draws in thousands of visitors annually.

Locally, Birmingham offers easy access to 90% of the UK within four hours. Additionally, it is conveniently located just one hour from Silverstone Circuit. It is an ideal destination for fans who can use the newly resumed Qatar Airways route to join the racing festivities.


Given its strong association with F1, the city is home to several globally renowned motorsport racing teams, making the reinstatement of Qatar Airways' daily flights to the "Motorsport Valley" well-timed.
