Neighborhood Guide

City Centre (New St)

Best for the Bullring, Grand Central, and transport links. Noisy but convenient.

Jewellery Quarter

Indie/Historic

Cobbled streets, 200+ listed buildings, and the best bars. 15 min walk from center.

Digbeth

Alternative

Street art, Ghetto Golf, and warehouse raves. Gritty but cool (like Shoreditch).

NEC / Airport

Events

10 miles from the city. Only stay here if you have a flight or a conference.
