Birmingham is England's largest city after London and the centre of the region where the industrial revolution began. The canal network that once moved goods is now a walking and boating route, the Jewellery Quarter still manufactures, and the Balti Triangle produced the city's own curry. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, easyJet, SunExpress and Corendon Airlines fly direct from Turkiye to Birmingham, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 4 hours 15 minutes. The centre is walkable and trains and trams reach the surrounding districts easily.
