Nearest Station
Witton (from Birmingham New Street) - about 10 minutes' walk from Villa Park.
Take the left out of the station and when you come to a roundabout, turn left again into Witton Lane.
Aston (also from Birmingham New Street) is another option but is slightly further from the away end.
Or you could just jump in a cab from Birmingham New Street to Villa Park, which is about 15 mins away.
By bus: From Birmingham City Centre, jump on a No 7 West Midlands Travel bus to Witton.
Check train times and tickets at The Trainline. For more information, call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
There are some lovely curry houses everywhere, especially Witton Road.
The Cap and Gown (on Witton Island) is a two-minute walk from the ground and has an away fans' section. The Harriers (at the junction of Broadway and Davey Road) is found by a school and 10 minutes from Villa Park. Or else there's the Faculty and Firkin - close to the Aston University campus.
Villa Park is a classic old fashioned stadium which still impresses today. The gigantic two-tiered Holte End behind the goal was built in 1995 and holds 13,500, there's the two-tiered Doug Ellis Stand along the pitch and the more recent three-tiered Trinity Road Stand.
The older, but still impressive North Stand behind the goal has a small lower tier but two rows of executive boxes and large upper tier.
Palace fans will be seated here in the lower tier which holds 3,000 people. The view isn't great as it's quite low down near the front, while the facilities aren't bad.
Villa, Villa, Villa!
In your Brummie slums...
Birmingham, West Brom and Wolves.
