Book flights to Beijing

Busy Beijing is where history seamlessly blends with modernity. Start your journey at the heart of the metropolis, Tiananmen Square, which is home to iconic landmarks like the Forbidden City. This imperial palace has over 600 years of history to discover. Then, dive into Beijing’s contemporary side by visiting the buildings that make up its futuristic skyline, including architectural marvels like the Bird's Nest and Water Cube.

Fly to Beijing with British Airways and take in the grandeur of the Temple of Heaven and the peaceful beauty of the Summer Palace, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Tick off more of the country’s history with a visit to the unmissable Great Wall of China. Then stroll through Beijing’s traditional hutongs – these narrow alleyways offer a glimpse into local life. When you’ve worked up an appetite, try authentic Peking duck and explore the thriving street food scene. Make sure to pack a camera if you’ve planned your visit in the spring, as you’ll be treated to cherry blossom-filled parks around the city. Book your flights to Beijing now.
