Manchester

In the vibrant city of Manchester, the unofficial capital of northern England, you can catch a nail-biting game featuring Manchester United at the famous Old Trafford stadium, as well as indulge in first-class shopping and sightseeing.

There’s so much to discover here: explore designer stores such as Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, and immerse yourself in cultural highlights from cutting edge theatres to colourful festivals- and then there’s the thriving gastronomic scene, which includes exquisite Michelin-starred restaurants.

Manchester is just two hours by train from London, making it a perfect addition to your holiday in England: and while you’re in Manchester, pop over to Liverpool, less than an hour away, where you can find more football, culture and northern flair.
