Manchester
Boarding a plane to Manchester means going to a mythical destination of the footballing world. But the Old Trafford stadium, nicknamed "The theatre of dreams", is not the city’s only attraction. The former mining city, which has become an active economic hub, is also worth the trip to walk in the footsteps of a few famous bands (including Oasis and the Stones Roses) before visiting the Town Hall or the Imperial War Museum North.

5 Reasons to go to Manchester
1. For the Atmosphere of the Mancunian Pubs
An ideal destination for a detour with friends (and football fanatics), Manchester is full of typical pubs where you can savour both the warm atmosphere and, above all, traditional English beer. A good place to do some tasting? The Port Street Beer House, in the Northern Quarter shopping district...
2. For a Ride in the Machine Kingdom
Located at the site of the first railway station in history, the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry brings together, among others, technological and industrial remains and an impressive collection of machines: steam locomotives, fighter jets, cars with combustion engines ... A fabulous journey through time!

4. To Fill up on Football
Visit the Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium, a discovery of the Red Devils Museum, a stopover at the National Football Museum, whose collections date back from 2012 all throughout history England’s native game ...

A new place to check out in Manchester is the Piccadilly Gardens, located between the two shopping districts of Market Street and Northern Quarter. The Gardens have undergone a profound metamorphosis over the last fifteen years, with a rather convincing result: shops, restaurants, cafes and a huge green space.
