Book Flights to Manchester

See the home of Manchester City

Some of the world’s greatest footballers take to the pitch at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City.

Tickets are in huge demand and offered to club members first, so if you want to try to catch a match at the Etihad be sure to visit the team’s website and sign up for membership.

As well as tickets to the biggest football games, you can also book a range of VIP experiences offering incredible, behind the scenes tours of the stadium.

Step into the changing rooms, wander through the team museum and experience match days from a player’s perspective as you walk through the tunnel and out onto the pitch.

Explore the majestic John Rylands Library

The magnificent neo-Gothic architecture of John Rylands Library captivates all those who venture inside. Here, you’ll find a world of incredible relics and artefacts, including medieval manuscripts and early editions of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, perfectly preserved and protected but available to view behind glass cases.

Marvel at the tiny remains of the Rylands Library Papyrus, take a moment to sit in the peaceful Crawford Room, featuring rare books and sculptures, or wander around the gallery’s stunning artworks.
