Our trip to England took us to Old Trafford in Manchester, the home ground of Manchester United Football Club. Rich in history and filled with statues of its star players, the stadium has witnessed countless glorious moments for the club and nurtured the deep emotions of its Red Devils fans. It's not just a holy ground for football, but also a dream destination for every football enthusiast.
It's very convenient to take the tram to the Etihad Stadium. I arrived an hour early and they let me in. There were two guides who accompanied me throughout the tour, although they explained things in English. Overall, it was quite good!
If you love the retro, mysterious magic school style of Harry Potter, this is a must-visit. It's a classic Victorian Gothic building with exquisite stone carvings, stained glass windows, and soaring vaulted ceilings inside. Admission is free.
Treat it as a "canteen" rather than a "tourist attraction," and the experience will be much better. Come to eat, and take a picture of the archway while you're at it—that's the right way to experience Manchester's Chinatown.
I really enjoyed the interactive football games they had and there weee many floors filled with things to do. one bonus was that when you buy a ticket you get emailed a barcode and you can come back anytime within 1 year
This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. No matter how this journey is perceived by others, it is a perfect one in my heart. Especially when I passed through the player tunnel and saw the sign of Anfield, my heart was filled with emotion. When I stood on the stadium and closed my eyes, I could imagine the bustling crowds here on match days.
The Town Hall is a great example of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture. Many areas of the building are not open to the public without a visitor pass. This is not a problem as passes are easily obtained from reception. Well worth a look.
The University is located not too far from Chinatown, making this a nice day trip for those looking to checkout a UK university and have a nice meal after.
