Greater Manchester Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Old Trafford, Theatre of Dreams ! ❤️

Manchester United ! 💫 Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, and the home of Manchester United. With a capacity of 74,310. It is the largest club football stadium (and second-largest football stadium overall after Wembley Stadium) in the United Kingdom. Nicknamed "The Theatre of Dreams" by Bobby Charlton. Old Trafford has been United's home ground since 1910, although from 1941 to 1949 the club shared Maine Road with local rivals Manchester City as a result of Second World War bomb damage. Old Trafford underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, including the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East Stands, almost returning the stadium to its original capacity of 80,000. Future expansion is likely to involve the addition of a second tier to the South Stand, which would raise the capacity to around 88,000. The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town. Watch a match here no matter you are a Man Utd fan or not , the atmosphere here is great ! At least once in a lifetime ! ❤️

The most beautiful library in the world

Name: John Rylands Library Located in the city center (Deangate St.) When you see the title of this post and you might feel “going to a library during travels?”, but thank you very much for clicking my post to read captions. I felt the exactly the same thing when I checked the recommended places list of Manchester. However, it’s worth to go there! It was supposed to use as a church but people started to use this place as a library. So, the building looks like a church. #manchester #library #church

Harry Potter filming location!

Visited John Ryland’s library in Manchester and found out that a few scenes from Harry Potter were filmed here! The library is beautifully preserved and also hosts seasonal exhibitions, it’s worth a visit if you are in Manchester. There are free buses which you can take there as it’s in the town area with lots of dining options around:)

Inspiration for Harry Porter’s Hogwarts?

The library is beautiful. It’s free to enter but do keep your voice down. We came here during a free Manchester city tour and was explained everything about the library. If you are Harry Porter’s fan, you can come here and imagine yourself in Hogwarts. The architecture of the library is beautiful. It was built in 1890. Do come and explore those small corner of reading area. Here you’ll find some of the rarest and most beautiful books in Britain including the oldest existing piece of the New Testament and a first edition of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Overall, the Library is an impressive place well worth exploring. #manchester

Manchester has the best food out there and the best scenery, it’s a top place to go once you realise what it’s a vibe and you can actually enjoy your time

Really fantastic hotel experience

It is an unforgettable experience in Manchester, since the hotel is so near to the train station and only 3mins. Not only we can walk to the city center and near the hotel a lot of cafe and restaurant. If you would like to go to travel in Manchester, Hilton is one of the best choice, it is convenient for city travel but also you can take the train to the near city like Liverpool and Leeds, really good!

Manchester City Etihad Stadium

When in Manchester, one attraction that you need to go to is the football stadium called Manchester City Etihad stadium. Manchester city football fans would be thrilled to visit this stadium as it is the homeground for the football team and many spectacular football matches had been held there. The moment you're at the stadium's carpark, you can't help but be in awe and feel the grandeur of the stadium. You see it all decked in Manchester City football team color, which is blue and you can see banners of their football players. The stadium is huge and you get to see their trophies on display too. It's a great place to visit, be it you're a football fan or not, I'm glad I paid a visit to Etihad stadium. #wecreate

Trip from India To Denmark to Manchester Uk

Manchester Airport

I recently travelled through the newly renovated terminal 2 at Manchester airport. This terminal only has international flights and lots of the airlines use bag drop counters to avoid long queues. The airport follows the typical route of going through duty free before arriving at the gate and it was interesting to hear that all announcements were made in multiple languages. The terminal is still very new and there are enough seats/refreshment areas #urbanexplorer

Convenient in transit at Manchester airport
