Don't Go Home Without
For sports fans, no trip to Manchester is complete without a tour of Old Trafford football stadium, home to Manchester United and just six minutes' drive from the hotel. Tours last for 80 minutes and take you from the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand to the players' dressing room, then through the players' tunnel onto the pitch, giving an impression of how it must feel to play in front of 76,000 fans.
Smart Tips
The Metrolink tram system is the easiest way to get around Manchester. The Salford Quays station is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. A Day Saver ticket will help you to save money if you're making multiple journeys on public transport. Be sure to buy your ticket before you board.
