This city hosts one of the most successful football clubs in the world \u2013 no other English football club that has won more league titles than Manchester United. Count Manchester City in as well and you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re a kid in a sweet shop. Which game shall I visit? Which stadium will be next on my list? Where do I taste the infamous atmosphere of English stadiums?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But, of course, there is so much more to do in this city apart from viewing the \u2018beautiful game\u2019. For example, music enthusiasts will be satisfied \u2013 Manchester is well-known for its pop culture and its massive influence in music, with bands like Oasis, The Smiths, and Stone Roses hailing from the great northern city.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_5235\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5235\" class=\"pic-box wp-image-5235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Manchester-collage-1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Metrolink \u2013 Arndale bridge \u2013 City of Manchester \u2013 Old Trafford<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The easiest way for Brits to get to Manchester is by train (the journey takes only two hours from London!). Non-Brits can fly into Manchester Airport \u2013 there are plenty of low-cost airlines offering flights to <em>Manny. <\/em>Once arrived, the best way of getting around in Manchester is by tram, the so called <em>Metrolink<\/em>, which will bring you from the city docks \u2013 where the Industrial Revolution began \u2013 to the Etihad Campus, where you\u2019ll find the City of Manchester stadium.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/english\/england\/manchester.php\">Our English school in Manchester<\/a> is perfectly placed in the heart of the city, close to Piccadilly, the Arndale Centre and the Northern Quarter! The school is also close to two of Manchester\u2019s main train stations which make it a great base from which to explore the rest of the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018people\u2019s club\u2019 is based at a beautiful, modern stadium next to a brand-new training complex which has been built for Manchester City\u2019s Youth Academy. With a capacity of 55,000, it\u2019s the fourth-largest Premier League ground in the UK, and its masts and cabled roof structure draw in football fans from across the city.<\/p>\n<p>Though contentious, Manchester United is, undoubtedly, synonymous with the city. The club \u2013 founded 140 years ago as Newton Heath LYR FC \u2013 calls home one of the most beautiful football stadiums in the world: Old Trafford, where Sir Bobby Charlton once said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong><em>\u201cLook around you, taste the atmosphere. As a player you cannot show anything but 100% effort when playing here. <\/em><em>This audience, the ambiance, the stadium, the field \u2013 this is the theatre of dreams!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The best way to experience the stadium \u2013 aside from watching a match, of course \u2013 is to book a tour. Available throughout the year, the tour gives an insight into how the club is set up, how the stadium is maintained, and how players prepare before kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>We were lucky enough to visit both stadiums on our trip to Manchester. Though Old Trafford is one of a kind, we found the stadium facilities at the Etihad (such as the dressing rooms) to be better! Where United emphasizes its past successes, City (because they do not have any other option) looks to the future. As an ardent football fan, we\u2019d recommend that any student coming to our Manchester school books their own stadium tour(s!) to experience the beating heart of sport in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Another must-see for football fans is the National Football Museum, which explores and preserves the history of the sport and its memorabilia. Speaks for itself, right?!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What to do in Manchester<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We could talk for hours about football and football clubs in Manchester, but there is so much more to do and experience!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopping<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you&#8217;re in town you\u2019d be hard-pressed to ignore the vast array of shops and boutiques, or the immense <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterarndale.com\/\">Arndale Centre<\/a>, where you can scour the likes of TK-Maxx, JD Sports, and Hollister (among many others!). The Centre also has an 800-seat food court perfect for grabbing some sustenance during a day\u2019s retail therapy. For more luxurious brands, head to Exchange Square \u2013 here you\u2019ll find big names such as Louis Vuitton, Harvey Nichols, and Herm\u00e8s. Alternatively, if you want to find a new outfit for a <em>tenner<\/em> or less, head to Piccadilly Gardens and take a look in the giant Primark.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box wp-image-5238 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gay-Village-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>For LGBT+ students<br \/>\n<\/strong>Manchester is famed for its vibrant \u2018Gay Village\u2019, located along and around Canal Street just south of Chinatown. The area welcomes all members of the LGBT+ community, providing a safe and friendly place to enjoy a night out, have dinner, or enjoy an afternoon snack. One of the most successful gay villages in Europe, the area attracts LGBT+ tourists from around the world. Formally an industrial hub by day and a red-light district by night, the Village is now a colourful celebration of Manchester\u2019s gay, bisexual, and non-cis inhabitants and the cultures they share. Though times have changed since the Village\u2019s inception and society is more open to people from all walks of life, the historical hub of queerness in Manchester is worth a visit, if for nothing else then for its unique atmosphere!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Museums<br \/>\n<\/strong>Are you more interested in history, or perhaps you have enough outfits to get through the next thirty winters? A stroll through the city will take you past the beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitmanchester.com\/things-to-see-and-do\/the-john-rylands-library-p85841\">John Rylands Library<\/a>, the imposing town hall at Albert Square, and other historical architecture such as Victoria Station, The Free Trade Hall, and \u2013 of course \u2013 the cathedral.<\/p>\n<p>The Imperial War Museum North shows the toll taken on the city by war(s), and also has a variety of exhibitions and events. Another recommended institution is the Science and Industry Museum, where you not only learn everything about the Industrial Revolution and its origins in Manchester, but you can also walk through the oldest train station in the world \u2013 definitely one to see!<\/p>\n<p>As a great way to end your day of English culture, why not take a visit to The Lowry, a beautiful arts complex near Salford Quays (accessible by Metrolink)? The complex boasts three theaters and a gallery showcasing local, national, and international artists. Here you can see musicals, pop performances, comedians, dance, and world-class opera. From Peter Kay to the Kirov Ballet, from Morrissey to Alan Bennett, there\u2019s always something interesting taking place at the Lowry.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly the best part of Manchester\u2019s educational and cultural scene is that many of the city\u2019s museums and galleries are completely <strong>free of charge<\/strong>. So, one thing is certain: you will never be bored in Manchester!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5237\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5237\" class=\"pic-box wp-image-5237 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/John-Rylands.jpg\" alt=\"John Rylands Library\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5237\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Rylands Library<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_5234\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5234\" class=\"pic-box wp-image-5234 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Lowry-1-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Lowry<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Museums<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalfootballmuseum.com\/\">National Football Museum<\/a>, John Rylands Library, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelowry.com\/\">the Lowry<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk\/\">Museum of Science and Industry<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopping<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterarndale.com\/\">Arndale<\/a>, the Lowry, Market Place, Exchange Square<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hidden treasures<\/strong><br \/>\nPiccadilly Records, Walkden Gardens, The Peveril of the Peak<\/p>\n<p>~ Bouke &amp; Stephanie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
