Two cities that are said to be the Kings of football not only in Europe but also around the world. With just 50 minutes between them, both have two of the biggest global supporters clubs and magnificent football history unrivalled by any other team on the planet.

The Theatre of Dreams
At the Manchester United award-winning Museum & Tour Centre you’ll be able to experience the club’s story, unlike any other in the world and immerse yourself in a legend still being made.
You’ll experience the views from the North Stand, sit in Sir Alex Ferguson’s seat, enter the dressing room, and have the ultimate honour of emerging from the tunnel following so many famous players into the Theatre of Dreams. As a Manchester United fan or not, a visit to the Museum & Tour Centre is a day to remember!
Manchester, home to 3 million inhabitants, boasts itself as the shopping capital of the North West. Equally, it’s known as a cultural Mecca with an exciting mix of old and new architecture and a cutting edge society.
You'll Never Walk Alone
You'll walk down the players' tunnel and touch the famous sign that proclaims 'This is Anfield', see the dressing room where Rafael Benitez delivers his team talks, then take your place in the dug out before observing the whole stadium from the Kop end. The Anfield Museum hosts all five European Cups displayed with match shirts, newspapers and memorabilia from the winning games bringing back the excitement and electric atmosphere.
Liverpool is more than just a city with a strong reputation - it's a city of culture, the city of the Beatles, and an entertainment city that deserves to be explored. Liverpool became the European Capital of Culture in 2008 and has attractions such as The Beatles Story and Albert Dock.
Both Liverpool and Manchester are fresh alternatives to London and provide a good balnce between the football element for the men and perhaps the shopping, cafes and culture for the women.
