Beyond its football legacy, Manchester has always been ahead of its time. The music scene. Nightlife. Shopping. Recently, it has become a foodie’s haven for pop-up restaurants and street food that rivals many top cities worldwide.
The Northern Quarter is a great place to start, with superb cafés and restaurants on nearly every corner. Sports bars like Calcio and vintage shops such as Classic Football Shirts are perfect for fans extending their football-filled weekend beyond Old Trafford.
The National Football Museum is another excellent choice for anyone wanting to explore football’s rich history. For a little luxury, head to Spinningfields or King Street for an awesome mix of shops, bars, and restaurants.
