The scene of one of the UK’s most influential musical movements and with a lively arts scene, a package holiday to Manchester with Qatar Airways Holidays will introduce you to a city that’s full of surprises. Manchester's compact, elegant and modern centre offers high-end shopping, as well as all the stores you might expect to find on a contemporary high street. You'll also spot the internationally-acclaimed Royal Exchange Theatre in this part of town, where you can catch award-winning shows.

You can’t come to Manchester without visiting one of the biggest football clubs in the world – Manchester United. Pay a visit to the Old Trafford football stadium for a backstage tour or book a ticket during the football season to experience all the atmosphere and excitement of a match. You’ll also find plenty of child-friendly attractions such as Legoland and the Sea Life Centre, making Manchester an ideal destination for families or couples.

  • For unique, boutique shops, head to the Northern Quarter where you’ll find independent stores and quirky cafés.
  • To leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind you take a break in the Cathedral Gardens, a few minutes north of the Arndale Shopping Centre. Beautiful in the summer, you’ll find open-air cafés where you can stop for a while and relax.
  • Soak up a bit of culture in the Manchester Art Gallery, home to works by artists such as Ford Madox Brown and Adolphe Valette.
  • If you want to add some adrenaline to your break visit the Chill Factore, the longest, real-snow, indoor ski-slope in the UK.
