Go behind the scenes at the world's fastest-growing football club. On the Stadium and Club Tour, a professional guide will lead an unforgettable and comprehensive tour of the club and Etihad Stadium, capturing the essence of Manchester City. The tour will showcase the pride, passion, and heritage of the football Club. It demonstrates how every aspect of the club, both on and off the pitch, contributes to making Manchester City the club it is today. Visitors can see how it feels to be grilled by the media in the press conference room hot seat, visit the inner sanctum of the City dressing room, and walk down the tunnel imagining the roar of 55,000 supporters cheering on their heroes. Finally, take in the view from new manager Pep Guardiola's seat in the dug-out; there's the opportunity to experience everything. Outside of the football season, the stadium hosts major national and international football events as well as summer concerts. Stadium tours are available, and the club has an excellent museum packed full of football memorabilia.

The best sandy beach in the region can be found just south of this pretty fishing port on Apulia's west coast, about 80 km (50 miles) south of Brindisi, where yet another medieval castle guards a fine natural harbour overlooked by old whitewashed houses. Gallipoli has plenty of places to stay suiting all budgets and some excellent fish restaurants.

City Centre Cruises offers a relaxed way to see Manchester from the water, gliding along its historic canals past former mills, red-brick warehouses and modern waterfront developments. Trips range from simple sightseeing cruises to afternoon teas, Sunday lunches and evening buffet sailings, all taken at an easy pace that lets you soak in the city’s industrial heritage from a different angle.
