Nevertheless, the maps and documents provided by tourist offices will help you. You can also download mobile applications !

The quickest and most convenient way is to use the subway , with its 7 lines and 100 km of track. The 90-minute, 15-stop sightseeing bus tour, including The National Football Museum, the MediaCity UK, the Old Trafford ( Red Devils Stadium), is interesting.
