Etihad Stadium
About
Etihad Stadium, the iconic home of Manchester City, is not only a fortress of football but also a living museum that invites fans and visitors to step inside the club’s world. The stadium tour takes you through the glass‑filled tunnel that welcomes players onto the pitch, past the press room where match‑day drama unfolds, and into the exclusive dressing rooms and behind‑the‑scenes areas that are normally off‑limits. For those eager to experience the club’s cutting‑edge technology, the "Beyond the Blue Moon" VR adventure brings the team’s story to life with interactive holograms and virtual guides. In addition, visitors can enjoy a combined tour of the Etihad and the City Football Academy, a VIP 120‑minute walk that offers behind‑the‑scenes access for those who want the extra luxury, or the themed "Walk With A Legend" tour that lets a former player share stories from the pitch. A 20‑minute pitch‑side walking tour is also available on match days, and students can join a tailored educational tour for just £13. The stadium also offers relaxed, sensory‑friendly options for families and visitors with special needs.
