Manchester packs a lot into a compact city centre, but one-way systems, match-day crowds and busy car parks can make getting around harder than it should be. With a pre-booked car you're dropped at the door and collected when you're ready.
1. John Rylands Library
Often compared to Hogwarts, this stunning neo-Gothic landmark on Deansgate is breathtaking inside and out. It houses rare manuscripts and offers a quiet escape from the city buzz.
2. Science and Industry Museum
Manchester is the world's first industrial city, and this is where that story comes to life. Explore the interactive exhibits on engineering and innovation that defined a revolution.
3. Manchester Art Gallery
A sanctuary for art lovers in the heart of the city, featuring an impressive collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and contemporary design.
4. Manchester Museum
Located on Oxford Road, this is a must-visit for families. From the towering T-Rex skeleton to the ancient Egypt galleries, it brings natural history to life.
5. Old Trafford & The Etihad
Whether you are a Red or a Blue, match days are electric but chaotic. Skip the crowded trams and traffic jams; we will drop you close to the stadium for your tour or game, ensuring a VIP start to the day.
6. AO Arena
As one of Europe's largest indoor venues, parking here after a concert can be a nightmare. Let your driver pick you up at a convenient spot nearby, skipping the car park gridlock entirely.
7. Spinningfields
The luxury heart of the city. Known as the "Canary Wharf of the North," this is the place for high-end dining and business. Arriving here in an executive Mercedes sets the perfect tone for a power lunch or evening cocktails.
8. The Northern Quarter
Manchester's creative soul. Ask your driver to drop you off here to explore the maze of independent vinyl shops, vintage boutiques, and hidden speakeasy bars.
9. Manchester Arndale
Right in the city centre, this is your go-to hub for high-street fashion and international brands, all under one roof.
10. The Trafford Centre
A shopper's paradise with spectacular architecture and high-end stores like Selfridges. Avoid the stress of the massive car parks and let your chauffeur drop you right at the Grand Hall entrance for a luxury retail experience.
Getting around Manchester
