As a supporter, visiting Etihad Stadium was a fantastic experience. The stadium itself is immaculate and well-maintained, providing a great environment for watching the match. The food options were plentiful, offering a variety of choices that added to the overall enjoyment. It would have been perfect if we could eat and drink while watching the game, but even so, the experience was memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for any football fan!

Visited the cathedral with my partner for an ibiza classical evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! The lighting and sound system were amazing.The only faults I had with the place was that the toilets had no lighting around them ,but there were plenty of them though, so I wasn&#39;t queuing for long.
