Etihad Campus is walkable from Manchester city centre, and on average it takes around 35 minutes to get to the stadium.

The walking route is well-lit and signposted to ensure it’s as easy as possible for fans to make their way to the ground.

Fans wishing to visit the popular area of Ancoats before the match for food and drink can walk to the ground in less than 30 minutes. Meanwhile, those who are shopping in Manchester Arndale can walk to the ground in less than 45 minutes.

New and Improved Citylink Walking Route

In early 2024, Manchester City and Co-op Live worked to upgrade the walking route between Holt Town tram stop and Etihad Campus.

The route has been designed to create a vibrant pre-event experience with interactive lighting installations, busking spots for performances by local musical talent, and pop-up food and drink stalls.
