There are several convenient ways to travel to Manchester from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Here are the best options:
1. FlightThe
fastest and easiest way to travel from Germany to Manchester is by plane. Manchester has an international airport, Manchester Airport (MAN), which is well connected to many German cities.
Direct flights: Many airlines offer direct flights from German cities to Manchester. Common departure airports in Germany are:
Frankfurt am Main (FRA)
Munich (MUC)
Berlin (BER)
Hamburg (HAM)
Düsseldorf (DUS)
Airlines such as Lufthansa, easyJet, Ryanair and Eurowings offer regular direct flights. The flight time is usually around 1.5 to 2 hours.Manchester
Airport: Manchester Airport is the largest airport in northern England and offers good connections to the city centre, which is only about 14 kilometres away. You can get to the city centre by train, bus or taxi.
Transfer from the airport:
Train: There are direct trains from Manchester Airport to the city centre, which take about 15-20 minutes.
Bus: The station-to-station bus is a cheaper alternative and also goes directly to the city centre.
Taxi: Taxis are available directly in front of the airport and take about 20 minutes to reach the centre of Manchester. 2
. Train and ferry
If you prefer the adventure of a longer journey, you can also combine train and ferry:
Train to Great Britain: You could take the Eurostar from Brussels (or Paris) to London and then take the train from London to Manchester. The entire journey takes approximately 6-8 hours, depending on the connection. There are regular trains from London Euston to Manchester, which take about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Ferry: There are also ferries that run from Zeebrugge or Rotterdam to Hull or Liverpool. From there, you can continue your journey to Manchester by train.
However, this option is significantly longer and less comfortable than flying.
3. Bus
If you want to opt for a cheap mode of transport, you can also take a long-distance bus to Manchester. Providers such as FlixBus and Eurolines offer connections from various German cities. However, this journey takes significantly longer, depending on your departure point in Germany. You should expect a journey time of 12 to 18 hours.
Departure points in Germany: The main departure points are larger cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt or Cologne.
Destination: The coaches usually arrive at Manchester Coach Station, from where you can take public transport to the city centre. 4
. Car
It is also possible to drive to Manchester, but you will need to use the ferry or the Eurotunnel:
Route: You can drive to Calais in France, take the Eurotunnel (approx. 35-40 minutes) or a ferry to Dover or Folkestone, and then continue on to Manchester. The journey from Calais to Manchester takes about 5-6 hours.
Costs: The journey can be expensive if you use ferries or the Eurotunnel, and you will also have to pay for petrol and tolls.
5. Train via the Netherlands and Belgium (through Europe)
If you are travelling by train, there is also a connection through Belgium and the Netherlands. You can take the ICE or Thalys from German cities such as Cologne or Frankfurt to Brussels or Amsterdam. From there, you can take another train to London or directly to Manchester. This is a longer and more expensive option, but a convenient way to travel if you want to enjoy the scenery.
Conclusion:
The best and fastest option for most travellers is to fly to Manchester. Direct flights are usually cheap and fast, and Manchester Airport is well connected to the city centre. If you want to make the journey more comfortable and cheaper, you can also consider taking the bus or a combination of train and ferry, but the journey time will be significantly longer.
