If you are looking to take in some top sporting action while enjoying a few days away, football-related city breaks could allow you to see some of the world's biggest teams in action while soaking up breathtaking destinations. And whether you see Chelsea or one of London's other glamour sides, or would like to witness the passion of the Manchester derby firsthand, you will find that Britain - where the sport originated - offers plenty of places for you to take in the beautiful game. However, you may want to look into booking hotels in London as the ultimate destination for your football-focused short break, not least because it is the home of Wembley. As well being the ground where the international side play their home fixtures, it is also the venue of the League and FA Cup finals. Should your team have made it through to the final stages of either of these knockout competitions, why not book a hotel in the capital so you can go to Wembley and get behind your side? To get a better idea of the size and splendour of the stadium, you can go on a guided tour where you can see the Jules Rimet trophy, which England received upon winning the World Cup in 1966. Of course, Wembley is not the only football ground to be located in the capital. You may want to watch a game at the Emirates Stadium - the home of Arsenal. Holding a total of 60,000 spectators, you can be sure that a match here will provide a colourful atmosphere. Arsenal are one of the most successful sides in English football and with Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp among those to have played for the Gunners in the past, a game at the Emirates could allow you to see the next generation of football superstars do battle on the pitch. Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge are just two of the other London grounds you can visit to take in some top-class football. Once the final whistle has blown, why not stop by the club shop before seeing some of the capital's other attractions, such as Buckingham Palace and the Tate Modern? But your football-focused weekend breaks do not have to be limited to London - you may also want to take a trip to Manchester to watch a game. As well as having a rich musical heritage, the city has a strong sporting history with its two sides - Manchester City and Manchester United - bitter rivals. A trip to either Old Trafford or the City of Manchester Stadium could allow you to see some of the world's top players. Alternatively, you can combine fantastic football with a short break to some of the most glamorous cities in continental Europe. Milan is home to two famous clubs, AC Milan and Internazionale, and after watching either of these teams you can stop by some of the Italian city's other attractions such as the Museo Poldi-Pezzoli and the Milan Aquarium. Visiting the Spanish capital of Madrid, meanwhile, provides you with the chance to see Real Madrid play at the Bernabeu. One of the most successful teams in world football, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane are among the stars to have appeared for the La Liga side. Regardless of the final result, you can be confident of having a fantastic time when going on a football-related city break.
