How Long To Spend There?
Manchester is, arguably, one of the best cities in England, there’s so much to see and do. We would therefore recommend spending atleast 2-3 days here to make the most of the city!
Getting There:
You can get into one of Manchester’s two main railway stations from most major cities in England. From London to Manchester by train it will take just over 2 hours.
Getting Around:
The best way to get around Manchester is on the extensive tram network which runs through the city centre and out to the suburbs. However, this can be fairly expensive and so there is also the option of the bus which also runs to most places in the city.
Home to Manchester United, one of England’s largest football teams – despite their recent decline. On a matchday, the stadium often hosts sell-out, albeit quiet crowds. If there’s not a match on, then book yourself onto a stadium tour, taking you pitch side and behind the scenes of the theatre of dreams.
This museum is dedicated giving a great insight and telling the story of Manchester’s greatest achievements in the fields of science, technology and industry. With galleries dedicated to Air and Space, the industrial revolution, whacky experiments and so much more, there’s something here for everyone. Perfect for a family day out!
Located in the heart of the city centre, the Printworks is a vibrant hub for everything going on in the city. A complex of bars, restaurants and cinemas, the printworks is the place to be at the weekend and captures the true heart of Manchester’s nightlife.
Like it or not, Manchester is one of the most successful footballing cities in England, so it seems appropriate that the National Football Museum is here. Here you’ll find a collection of footballing memorabilia, covering various periods of history from all over the world, such as match worn shirts, balls and trophies. You’ll even have the chance to lift the Premier League for yourself, a foreign concept for any Leeds fans. There are also plenty of interactive activities so you can compete against your mates for ultimate bragging rights.
