Best places to visit in Manchester,UK?

Q. Hi,

Could you all suggest the best places to see around in Manchester, UK.
Thanks a lot. I will def go to Science Museum.If anything else which is interesting do let me know. Cheers.

A. Manchester, as a city authority, lies at the heart of a conurbation of some 2.6 million, living in 10 local authority areas. This is Greater Manchester. If you look at a map, you will see the city is a strange shape. Part of what we know as the city centre is in fact part of the City of Salford, which can be accessed just metres over the river from say Deansgate, a major shopping street in town.


I can recommend the wikitravel Manchester site which is full of good insider info!


I would try to see The Museum of Science and Industry, as already mentioned and, when there, have a look around the Spinningfields district, to the side of The Opera House and down to the river, where you can also see the People's History Museum. In Spinningfields, by the Opera House,on the grass, you can hire a deckchair and watch sports/films/the Royal Wedding on 29/04, on the outdoor screen. To the other side of MSI, have a look at the Castlefield district; the country's first Urban Heritage Park.

The City Art Gallery and the Whitworth Gallery are both worth a look. The Whitworth is down Oxford Road. On the way you could stop in an have a look at the revamped Manchester Museum. Even further down the road you can see The Gallery of English Costume in Rusholme AND see the famous "Curry Mile" on the way.

Back in town you might want to have a quick look at "China Town" and the nearby "Gay Village" around Canal Street. There anyone is welcome to sit out and eat or drink, at one of the many places along the now tree lined, car free road next to the water.

There are great theatres in town. Even if you do not have time to catch a show at say The Opera House or Palace, have a look at the Royal Exchange Theatre, on St Ann's Square. This is a futuristic theatre in the round, built in what was the old Cotton Exchange building. It is well worth a look inside! Further down the road, by Victoria, is The MEN Arena; the largest in Europe where you can catch all the usual big names on tour.The Bridgewater Concert Hall , behind the Midland Hotel, is worth a look too. It is home to the Halle Orchestra

You could catch a tram, in the Eccles direction, and go to Salford Quays to see The Lowry Centre which is home to the works of Lowry and to three theatre spaces. Either get off at Salford Quays stop and walk along the water side, Harbour City stop, or the new MediaCityUK stop which is outside the new BBC studios complex there, which is soon to be home to five BBC depts. and to such programmes as BBC Breakfast Time and Blue Peter. Over the bridge, from The Lowry, you can visit The Imperial War Museum, North which is designed by Daniel Libeskind who designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

If you like shopping, there is a good choice in the city centre with more quirky stuff to be found in the Northern Quarter, which is good for cafes and bars too. There is a nice arts and crafts centre, hiden away near High Street, which is worth a look too. There is an outlet mall at The Lowry or you can catch the Altrincham line tram to Stretford, and get the link bus out to The Trafford Centre, which is great on a rainy day. It is one of the biggest and grandest shopping centres in Europe with lots of places to eat and drink too.

Fans of football might want to see Old Trafford which is not too far from The Imperial War Museum, North. You can see it over the water from The Lowry. City's ground is out at Eastlands.
Sure there is more so, as I said, look at the wikitravel site. Enjoy the place. I have also lived in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, but only in Manchester do the locals seem to have a real pride in the place. We live here by choice and love it warts and all!

Manchester is very central, so can also be used as a base to visit places like our nearby neighbour Liverpool, North Wales/Chester, The Peak District, The Lake District, Blackpool and The Fylde Coast, Leeds/Bradford, Bronte Country and the rest of Yorkshire etc. The airport is also the most important, outside London and the SE, and provides a good alternative gateway to the UK; especially for Northern England, North Wales and Scotland.

train ans hotels near manchester academy 3?
Q. i am going to see a band (dimmu borgir) in november and the only way i can see them is by going by train and staying the night. the information ive gathered up by looking where the academy 3 is, ive found out its on the manchester uni campus and the nerest train station is oxford road station. i was just wondering if this was correct and how far is the train station from the academy (i would like some direction please). and i was wondering if there was any nice, but cheap hotels in manchester that is near the academy? if so i would like direction for that too.
please help me, i dont know manchester verywell and i need to sort it all out before its too late

A. It's not far from Oxford Road train station at all. You could walk it in about 10 minutes or hop on one of the trillions of buses that run up and down Oxford Road, 24 hours a day.

You really can't go wrong. They're both on Oxford Road. It's literally just a case of walking out of the station, turning right and following the road you're on until you get there. All three Manchester Academies are in the same building, I believe. It's a big, beige coloured building with loads of cash points outside. At that time of night there will be tons of students milling around, people handing out flyers, etc, so quite impossible to miss.

There's a Holiday Inn Express and The Palace Hotel just next to Oxford Road station. Those would be your most convenient options. There's also an Ibis Hotel on Charles Street which runs onto Oxford Road. Any hotel in the city centre would do though. Both the train station and the venue are within easy reach on foot, by public transport or in a taxi.
