Manchester Weather

Manchester is not a super big city, so a good tip is to walk around there. Enjoy shopping and discover some of the best restaurants in town in the Canal Street area, Printworks or the Northern Quarter.

Among the main tourist attractions are the Museum of Science and Industry, the National Football Museum, the Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Cathedral.

But two of Manchester's biggest highlights are the city's football stadiums. Whether you're a fan of the sport or not, it's worth taking a tour of Old Traffod, Manchester United's stadium, or Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City.
