Inspired by my whirlwind roadtrip to Liverpool, Lake District and Manchester in a day... here comes my review on Manchester!
Manchester history:
One of the largest cities in England whereby many major airlines flies from (sigh, too bad bout birmingham!) Manchester's roots date from A.D. 79 when the Romans settled here. It remained under Roman occupation until A.D. 410 when the empire began its storied fall. The west gate has since been reconstructed upon its original site.
Interesting Fact:
Inhabitants of Manchester are known as Mancunians.
How to get there?
By train, bus & car! There's trains from Birmingham to Manchester which costs around 19 pounds return. Buses are from www.nationalexpress.com or you can rent a car which cost about 55 pounds from friday - monday! Ask me for more information! =)
Visitor Information
The Manchester Visitor Centre is located at Lloyd Street (St Peter's Square if traveling by Metrolink tram) or you can find them at www.visitmanchester.com is opened Monday - Saturday from 10 - 5.30pm and Sundays or holidays from 10.30am to 4.30pm. You can have free pamphlets containing information on accomodations, dining, city attractions and entertainment!
What's in Manchester that's worth visiting??
1) Manchester Gay Life
Well, there's a Gay village which spreads across Canal Street. Popular bars along the street are "Queer", "Churchills" and "Cruz 101".
2) Manchester United/City Stadium!
Oh well, depends on which soccer fan you are... there's always 2 stadiums you can visit! Old Trafford is really a nice place! (With free parking too!)
3) Manchester Library
4) Manchester Town Halll
Located in Albert Sq.
5) Manchester Cathedral

6) Shopping!
There's a vast number of boutiques in Manchester actually which is quite similar to the ones you can get from Bullring or Selfridges... Anyway the shopping streets are.... King Street, St Ann's Square, Market St, Arndale Centre, Piccadilly, Oldham Street and Deansgate Street.
7) Dining
There's a cantonese restaurant named TaiWu which has 30% discount off food after midnight! So for those looking for supper... its a good place to go to!
8) Chinatown!
Soooo much bigger than Birmingham's!
Overall, Manchester is a great place to visit or just for a stop-over. There's so much more varieties in food and though there isn't much sceneries to take pictures with, its still quite a worthy place to visit! =) (Remember to go to Old Trafford!)
