My top 10 Attractions in Manchester.
Manchester, the city in the North West of England might not jump out as an obvious choice for a short break, but think again! There are numerous leisure attractions in the city.
My Top 10 Manchester attractions:
10. John Rylands Library. Superb Victorian Architecture
9. Whitworth Art Gallery
8. People's History Museum
7. Manchester Cathedral
6. Old Trafford, Manchester United's Football ground
5. Manchester Town Hall
4. Imperial War Museum North
3. Manchester Museum. Excellent Egyptology section plus T Rex skeleton.
2. Manchester Art Gallery
1. Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). See the history of the textile industry and the Industrial Revolution.
Budget Hotel:
If you are looking for excellent budget hotel to stay at, then how about the Etap Hotel at Salford Quays. Rooms start at £18 and it is located just 100m from the Metro.
Or how about checking out LateRooms.com for offers from other hotels in and around Manchester.
Getting there:
Virgin Trains run London to Manchester services starting at £11. Look up train prices.
You can also get there by National Express Coach or Megabus. Of course Manchester has its own International Airport, but flying there generates the largest carbon footprint.
