"There is so much amazing street art in the city and some of the works are really Instagrammable. Some of my favourite paintings were the one of Arya Stark and, of course, Eleven from the Stranger Things. Some other street art in Manchester that I loved included these works in the photos below."

"This museum focuses chiefly on the human cost of war in the 20th and 21st centuries. From Feb 6–June 13 it will exhibit the work of and personal memorabilia of war photographer Don McCullin. Other exhibitions include images by Sean Sutton, an exploration of the life of Odette Hallowes, the heroine of World War Two, and a photographic display marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall."

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"Walk through a timeline of history from the First World War to the present day. Again, although tickets are free, they must be booked in advance. Find out more and book here."

"Out of all the sights in Manchester, John Rylands Library is my favourite. This is the one place I bring all new visitors to Manchester and I just can’t get enough of this beautiful building. It was built in memory of John Rylands by his widow (very Taj Mahal) and looks like it has been plucked straight out of a Harry Potter novel."

Take a trip to the Millennium Galleries, where you can visit The Ruskin Collection – a range of exhibits curated by Victorian writer John Ruskin, and intended to inspire Sheffield’s workers during that era. From detailed imagery of trees and landscapes to original sketches of birds and wildlife, hours can be spent gazing at this collection of unique work."

"Yvette Fielding opened this tearoom and even pours the tea herself – so if you want a dining experience with a difference then this is sure to be it. The venue itself is set next to the famous Manchester Cathedral with views that look across towards Salford. It is virtually impossible to walk past without being tempted to go inside and enjoy a slice of cake or an afternoon tea."

"If you prefer contemporary and emerging art to traditional work, Site Gallery is a must-visit. It specialises in moving image, new media, and performance, supporting its development by working with lesser-known local and international artists. As most collaborators are early work, the art might not be as polished as you’d find in other galleries."

"Using a mixture of local, regional and international collaborators, the centre aims to nurture artistic talent and to support the development of contermporary art. In 2012–13 three of the Site's…"
