"Set amid the remnants of a the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station, this is a true museum for all the family, with a walk-through replica sewer and exhibits illustrating Manchester's industrial and scientific history. All the museum's permanent exhibitions are free. Other highlights include a display on the life and work of the chemist John Dalton, and a rebuild of the world's first computer.Contact:mosi.org.uk"

"One of five Imperial War Museums in the UK, Manchester’s addition to the repertoire is located in Media City. The striking aluminium-clad building houses a timeline of Britain’s conflicts since the First World War, drawing on different elements of war such as the involvement of women and the impact of science and technology on how wars are fought. Alongside the permanent exhibits are plenty of films and photographs showcasing what life was like during these conflicts.Imperial War Museum | © the yes man / Flickr"

"Imperial War Museum North, one of five branches of the Imperial War Museum, centers on the impact of modern conflicts on people and society. Found in Trafford Park, the museum's location and building is worth the visit alone, with amazing modern architecture right on Salford Quays. The museum's main exhibition, which has free admission, looks the impact of war on our culture via 2,000 objects, photographs, and interactive displays."

"Learn more about the history of democracy and how every person won the right to vote in one of the city’s most interesting museums. Keep your eyes peeled for revolving exhibitions that seek to inform in exciting ways, such as Never Going Underground, which demonstrates the history of LGBT+ rights."

"Dubbed the national museum of democracy, People’s History Museum holds the largest collection of political material in Britain. The museum tells the stories of workers, voters, citizens and revolutionaries who rallied for rights and equality and made society what it is today."

"The University of Manchester contains yet MORE beautiful buildings, as well as the interesting Manchester Museum, worth a look if you need to kill a couple of hours. And best of all, like the majority of sites in the city, it’s free!. It’s also one of the biggest universities in the country, so as you wander around the campus, you’ll see plenty of students and professors going from building to building."

"The superbly restored Royal Albert Dock was the first such facility in Britain to be built using only bricks and iron. At its heart is an impressive five-story-high block of buildings surrounding the harbor basin where cotton, tobacco, and sugar were once unloaded. These enormous Victorian structures are built around an arcaded walkway, their cast Tuscan columns once serving as capstans for moored ships."

"There’s just something about being by the water that can be romantic. Royal Albert Dock as the sun sets is divine. [Insert emoji with heart eyes here.] When you head down to the docks and see that view, you can definitely see why it was the perfect setting for a little romancing back in the day for all those sailors that arrived at Liverpool."

"The old weather map from Granada News is long gone, but there are pirate ships and boats to look at. Liverpool is a city in which to wander. You can wander around the dock, have lunch at Pizza Express, have ice cream on the grass and the kids can entertain themselves for hours on the riverfront."

"You’ll find that Pie & Ale is spread over two spacious rooms and a large outdoor area, meaning that there’s more than enough space to spread out and relax while enjoying a tasty craft beer. Make sure to order your perfectly-crafted specialty beer with one of their pies. They pair together perfectly."

"If the name wasn't a giveaway, this Manchester bar is famous for two things. Pie & Ale is situated in the Northern Quarter of this great city and combines a slick modern interior with traditional food and beer. Expect a selection from local micro-breweries paired with handmade pies."

"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."

"Crosby Lakeside Bistro and Bar offers a marina front location and views. Customers have the option to eat indoors or outdoors to enjoy the views they have to offer. Sit out on the decking area and watch the sunset or even watch the water activities that go on."

"Tucked away on Smithdown Road, Raggas might not be the most glamourous of restaurants, but its food certainly packs a punch. You can’t book a table (you’re better off taking your food home with you or ordering takeaway) but you can enjoy some incredible authentic Caribbean food made to the exacting recipe of Jamaica-born Raggas. Started after Raggas and his friend Verdain decided that Liverpool was crying out for good, original and fresh Caribbean cuisine, they set about providing Smithdown Road with the same food Raggas had become legendary for in Port Antonio, Jamaica."

"If authentic Caribbean cuisine is what you’re looking for, then look no further. Raggas has established itself as the most popular Caribbean restaurant in Liverpool, and judging by their menu, it is easy to understand why. Choosing a favourite from the mouth-watering menu was a tough one for us because there is simply so much to choose from, but our favourite dish has to be their Ackee & Saltfish."

"The popular Caribbean restaurant recently opened a new branch on Bold Street, and dishes like this show why it's going down a storm. Perfect to eat in or take outside to stuff your face in the sunshine."

"The nation loves a PizzaExpress and we’re delighted to have one of their stylish restaurants right here at Lowry Outlet."

"Uppercrust on Foregate Street is a popular choice with late night revellers at the bottom end of town. Pizzas, burgers, kebabs - this is a good place to grab some fast food on the go on the way home from a night out."

"Roscoe Head is the very definition of a hidden gem and the only pub in North West to feature in every edition of the Good Beer Guide, since first published in 1974. Given the attritional rate of pub closures, that’s no mean feat and deserves a visit if you ask us. Every now and then a pub becomes so much more than just four walls to drink beer in and Roscoe Head is one of those fine establishments that have become an institution since opening."

"An institution amongst Liverpool boozers is this venerable old pub, which serves a good selection of ales to its ever-loyal clientele. It gets pretty crowded at weekends, but that just makes for an even better..."
