"The museum is located on Liverpool Street and is a fantastic day out with children. The museum is devoted to the development of science, technology and industry with emphasis on the city’s achievements in these fields. I love this emphasis and it shows how much Manchester has to be proud of."

"There is a Air and Space Hall, Power Hall, Station Building, 1830 Warehouse and Great Western Warehouse, each with a different story to tell about the city. The museum was so big, I didn’t even make it to all the halls as I ‘just’ had one afternoon to see it all!"

The Big Picture Show uses the latest HD projection technology to tell people’s stories of war in a vivid and captivating way."

"The Northern sister to London’s Imperial War Museum, the Manchester venue is just as engrossing, and sobering as it’s southern equivalent. Built on the ruins of the docklands industrial area, which was bombed heavily itself during the Blitz. A stunning collection, ranging from World War memorabilia to sections of the World Trade Center wreckage can be found in one of the best collections to be found in any museums in Manchester."

"The People’s History Museum, or the National Museum of Democracy, exhibits the entire spectrum of British social past, its present and future.

The place is home to some amazing displays that include natural historical ones as well as live animals in the newly introduced “Vivarium”. It is certainly an awesome place to take the children."

You’ll find everything from Egyptian mummies to dinosaur skeletons and unusual beetles inside. Ensure that you take time to explore the vivarium and visit the collection of rare frogs and reptiles."

"On Deansgate in Manchester is the John Rylands Library, a late-19th century Victorian building in a Gothic style. What’s so different about this library is that it looks a lot more like a cathedral than a place for housing books. It is considered by many as Manchester’s most beautiful building and houses some of the earliest books ever printed."

"Manchester also has the John Rylands Library, churches, cathedrals, and museums dedicated to art, culture, and history. In the evening, prepare for your flight home from Manchester International Airport."

"The popular Spenders Bar, located on West Street, in Southport town centre knows how to draw a crowd. The venue is owned by Paul Drewery, former bar manager at The Scarisbrick Hotel, who was among the team at the Scarisbrick which won the title of the World's Best Flair Bar. Now he has opened his own bar with an amazing cocktail menu, in the venue which formerly belonged to Bar Humbug."

"Serving up quality Antipodean-style coffee from two locations in the heart of Manchester city centre, the ever-popular and much-loved Federal Cafe & Bar is still open for walk-ins to grab yourself a wide range of takeaway beverages this weekend. 9 Nicholas Croft, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1EY&94 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 3ND. You can find more information via the Federal Cafe & Bar website here."

"Making a name for themselves on the local culinary scene, Federal has become a brunch favourite for tourists and locals. If their photos featuring delicious meals won't bring you in, the nearly 5-star rating across the board should. Open daily and serving all-day brunch, this is the place to visit if you get that breakfast craving."

"You will have seen the snaking queues on a Saturday in the Northern Quarter, and now also at their second home on Deansgate. Those queues are for good reason. Federal serve up tasty Instagrammable brunch dishes, alongside Ozone coffee."

"Based in the Northern Quarter, this café serves breakfast and lunch dishes including a large range of hot dishes. One TripAdvisor traveller said: “I usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."

"Everyone’s favourite pop-up is back for all our food, drink and retail needs, everyday from the 12th. With food from all over the world and, more importantly, those dangerous two for £10 cocktails, Hatch is now open for bookings as well as walk-ins, so secure your table ASAP. Six weeks from now… Spring is in the air."

"Tiny nanobrewery Öl has its own brew kit on-site and makes some fabulous concoctions. But, as a result of the tiny set-up, their own beers usually sell out incredibly fast, so they stock a range of others too. Find them at Hatch on Oxford Road in one of the shipping containers."

"Hatch is a hip and trendy box park located on Oxford Road, close to the University of Manchester. You can head there for drinks or food or shopping. Moreover, you can take some nice photos there."

"Barton Arcade is a Victorian shopping arcade that has shops and restaurants on the ground floor and offices and administrative spaces on all the other floors. The architecture style is really beautiful and the stairs between floors are stunning as well. Barton Arcade is especially beautiful when it’s empty in the morning hours (just after opening), so you can capture it without the crowds."

"Barton Arcade is a beautiful grade II listed Victorian shopping arcade which is a 5-minute walk from the Arndale Centre. Therefore, the transport links are the same as those to the Arndale Centre. This is one of the best places for shopping in Manchester if you prefer local independent businesses."

"Buile Hill Park is, for many, the pillar of the Salford community. Situated in Seedley and Pendleton, it is the largest park in the city, and also the second oldest behind Peel Park. The park as we know it today was opened in 1903 when, what was known as Seedley Park, and the grounds of Buile Hill house were joined together by the closure of the ‘dog entry’ path which had separated them."

"Buile Hill Park is a Grade II listed public park and hall and is the second oldest park in the city, after Peel Park. The park is also the largest in the city, as well as one of the most popular. Buile Hill Park has a significant history, with close links to the artist LS Lowry, as well as being used as a military base in both world wars."
