Manchester (MAN) has a lot in its kitty from sightseeing to wonderful nightlife and awesome accommodation. Manchester is known by some for its influence on the histories of industry and music, and for its sporting connections. Manchester’s wealth lies in its fascinating museums which are capable of clearly projecting the history of the city.

Avoid the multi-storey car parks if you can and look for some open-air car parks, as parking can be pretty expensive.

Take in the historical sights of the Victorian Gothic Town Hall and neo-Classical, circular Central Library at Albert Square. From there, the sheer, sparkling Beetham Tower is immediately attention-grabbing as it's the UK's tallest building outside London. Also don't miss nearby Exchange Square with its giant ferris wheel and the stunning, triangular glass exhibition centre Urbis, which is home to fascinating art and cultural exhibitions throughout the year.
