Most underrated city
Having travelled twice to manchester, I can sense how under rated it is as a holiday destination. While, it offers everything that it should. When i first went there I had this industrial sort of image of Manchester. No doubt some areas of Manchester retain their industrial past. But the city's come a long way from it. I don't even want to talk about football.
I feel what works best is some sort of walking tour. This has never failed me. It orients you so well with a place and also if there's a guide you get deep insights and tips on things that improve the quality of your stay. From knowing about the legends who are from Manchester to the music scene and sports history. It's a great start. I also enjoyed visiting museums. In the case of Manchester it has not one or two but three of them. People's history museum was fascinating.
There are theaters and galleries in Salford quay. The likes of Manchester art gallery which is absolutely worth you time. Good transport around town. There are trams as well to take you places. The nightlife and food scene is quite good too. I think more people ought to try manchester and they'll get what I am talking about.

People's History Museum Manchester 🏛️

All I'm saying is that when you go to the People's History Museum in Manchester, just immerse yourself completely. It really is a gem! Set in the area of Spinningfields, it traces a course through the toil and effort put out by working people. The exhibits are intense and provoking, offering a new point of view about social change. The testament to the fight for women's rights was, of course, that section on suffragettes. #PHMMcr-#SocialJustice With their interactive displays, the past is given life and becomes a gift to all ages. Later, stroll the nearby Spinningfields neighborhood for fashionable restaurants and bars. Not to be missed by history buffs and anyone with a passion for people's stories! 👥🌟 #Manchester #uk #Traveladdict

Explore Manchester | Large-scale industrial monsters
From London, it takes about two hours by train to reach Manchester in the northwest of England. As a typical industrial city, Manchester may not have as many tourist attractions as other British cities, nor does it have too many ancient buildings, but it has its own unique industrial heritage and charm, with a mix of industrial and modern styles.
❤️Recommendation reason:
Several museums in Manchester are very special. Manchester Museum focuses on nature and all living things, People's History Museum focuses on the struggle for rights, and the Science and Industry Museum presents the interesting and rich heritage of the city's industries such as railways and textiles.
Manchester's library is also worth a visit, at least the architectural style is much more attractive than London's. Manchester's canals are a unique scenery, the former transportation hub is now developed into a tourist and leisure destination.
Overall, Manchester, with its construction projects everywhere, is a city with ambition. Living here is as convenient as in London, but with less gloominess and more vitality of a modern city.
