Loved the place

I was pleasantly surprised by my trip to Manchester, I only went to watch the cricket but ended up having six huge nights. Might even move there

Manchester...your so vintage

in manchester for 36 hours, there were tons of student places. tons of vintage stores and of course football. its a hip, not in your face city.

  • Insider tip:go check out the vintage clothes stores and if you miss mexican food like i do then go to the mexican place right in the main square.

Manchester isn`t great place for tourists,i have to say. quite small and dirty. i would recommend Science museum and shopping during the day and i think everyone can find right place for partying during the night. the thing i did not like the most was... bunch of drunken english teens(i like to party and i travel a lot,but english kids are just awful and the most annoying people i`ve seen!!)! so my advise is... if you want to visit England,but can go to different place... just do it!! cheers
