Manchester is easy to get around...from where we were staying we could pretty much walk anywhere in the city center. You are never to far from anything. The city has a light rail system as well as local buses. Neither seemed to hard to take, at the same time nothing seemd to far away.
The city revolves around a big square...there are a bunch of monuments there, a couple fountains and places to sit. Reataurants, pubs and shopping are all within a walk away. With the old criss cross streets you can sometimes get lost but youre never to far away. Some of the bar scene is further out of town..within a 7sterling cab ride. Other places of interest lie within the outskirts of the city..tours are available through hotels ....as well...there is a selection of restaurants....all ranges...you can though find everything from thai to chiken wings......Have fun over a few days and enjoy the sights.
The city was quite nice...an obviously, not too crowded. Not sure why it was so quiet in this photo....we were just walking around and shootin the breeze (hitch and I that is).....there was some interesting stuff that filled our time...not with standing the many many pubs and eateries....watch out though....Manchester has the second most pizza hut restaurants outside of Glasgow.
- Pros:Compact city...not overcrowded, some good history.
- Cons:No bars in between pubs and $20 cover.
- In a nutshell:Had a good time...didnt expect to much and didnt break the bank.
