Things to Do in Manchester in the Day
There’s no denying that Manchester is a Mecca for sports fans. Old Trafford and the Etihad, the home grounds of Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs, are top of many Manchester weekend break itineraries. For non-sports fans, a stadium tour is still a fascinating experience. Both founded in the late 1800’s, football and club rivalry are woven into the fabric of Manchester culture. Situated southeast and northwest of Manchester city centre, Old Trafford and Etihad Stadium are easy to get to and well worth a visit.
For a more relaxed pace to your weekend city break, a walking tour of Manchester city centre is just the ticket. Manchester weekend breaks provide ample time to explore the city at your own leisure. Some of the must-see highlights of Manchester include:
- Piccadilly Gardens which are particularly refreshing on a hot day
- Manchester cathedral with its mesmerising medieval architecture has now stood for over 600 years
- Famous filming locations include blockbuster hits Captain America: The First Avenger, Sherlock Holmes, Darkest Hour, and plenty of Peaky Blinders locations for you to spot
- John Rylands Library is popular with bookworms and architecture lovers, known for its stunning neo-gothic high-vaulted ceilings
