Things to do and places to see in Manchester

Manchester, the UK’s fifth-largest city with a population of just over half a million, is a vibrant, characterful destination full of surprises. Known for its rich industrial heritage, cutting-edge culture and warm northern spirit, it’s a city that’s buzzing with life yet surrounded by peaceful countryside — making it a brilliant base for exploring both urban highlights and rural escapes.

Whether you're into music, art, history, food or nightlife, there’s something here for everyone. Here are some of our favourite places to visit:

• Manchester Cathedral: Manchester has a lot of fantastic buildings including Gorton Monastery, Mamucium or The Hidden Gem. They are all worth a look but the most breathtaking building is the Manchester Cathedral. Built back in 1421, the gothic church holds a lot of history, fossils and wood carvings. Manchester Cathedral is a wonderful place to learn about the city’s history and to see some stunning architecture.
• Chinatown: Manchester’s China Town is the 2nd largest in the UK. The entrance is marked by a large paifang arch, raised in 1987. This is a perfect place to have a stroll around and taste the delicious Asian cuisine offered by the local eateries and restaurants.
• Whitworth Art Gallery: This is yet another example of the stunning architecture Manchester has. Whitworth Art Gallery is an awesome, red building housing magnificent art from famous artists including Van Gogh, Picasso, Turner, Bacon, Hockney and Lowry, making it an absolute must-visit for art enthusiasts.
• Chill Factore: This is definitely a unique place. The longest indoor snow slope in the UK. It extends for over 180 meters and offers a tonne of fun for anybody who loves to ski, snowboard or just potter about in the snow. It’s a great place if you want to learn how to ski. The place also offers other activities like climbing, air boarding and snowscoot.
