Manchester travel tips
See the history of Manchester in Manchester Cathedral
The warm staff of Manchester Cathedral is glad to see you in the cathedral and to tell you a lot about this absolutely for free. Go there to observe medieval choirs and ancient archives, bees on the roof and kangaroos carved on thrones. Check the affiche if you have enough time to visit classical music concerts or served with coffee and wine fairs set to jazz in it.
Step back in time at Stockport Air Raid Shelters in Manchester
Head to the Stockport Air Raid Shelters in Manchester to experience Britain's past and see what life was like during The Second World War and how local people came here to stay safe during air raids. The bravest guys may opt for a night walk in this place, a bit spooky but very true-to-life.
Follow the steps of Queen Mother Elizabeth and Winston Churchill in Manchester
Take a fancy shot at the background of the Midland Hotel in Manchester. It is not only a stunning-looking building but also a site to stay for outstanding people. In November 1959, Queen Mother Elizabeth dined at a hotel restaurant after watching a performance. Winston Churchill made political speeches within the walls of this building.
