Enjoy interactive displays in the fun and educational Museum of Science and Industry, and be sure to visit the Imperial War Museum North on the redeveloped quayside. Manchester also has many fine restaurants and smart shopping outlets, and its theatres and other entertainment venues are always popular.

Manchester is well known for its lively entertainment, music and theatre scene, but just a few miles from its busy centre is some of England’s most beautiful countryside, including the Wirral, the Lake District and the Peak District.

Transportation and parking
