Top things to do in Manchester

During the football season, you might just be able to hear the roaring crowds in Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium, while the cricket terraces and the rugby pitches come alive with thousands of fans at other times of the year. Joining the party to cheer on your team of choice can be a great way to feel the pulse of local life. If you'd prefer not to get sporty, then how about a trip to the acclaimed Imperial War Museum North to unravel sobering tales of World War 2, or an artistic foray into the exhibits of the rich Manchester Art Gallery? Night time provides visitors with a another top thing to do: partying in the Northern Quarter. Folk go there to hear twanging blues and jazz and independent rock, echoing between the craft bars and old industrial depots.

Getting around in Manchester

Manchester is home to one of the most efficient tram systems in the UK, so be sure to make use of those sleek, air-conditioned carriages if you're looking to whizz from place to place in the city centre. Buses are a fine alternative for getting to and from any Manchester holiday apartments that aren't close to a tram stop, with regular routes running past the main train interchanges of Victoria and Piccadilly. You certainly won't need to think about hiring a car if you plan on limiting your trip to the heart of the town and the Northern Quarter, but it could be useful if you're looking to bag a stay in the rolling backcountry of the pretty Peak District or Cheshire Plain.
