I stayed with a friend who lives in Manchester's Northern Quarter so sadly I don't have any personal recommendations on where to stay, but I found the city to be easily walkable.
I spent 3 hours alone wandering around from Canal Street > St Peter's Square > John Rylands Research Institute and Library > Castlefield Bowl > Deansgate

Manchester United Museum & Stadium Tour
@shonamullarkey
Even if you're not a Man U or footy fan (I'm neither!!), spending part of the day on a tour is a great way to understand the history of this club and it's significance within the city!
It turned out much better than I imagined and I'm really glad I went on a tour - learnt a lot too
You get to explore the museum beforehand which includes the history and trophy room; you have plenty of opportunities to see all over the stadium grounds and take photos; see the footballers changing room; the tunnels; and press room.

Great spot for a quick bite to eat.
I came across the market stands in the area (Thursday) which had amazing local cheeses and fresh cakes which I had to buy.

IWM North
@shonamullarkey
Beautiful architect from the outside and exhibitions that I got lost in for hours:
- Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors
- 60-degree cinematic Big Picture Show
- I also had a chat with volunteer Ray who talked about Tom Boardman, a Far East prisoner of war which is an emotional story

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Traveller
Welcome :)
I’m Shona, from London and I have spent a couple of years living abroad in Australia and New Zealand!
I’ll be sharing all my tips, recommendations and hot-spots to all the places I have visited and lived in.
I hope this will help you have an incredible trip if you are heading there yourself or maybe you have yet to add it to your bucket list - my know-how might just convince you to go there!
My ‘traveller’ guides are a mixture of backpacker and comfortable style to travelling; are aimed at those wanting to experience a more local way of life; and are based on a budget plan (with the odd treat or two thrown in):
Accommodation - mixture of hostels, homestays, hotels and airbnbs
Transport - the most affordable and efficient modes of transport
Food and Drink - recommendations for all those hotspots that are easily found or hidden, to grab brunch, dinner or have some evening cocktails with friends or solo
The rest: I will cover everything from what to see, activities you can do depending on your interests, tours you can do to make the most of your trip, and much more!
