I highly recommend just walking through Manchester city centre if you are interested in architecture and photography. ManchesterΒ  has many old, historical buildings as well as new, modern buildings.

Libraries

Chetham's and John Ryland always give me this Harry Potter feeling. Truly magical places I got to say.

Chetham's Library
@adriana_P
Discover the oldest public library in Britain (dating back to 1412) just a few minutes walk from Manchester Victoria train station.

John Rylands Research Institute and Library
@adriana_P
Another gorgeous library you can visit and even study there! This old library was established By John and Enriqueta who were advocates for self-improvement. Enriqueta spent a lot of money to establish the library and she gave it away with a big chunk of money after she passed.

MuseumsΒ 

Not like most museums, here you can touch things! Well, not everything but I think that the interactive floor is enjoyable for both kids and adults. Have a hands-on experience of science.Β

Shopping

Retail therapy it is! Shops after shop, you can literally get anything in these two places.Β 

The Trafford Centre
@adriana_P
The place that has everything. Cinema, restaurants, sea life and loads of shops. The architecture is also gorgeous inside and out. On a rainy day, this might be your best option for a day out. Go to the cinema, have some food and treat yourself to something nice.
