    Manchester's hip and trendy area. Full of independent bars and shops. We'll show you where to pick up all the bargains and which bars to try out later. A myriad of very cool street art follows us around as we explore the streets. Many of which have appeared in Netflix and Hollywood blockbusters.

    Home of the city's LGBTQ community and the centre point for Manchester Pride. Manchester's famous Canal street shot to fame in the 90's when Queer as Folk was filmed here. The area is home to some of the most popular bars and nightclubs in the country. A lot of historical moments of change have happened on this street.

    The second largest Chinatown in the country after London. Amazing restaurants, supermarket overflowing with produce and old ladies arguing over the days events in one of the pagodas. What's not to love about this most atmospheric of Manchester's communities.

  • 5

    Home of the Northern Pantheon (or Central Library as we know it). The square has been a meeting point for Mancunians for centuries. This was the spot where the Peterloo massacre took place and is now the home of the fantastic Emmeline Pankhurst statue.

    "It's like stepping into Hogwarts" is a phrase we hear a lot when we visit the library. And we can't argue.

    We are one of the only cities in the world (outside of America) to have an American US president's statue. It's all to do with the Cotton famine and how Manchester's workers refused to work with cotton picked by slaves.
