You've really done the city justice -- I've always struggled with recommendations when people visit as tourists. I always think the city is best experienced for it's atmosphere rather than for it's attractions.
Thank you so much, Matthew 🙌 I totally agree - there may be bigger castles and more obvious 'things to see' in other UK cities, but it's hard to find a better atmosphere than in Manchester.
Great to see the improvement in my old home city. I haven't lived there for over 30 years (I live in SW France now). The change to Ancoats is extraordinary. It's not somewhere you'd ever want to walk at night last time was there. So happy to see it looking like the cosmopolitan city it deserves to be. I definitely plan to visit for a few days at some point.
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree 🙌 I’ve been coming to Manchester quite a lot since 2015 and I feel like the city (and especially areas like Ancoats and Northern Quarter) are changing a lot from each visit. There’s always a new cool spot to check out and I’m all for it 😀🇬🇧
I've lived close by to Manchester all my 44 years. If you've been gone that long you won't believe how it's changed. It's a genuinely world class city now you'd be pleased with what you find.
The transformation started since c2005 when the Beetham tower was under construction. I've lost count of the number of tall towers that have mushroomed since then. There are countless building projects still in the pipeline and the city will double in size in the next 10 years. I have lived in and around Manchester in the last 50 years and one thing I can definitely tell you is that the city has become a very beautiful place to visit.
same here.... left in 1996 for hong kong...which was probably a key year in Manchester's turn around...i have had fleeting visits since and it always looks more vibrant than it did
best city in the world, great day out and great night out. I dont normally like cities but Manchester is superb and the ppl are so nice. Ive spent many a drunken day in Manny
@@mags6452 I'm from manchester n call it manny are you even from manchester??! & secondly if I see you in manny I'll pull you a face nastier than that emjoi .
I would say it's the worst place iv been. The city is ok apart from the junkies passed out in the city center and the rubbish everywhere but head of of the cirty to the suburbs and everywhere is is dump.
I ended up at Mackie Mayor because my hotel had a fire alarm go off and I just wandered in. Had some of the best tacos of my life, and I’ve had tacos in Texas and Mexico multiple times. Very pleasantly surprised
As a Canadian visiting the Trafford Centre, I found the development mirrored in some parts West Edmonton Mall. It was in it's own way unique and yet surprisingly a familiar environmental feel. Yes... It's huge!.
Visiting from Philadelphia in June! Can’t wait. Also I recommend Philadelphia to any Brits who want to branch out from La or NYC. Super underrated with lots of great pubs , food and American (and British) history!
It is a phenomenal city to visit! this video was a great showcase for it's attractions/attributes. By day the city bustles, by night it rocks and parties, it's architecture is beautifully emphasized by illumination after dark. Visit the Cathedral and Alan Turing memorial. Trafford Centre etc if you have the time. (in addition to the attractions in the video).
As Manchester United fan, I had the highest form of excitement, cheer watching the video. Hopefully, one day I will be able to see city, Old Trafford in real life 🙏 Thank you for the video.
That’s the beauty of RUclips - being able to “visit” cities and places all over the world 🌍 Thanks for your kind words, I hope you’ll one day get to experience Manchester 🇬🇧
Make sure you take a raincoat and umbrella when visiting that 💩hole, instead consider visiting the home of the premier league champions, you won’t need a raincoat or umbrella, and you’ll see lots of real trophies.
@@onthekippaxsince75 Even Nottingham Forrest has more international titles than fucking Shitty, mate. That meaningless club has more demands than titles.
Great tour of the city. Going to visit Manchester for the first time in January 2025, so this walk around did help me a lot. Could you give me some info on prices for a pint,lunch or dinner? Greetings from Slovenia.
My memories of the Wellington, Old Shambles/Sinclairs was when I worked for an architect involved in it's renovation at the time the Arndale was under construction. It seems almost inconceivable it has survived centuries and yet the last century saw it relocated, distroyed and reconstructed after bombing and becoming more popular than ever in it's new Hanging Ditch location.
Is Manchester safe for a solo trip by women? I'm planning to go and I'm collecting as many tips as I can. If there's any Mancunian here who could share more insights, I'd really appreciate it! Great video!! Congrats, mate!
I'm Canadian, but visited often! Manchester International Airport for arrivals/departures. There is a direct rail connection from the airports 3 terminals to the city centre.
It may seem that way, but if you take a train from Piccadilly Station to Edale area, and look back at the city you will be astonished at the green and pleasant land!.
@@destinationwellknownsome people tried like 80 odd years ago in their back yard or the communal yard. But they were very invested in what their parents were up to? Soz. My nan was very into growing stuff
15 minutes on the Tram (Metrolink), will take you to Heaton Park, the the largest municipal park in Europe, over 600 acres of green space, with a boating lake and cafes.
Does one have to necessarily be gay to go there? surely one can appreciate that it's/an eclectic environment any one can experience without prejudices.
This is actually the best Manc travel guide I've ever found on here
Wow, thank you so much!! 🇬🇧
Innit hahahah
Agrred!

Like the video - keep them coming! :)
Thanks a lot! Will do 🤝
Thanks for this great guide. Looking forward to Manchester soon. Cheers from Zurich in Switzerland 💪
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing - have a wonderful trip to Manchester 🤝
Don't waste your time
@@munterboy1744 why!
Pizza and beer is not a weird combination at all, at least in Italy! :) Great video!
I’m glad an Italian approves 😀🙏 Thank you!
Pizza and stout is quite unusual. Pizza and lager/pilsnet/ipa is unbeatable.
As a Mancunian myself, this is class mate
Thanks a lot 🙏
Im currently in Manchester and literally, this was my guide through the city. Thank you!
That’s awesome to hear, thanks for your comment 🙌
Happy to be staying in Manchester.
Brilliant video!! Absolutely love Manchester!!! Love from Glasgow!! Haha!
Thanks a lot! I love Glasgow 🤝
I’m coming to MC soon. I may stay in the Northern Quarter after seeing this video.
Awesome - NQ is such a cool area tbh. Have a great trip to Manchester 🙌
Wow good trip to my dream city, bro! keep it up
Thanks a lot - will do 😀

Thanks a lot 🙌🇬🇧
@@destinationwellknown you welcome 👍
Top recommendations there!
Thanks man 🙌
This was such a good travel guide for Manchester and I have to say you are very charming 😊
Thank you 😀
Mulligans fell out of there many times
Cask is a great little bar!
Thanks for this video 💫 it really brought new insights about the city to me . I'd like to ask a question. Living there costs much?
great video!
Thanks!

The mall looks phenomenal sending love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
It's very big! 😃
Great city review will definitely visit!
Thank you! I hope you’ll enjoy your time in Manchester 🙌
Nice and succinct - very well done. I can no longer go in the Old Wellington as it looked brand new inside after they moved it.
My memories of the Wellington, Old Shambles/Sinclairs was when I worked for an architect involved in it's renovation at the time the Arndale was under construction. It seems almost inconceivable it has survived centuries and yet the last century saw it relocated, distroyed and reconstructed after bombing and becoming more popular than ever in it's new Hanging Ditch location.
Top watch!
Cheers 🤝

Recommendations on how to get to Manchester coming from the U.S! Which airport? Want to go see Manchester United play!
Manchester Airport 🫣😀
I'm Canadian, but visited often! Manchester International Airport for arrivals/departures. There is a direct rail connection from the airports 3 terminals to the city centre.
If Mulligans is the best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland, it just goes to show what a bang average drink it is worldwide.
Hello CitizenCon!
lmao I came to this video looking for things to do while in town for CitizenCon
@@JulianneDoesThings BarCitizen was crazy, they had 2000 people there. honestly the con took up all of my time even though I had and extra day there.
Manchester has the oldest library in Europe (Chatham), some great art galleries, science museum, was the birth of communism and splitting of the atom
👍👍🙂
Thank you for a great video of my home. I'm wondering how many times you said 'Manchester' 🤣
Manchester seems to have very little green areas compared to other UK cities, not that it doesn't have at all but they're all far from the center.
True, that’s a bit of a shame tbh
It may seem that way, but if you take a train from Piccadilly Station to Edale area, and look back at the city you will be astonished at the green and pleasant land!.

@@jonmac3995 Thanks for the suggestion, it looks very nice although it's definitely more than 15 minutes from the city center.
Interesting accent!

Manchester travel guide:
Step 1: dont go
😂
Hehe 😝 I don’t agree
@@destinationwellknown it's OK, its subjective anyways. Nice video btw, greetings!
If you don't know what you're talking about, keep your mouth shut. You haven't a clue about the weather.
Can you elaborate? cuz I've heard it's super rainy as well
It’s why the cotton industry was able to flourish here.
DON'T GO TO AFFLECKS, IT'S THE GAYEST PLACE I EVER BEEN
Best city in UK by far!!
Definitely in my top 3, love Manchester!
@@destinationwellknown Manchester is also one of the best cities in Europe by far.
@@valentynaartysyuk9129 Well you havent travelled much in Europe then have you
how do you know ?? 😂
This a joke?
You reccomend someone to Afflecks? Are you insist someone to be a GAY or something?
