There is plenty to see and do whilst visiting the City of Manchester from cultural trips at the many museums and art galleries, to the excitement of watching two of England’s Premiership football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City Football Club.

Some of the local attractions that should definitely not be missed whilst visiting Manchester include:

- Albert Square – can be found right in the heart of Manchester and is named for its memorial to Victoria's beloved husband
