|5 Places To Visit In Manchester

As a proud Mancunian i thought i was only right to share some of my favourite places to visit!


|Victoria Baths
I think this has to be my favourite building ever! As the name suggests it is an old swimming baths, i reopened fairly recently after a huge restoration project. There are guided tours available but you can also just wander round at your own pace! It has been used at a filming location for a lot of shows.



A hidden gem in Manchester i only recently came across it and it is absolutely amazing.  This Gothic library is an incredible visit if you are a lover of architecture.



This restaurant is the best i have ever been to and it has been my favourite for a good few years now! I always go for occasions. The decor is lavish but also modern, there are great original features as it used to be a bank. Even though is is extravagant the prices are very reasonable and i always recommend this place to anybody who asks!

|Ordsall Hall
Ordsall hall is a place that i have known about for years as i went on school trips there in primary school! It is a striking building in the middle of an estate, the contrast is fascinating.  The hall is free admission and is very fascinating to look around.



Coronation Street has to be one of the most iconic Manchester locations and i had to include! The Coronation Street tour ends at the end of the year so i would book now if you want to go! You get a tour of the street and also some of the interior sets as well as a collection of iconic items!

|Victoria Baths

Victoria Baths is a place that i have been wanting to visit for ages but as it is open every Wednesday and the first Sunday of every month i have only just been able to visit! There was a vintage fair on when i went, i think it is on every couple of months. I'm lucky to live only 15/20 minutes from this amazing place so i don't have to travel miles!
The baths has undergone a £5 million restoration. When you go you can walk around yourself or go on a guided tour and learn about the history which cost £6.
If you are a fan of architecture i would 100% recommend a visit it is only £3 entry. It has become my favourite place in Manchester and i will definitely be visiting again!
