[2025 Manchester Stay] Travel Guide for Manchester City (Piccadilly) (Updated Feb)

If you happen to find yourself in Manchester and you only have one day then no worries, you will still have a good fun walking around the city center or probably pub hopping too if that is what you are keen in doing. What to see? 1. Piccadilly Gardens - it is a green space with benches where people hang about and just enjoy the sun. There are also kids playing around so it is a perfect place for families to just have a short rest while walking around piccadilly. It is surrounded by a lot of establishments and commercial buildings such as restaurants, shops, bakeries and cafes. 2. Bar hopping- we went to Sawyer arms and also The Circus Tavern which is apparently one of the smallest bars in the country. 3. St. Peter Square - this is a walking distance from piccadilly gardens and this place has libraries and surrounded by beautiful architecture . Have fun! #instatravel #trip #travel #uk

Manchester has an important position in the history of railways. The Liverpool-Manchester Railway, which opened in 1830, was the birthplace of railway passenger transport. In the past 50 years, the city center has been surrounded by a large number of train stations, but now there are only two main railway stations in the city centre - Victoria Railway Station and Piccadilly Railway Station, connecting Manchester and most parts of the UK. There are also several small stations in the city centre: Oxford Road Station, Dianskiy Railway Station and Schalfort Central Station. Although there is no underground railway system in Manchester, there is still a light rail system in the city that connects the city's districts and surrounds Manchester's city centre.

Manchester is a very lovely scenic walk, especially next to the canal, it was lovely to see everyone out at about after a concert all happy. I will definitely be coming to Manchester City again to go on more walks and see more of the beautiful city that Manchester is. I recommend going to see a concert at the coop live as it is a very stunning arena and perfect for concerts

Britannia Hotel has a bathtub for my single room. I was surprised. Decent breakfast included.
