Manchester DiningArts & CultureSightseeing
Sophisticated cafes and bars have become a major core of Manchester’s nightlife
and entertainment options. Why not visit the restaurant Le Petit Blanc belonging
to the famed chef Raymond Blanc or the popular curry mile home to Shere Khan.
Make a night of it and head off to a funky jazz or chic wine bar, after which
you can party the night away via the popular club scene.
International artists and famous celebrities grace the MEN for concerts and
shows so try and catch one of these whilst you are visiting. Alternatively
the Pankhurst Centre, a converted childhood home of the famous suffragette
Emmeline Pankhurst, is perfect for all you history buffs. For more contemporary
choices, there are countless art museums and galleries to tour and admire.
The Godlee Observatory is a hidden wonder of Manchester built in 1902 and still
fully functioning with the original telescope in place. Spiral staircases and
interesting architecture along with inspiring views make this definitely worth
a visit. The Museum of Science and Industry is perfect for Victorian era presentation
and houses a wealth of productions and machinery through the ages.
