A weekend in Manchester

Industrial heritage, modernist art, and Northern Quarter eateries.

Manchester is the cradle of the Industrial Revolution and one of Britain's most-revived post-industrial cities. A weekend covers the Manchester Museum (free, Egyptian collection), the Science and Industry Museum (also free, in the original Liverpool Road station building), the Whitworth, and an evening in the Northern Quarter for independent shops and food.
