      Canal Street might give you some diversions.

      If you like spicy food, the Rusholme is your destination- Manchester's Curry Mile.


      There's Chinatown, the City Art Gallery, the Whitworth Art Gallery, the Science Museum, where Engels used to live ( )Victorian Neo-Gothic architecture by Waterhouse, more clubs and pubs then you could shake a bottle of slivovitz at...

      ..what are you interested in, and how long are you staying ?

        I am staying Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. But I will be attending a meeting on Wednesday and I am not sure when it will and (most probably 5pm)

        I am not particularly interested in the Art Galleries but the Science Museum sounds interesting.
        I don't think I'll be visiting any pubs and bars. Unless some apolytoner insist on buing me a beer

          I'm going to Manchester for a conference next week too as it happens. We are staying at the Willowbank Hotel. It sounds nice but it's probably a dive.

              If you're staying at the aiport and arriving at 3, there's not much time for sightseeing by the time you've checked in and headed into town...

                              Buy some matches and set fire to Old Trafford while you are there.

                              You're bound to kill about 50,000 Londoners and Malaysians.
