Not been back for a while, but:

There's a good industrial museum.

Natural History Museum

Some excellent gallaries

The renovated canal/docks area

OLD TRAFFORD :o)

Trafford Centre for shopping

Some of the best pubs and beers in the world

Nightlife was great when I was growing up there - too old for it now!

Some good parks

Check out the older parts of town - Town Hall, Whitworth street(if it's still there)

If you go a little out of town you have the Peak District 30 minutes away, Yorkshire Dales 45 Mins, Lake District a couple of hours.

Not much in Manchester unless you want to see how drug deals go down in the city.

Depends what you like, if you want nice countryside and peace then you will be disappointed.

However if you like nightclubs etc then OK that about all there is.
