Food
If you are travelling on a budget like me but have a big appetite, seems like the value for $$ Chinese buffet at Manchester Chinatown can satisfy you.
Lunch goes for £5.5 (weekday) and you enjoy a decent range of food...
and of course there's the usual fastfood all around which goes for around the same price, subway and burger king and other delis.
Metro
The city of Manchester does not have a underground train system, instead they used trams which are called Metro. Detailed information about the stops and the map can be found here.
Tickets have to be bought at the tram stops before you board the tram, if not you face a hefty fine.
Old Trafford
I'm sure that those who travel to Manchester will want to have a look at this great football club's homeground - Old Trafford. It's really easy to get there via Metro. Just board the Altrincham line (meaning travelling towards Altrincham) and get off at Old Trafford. Easy right? It takes about 20minutes to reach but you have to factor in waiting time.
and one more thing! Email Manchester United on their homepage to make a reservation for the Stadium and Museum Tour, they will reply with an email confirmation with a code. It's highly popular and are booked real fast.
Prices for a stadium tour is £8.32 and £11.74 for a Stadium + Museum Tour (information correct as of 2 January 2009). There are group rates as well, so do check out Man U's homepage for more info. The stadium tour is well worth the price for any football fans or even non-football fans cuz it's really impressive, so go for it if you are in the vicinity. The museum tour will give u a glimpse of the club's history, particularly about the Munich Air disaster, so it's really quite interesting too.
