Going to England for the first time soon, tell me places to check out and every other advice given is appreciated. I go to Manchester, but will try to visit London, too. 8 days I will be staying in the country.
Hailing from Finland, never been in middle-Europe or England before.
Manchester!!! Tell me where to go & what to see!

Soul Monsta'll put you right, but I remember the first time I stayed up there at an exhibition with my team. I asked one of the local girls helping out on the stand where to go for food that night. She suggested Chinatown and if it's still as good as it was years ago, I'd recommend it highly. Knocked the spots off Soho in London.

Just a few recomendations
Manchester museum of science and technolagy.
Granada studios tour .
as suggested China Town but beware very expensive
Old Traford vist MU ground and Old Trafford cricket ground
You are only a hours drive from the Pennines some of the most beautifull country side the Uk has to offer
Night Time
There are masses of good night clubs for all tastes and styles of music
The Gay village the best music, best atmosphere, best place for all the tidy chicks
dont let the Gay part put you off you wont get chatted up by any blokes its the safest place in town to enjoy manchester nightlife
also Castlefield basin rub shoulders with Manchesters celebraties (expensive but ok )
Since the bombing Manchester has turned into one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Uk and has a host things to see and do last time i was home i didnt know the palce
Its's Massive our Kid but cold

England is not in Central Europe so make sure that if you want to visit Manchester that you travel to the England that is in Western Europe.
I have spent many years in England and in my opinion Manchester is the third best of the large cities after London and Newcastle.
There is plenty to see and do and trhe surrounding area as Dave says is excellent. Try the Penines to the East and the Lake District further North. Lancaster is also a nice old city worth a visit and there are a few half decent seaside resorts.
On the downside it's pissing down with rain most of the time and the beer is not as good as you can get in the South and in Wales but it is significantly cheaper. They all seem to like it with a load of creamy froth on the top and it often comes from a keg rather than a barrel.
The local Doris ain't bad either and you can pull easily although sometime you have to fork out on a couple of Vodkas first.. It is a bit difficult to undertstand what they say but who cares anyway.
BTW you can get gravy or curry sauce with your chips.

Manchester is a mere hamlet compared to the bright lights and vibrant diversity of the metropolis of Abertridwr.
