Located off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe, the United Kingdom (UK) blends historic attractions with modern allure. Comprising of four distinct countries - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it's known for its exceptional landmarks and unique festivities. The UK is home to the Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, and the famous Big Ben, a clock tower in London. From the enchanting castles of Scotland and the lush landscapes of Northern Ireland to the picturesque coast of Wales and vibrant cultural scene in England, the UK never fails to mesmerize its visitors. It is also acclaimed for its influential contributions to literature, music, and science.

Chester, a city in the northwest of England, near the Welsh border, remains one of the country's oldest towns, steeped in rich history and architecture. Known for its beautifully preserved ancient Roman walls, the longest and most complete in the United Kingdom, Chester offers an intriguing journey into Britain's past. Yet, beyond the historical, visitors can find a city vibrant with modern pleasures such as Chester Zoo, one of the largest zoos in the country housing over 21,000 endangered and exotic animals, and Chester Rows, a network of shopping streets unique with two-tiered galleries. Luxurious Tudor-style half-timber houses, historical landmarks like the Roman Amphitheatre, and the striking medieval cathedral further enhance Chester's allure, making it an irresistible destination for history buffs and travel lovers alike.

Chester

I feel safe in general as Chester is a really peaceful, chill and lovely city right near Manchester (in an hour train distance)

I definitely recommend some spots to visit as follow:
The Cathedral (sorry for not quoting the full name as I am writing this now without a note by my side, please find my photo helps!) 

The cathedral is a classic example of how the architecture of the traditional cathedral as many first-time visitors may feel surprise and stunning of. 

In terms of of budget, many spots are free for visiting, including the Cathedral.

I just bought some beverage in Tesco there, so I can’t recommend any local restaurants.

I really liked Chester. They have a fantastic zoo there and plenty to do in a small, pedestrian-friendly city. Lots of history as well. The train from Manchester, which took about an hour, stopped at the station in Chester, which is located right in the city center, making it easy to get around. I spent 3 days there and had plenty to do.
