A modern, cosmopolitan city with an exciting night-life and social scene; or a city steeped in fascinating history and with an incredible array of historic sites and beautiful parks? Manchester is both… and more!
The capital of the North has an incredible mix of culture, architecture, music, art, shopping, dining and, of course, colourful characters. Manchester has something to offer everybody, and you can be assured that your stay here will be an extremely pleasurable one.
Manchester also has excellent transport links to many cities across the UK. Its great geographical location means that it is close to several major cities in the UK, such as Leeds, Liverpool, York, Nottingham, Blackpool and Sheffield. The cost of living in Manchester is relatively cheap compared to many other places in the UK. Accommodation is roughly half the cost of that in London and other cities! And of course, you shouldn’t forget that this is the city that gave birth to capitalism and the Industrial Revolution. It has no need to envy any major urban centre in Europe!
So how does a visitor get to know Manchester in all its glory? Why not visit one of the many museums and art galleries; admire Manchester Cathedral’s superb features; walk around historic Castlefield with its canals; attend a host of cultural and musical festivals; enjoy multicultural food in Chinatown or Rusholme; get lost in one of the largest shopping centres in the UK, and much more!
