Destination
Manchester

Stone Roses frontman, Ian Brown once said "Manchester has everything except a beach”.

Despite the lack of sand, Manchester is the second most visited city in England. Home to famous sporting teams, amazing bands and with a fantastic nightlife, Manchester has always been a place to see and be seen. With designer shops, historical museums and a wide range of entertainment venues, there is always something to do.

Credited as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester has a vibrant heritage innovation and achievement, making it an inspirational location. As well as the historical reasons for visiting Manchester, the city is a smart logistical choice, having all the benefits of London - but without the Capital's price tag.

A city of firsts (the first passenger railway, the first computer and the birthplace of vegetarianism) Manchester has a rich history. It is not all about history however, Manchester is on the cutting edge of culture.
In recent years Manchester venues have been the host for some of the biggest musical artists in the world, the theatres have hosted runs of top stage shows, and just this year Manchester was a host city for the Cricket World Cup.

Popular destinations in the city are The Northern Quarter, a quirky hub of trendy, independent restaurants and bars, or for those seeking the more luxurious side of town, the steel and glass high-rises of Spinningfields are the place to be!
The City centre is compact, easily navigated on foot and has an extensive public transport system. Three train stations and a large international airport, all provide access for both national and international visitors.
