Manchester
ManchesterA must-see cityManchester is the UK’s second city (after London), a title it shares with Birmingham - but is the only UK city to feature in National Geographic’s influential annual ‘Best of the World’ list of the 25 must-see places to visit around the world as well as Lonely Planet’s ‘Best in Travel 2023’.
It was the world’s first industrial city
The canals that course through Manchester are a reminder of the city’s history of textiles and trade. It has a rich transport heritage too: it became home to the first purpose-built canal (in 1761), the first bus service in the UK (in 1824) as well as the first public passenger railway (in 1830).
An unrivalled choice of food, drink & more
There are so many, and so many different types of restaurants, bars and other attractions in Manchester - including the city’s Cathedral, John Rylands Library, Manchester Museum, and the Science and Industry Museum. There’s also an unrivalled calendar of world-class events, festivals and nightlife.
Shopping in Manchester is world-class
The Arndale, Market Street and The Trafford Centre feature every one of your high street favourites. Selfridges in Exchange Square, Harvey Nichols, and King Street are the areas to head to if you want to invest in something designer. Finally, The Northern Quarter features many independents and vintage shops if you want to discover something unique.
