Visiting Manchester

Manchester is known by some as the uncrowned Victorian capital of northern England. Although developed in the 19^th Century, the city did not fully spring to life until after its regeneration in the 1970’s and the city centre now throbs with life. Home to Europe’s largest city centre shopping mall, the Arndale,  a Chinatown,  as well as numerous museums and historical monuments, the city is a mishmash of the modern multi-cultural world we live in and tributes to the days that have passed. With 3 huge universities, including the well respected Manchester University, Manchester is popular with both students from the UK, and international students.  The 2 world famous football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City add yet another major attraction for visitors.  Full of performing arts, sports, and leisure and tourism activities, along with a plentiful selection of hotels to suit every budget, the city has something for everyone. Its architecture and attractions make Manchester one of the most visited cities in the UK.
