The vibrant capital of the north came alive in the new millennium and hasn’t stopped partying since.
Manchester is alive and kicking and it wants the whole world to know.

As you approach the city centre, you’re greeted by classic Victorian mills, neo-Gothic halls and angular contemporary architecture – as shiny and new as the city’s dramatically changing urban skyline. This great success story tells the tale of a city full of dynamo and verve. It boasts ‘must-sees’ by the bucketload and your hardest decision will be deciding where to go first.
