Manchester has long been known as being England’s “Second City”, a multicultural and creative hive and one of the coolest, most exciting places in Britain to live and work. It’s also the third-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors, after London and Edinburgh, and the most visited in England outside London. And it is plain to see why, but where should we start…? Manchester is a ‘shoppers dream’, with all the high street brands and eminent designer shops a person could desire, contrasted with treasure troves of vintage shops and independent boutiques. There is a wealth of internationally acclaimed theatres, art galleries and museums. People come from all over the UK to experience Manchester’s seasonal markets and its annual International festivals bursting with entertainment and culture or just a chilled hangout for a few drinks and a bite to eat. After hours is when the city really comes alive. Whether you want to kick back in a cool, independent bar, relax in a host of cosy real ale pubs, enjoy the canal side bars and restaurants of the famously documented Canal Street or turn up the tempo at one of Manchester’s coveted clubs and music venues, it is all here for the taking in Manchester. There is somewhere for everyone in this cosmopolitan city.
