about the destination - manchester
Manchester, in
England’s North Country, is one of
Britain’s coolest cities. This once industrial city has reinvented itself as a contemporary metropolis, with modern landmark buildings such as the Lowry Centre, a thriving art and culture scene, and world-class sport - its home to the world famous Manchester United Football Club. It’s often cited as the world’s first industrialized city, and elements of Manchester’s industrial past can be found as you travel throughout the city. It’s this mix of old and new that gives Manchester its unique character.
