About Manchester
Manchester is often considered England’s second city. Home to two famous football teams, the city is also a major cultural centre with the recently revamped Whitworth Art Gallery and Imperial War Museum North just two must see institutions. The Northern Quarter is home to many of the city’s best bars, restaurants and live music venues. Manchester has also been the birthplace of countless bands from Oasis to the Stone Roses and Mancunians are most definitely party people.
