ENGLAND - Manchester

Overview
OK, i’m going to keep this review short as i don’t really enjoy Manchester. Located in the North West of England, Manchester has many claims to fame, it is widely acknowledged as being one of the first industrial power bases due to manufacturing in the city. More recently and over the 20 years in particular, it has been successfully transformed by regeneration into the shining metropolis it is today.

Highlights
The Lowry gallery

The Imperial War Museum North

Manchester United football club

Theatres

Bars

Accommodation and Shopping
Excellent choice of accommodation in and around the city to suit all but they can be very pricey and not value for money, and shoppers wont be disappointed as many of the leading high street brand names are represented in the city centre.

Food and Dining
Diners wont be short of options as there’s a wide range of international cuisines to choose from.

Best Way To Get Around:
Manchester has an excellent integrated transport network, which includes the Metrolink tram system which services Manchester airport, the city centre and the local boroughs.
