Energetic, diverse and individual, Manchester is a city with true character

Manchster

First finding global fame as the heart of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester has a proud history in science, politics, music, arts, and sport.

This is the city where the atom was first split, where the world’s first passenger railway was opened, and where the modern computer was invented.

It’s where bands like The Smiths, Oasis, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses were inspired to write music that moved the world.

It’s the birthplace of modern vegetarianism, atomic theory, women’s suffrage, and thermodynamics.

It’s where Emmeline Pankhurst, Alan Turing, LS Lowry, and Anthony Burgess all called home.

Exploring Manchester city centre, you’ll find it packed not only with remnants of this history but also with unique and independent restaurants, bars, shops, museums, galleries, and hotels, all gathered in neighbourhoods with their own distinct personalities.

Beyond Manchester, the surrounding nine boroughs of Greater Manchester offer some entirely different experiences including charming market towns, traditional country pubs, and beautiful green spaces and waterways.

All this doesn’t scratch the surface of the modern Manchester experience. This city is what you make of it, so get out there, explore, and find the Manchester that speaks to you.
