Manchester travel guide

The Manchester Travel Guide from The Great Hotels Organisation is free for all Manchester travellers.

Manchester is a major city and centre for the arts, culture, media and commerce in North England. Having played a crucial role in the industrial revolution in the 19th century it has now become one of the biggest cultural centres in the UK and is often considered to be England's second city.

Mostly known as the home of football giants Manchester United and sister team Manchester City, there is more to Manchester than just football - the redeveloped city centre with its network of canals and mills is a great tourist destination and home to bars, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and more.
