Mini-Guide To Manchester


Located in the North West of England, Manchester is one of the UK’s major cities, boasting an influence of the history of industry and music, as well as the largest integrated University in Britain.

It is situated quite close to the Pennines and as such Manchester is frequently on the receiving end of rather wet weather. Despite this, however, it has a plethora of attractions, sights, clubs and bars which will cater to all tastes.

Local Airports In Manchester

Manchester is well-connected, with an airport and several train stations which serve a variety of major and minor lines. The outer ring road of the Manchester conurbation is the M60, which can be accessed from Liverpool or Leeds through the M62 and from Scotland and the south of England using the M6. Various intercity bus services can get you there too, and the local bus services are frequent and serve the full area.

Getting about in the city centre can be done easily by foot or using the city’s Metrolink tram service, which is unfortunately somewhat expensive to travel on.

Manchester boasts many areas and attractions, including:

- Chinatown, around George Street and Faulkner Street, is a genuine experience, with signs in both English and Chinese and the residents speaking to each other in Chinese. It also houses many restaurants and shops.

- The Village, around Canal Street, is one of the oldest and most established gay communities in Europe and is a great place to go for bars and clubs, especially as it is renowned for its tolerance towards all people. It also hosts a Pride festival every year.

- Manchester Cathedral, near the Millennium Quarter, is the widest cathedral in England, and beautiful building.

- Manchester Museum, on Oxford Road

- Manchester City FC, in Sportcity

- Manchester United FC, in Old Trafford
