Located in the south-central region of North West England, about two hours north of London by train, Manchester is a vibrant, youthful city with a rich cultural scene. The birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester’s landscape boasts a stunning contrast between modern high-rises and older Victorian structures. With its expansive selection of fascinating museums and chic bars and boutiques, Manchester offers a taste of urban life at its finest, away from the tourist-ridden streets of London. 
Hop on the outstanding Metrolink tram for easy access to any of Manchester’s famous attractions such as the historic museums of Salford Quays, the trendy retail center at Millennium Quarter, or the unique shops and hip cafés of the bohemian Northern Quarter. Home of the renowned Manchester United football team, Manchester has earned its reputation as a city of sport. As a transportation hub, Manchester is a gateway to the UK and the rest of Europe and is within easy reach of the Lake District and the Peak District, some of the UK’s most beautiful national parks.
