"Manchester has everything except a beach" proclaimed the Stone Roses frontman and Manchester icon, Ian Brown, and the city (which some say is the nation's second capital, such is its historical importance to the world) has something for everyone, regardless of their tastes or interests. Manchester is well-known for its cultural contribution, notably through music, the arts and or course, sport.
From the tours of Manchester United's world-famous Old Trafford football stadium, which is well worth a visit, particularly if you can secure a ticket for a game, and if you cross the city's football divide to Manchester's second team, Manchester City, who are housed in the City of Manchester Stadium, you can also enjoy hospitality and premier league football - just in case red isn't quite your preferred colour.
Manchester has many museums offering insight into local, national and indeed world history, from the science and industry museum, the national history museum (part of the University of Manchester university), to the people's history museum. The Imperial War Museum North is aptly situated on the banks of Manchester's Ship Canal - a prime target for the Luftwaffe during both world wars, because of the industrial importance of Manchester.
There are always events being hosted in the city, too. Currently, Manchester has the largest outdoor German Christmas Market in the Country, which attracts over three million visitors (and the rest) each year, and you can find live music, opera, ballet and plays at the city's world class venues such as the Opera House, the Lowry theatre and the city's many, many other venues.
Set aside from the typically 'touristy' elements of Manchester, the city is well-worth walking around, if your have the time, to take in the sights. There is the imposing gothic town hall, the city's shops, and then there is the bars and restaurants of the city's northern quarter. The city's nightlife was birthed on the music scene of 'Madchester', and you will be able to find something for everybody in Manchester. We may not have a beach, but you won't need one!
