Manchester is one of Britains most vibrant and distinctive cities and one with attitude. Home of the legendary Hacienda club and acid house, a city that has given us the Smiths, the Fall and the Stone Roses and a city that can raise two fingers to London and say, "We do it our way up here". Oh, and you may have heard of Manchester United?
The city has certainly turned around the classic image of northern cities being dour, dank places with weekends spent huddled under flat caps watching whippet racing and ferretting. With the redevelopment of many of its inner city areas such as Salford Quays into hip urban zones with bars, cafes and clubs Manchester has placed its feet squarely on the international stage.
It's not just music and football - Manchester has some of the best museums, galleries and theatre in the country. Whatever you're looking for - art and culture, shopping or cutting edge music, Manchester is a city with attitude and one of the Britain's greatest cities.Photos
