Manchester Pocket Guide Preview

Widely regarded as the North of England's capital, Manchester is one of Britain's most visited cities. And it's not hard to see why. Not only does Manchester boast an incredibly rich musical history and a thriving music scene, it's also one of the top UK cities in terms of shopping. You're never far from the nearest mall or shop-lined street. Sports fanatics will be in their element too, as this city is home to the wildly popular Manchester United soccer club. It's not all about bands, balls and bags of shopping though. Here you'll also find a large number of fascinating (and often free) museums and art galleries. It's a great city for just strolling around too, with many of the main attractions well-signposted and easily accessible on foot. If you get tired, there's a great public transport system to take advantage of. All in all, a friendly city that's definitely worth a visit.
