What to do in
Manchester ?

With the exception of London, no other British city is as lively as Manchester. Nicknamed Cottonopolis during the Industrial Revolution, Manchester was able to reinvent itself and continues to be one of the driving forces of the British economy. But that’s not all it contributes to the realm of Elisabeth II. Great shopping, a dynamic student population, and home to several of the biggest names in British rock as well as Eric Cantona, Manchester today is one of the best destinations out there for discovering 21st century England.

Manchester, a weekend of rock or pop
See more See less

Two numbers sum up what makes Manchester the perfect weekend getaway for those looking to party: 500 and 100,000. That’s 500 bars, pubs, and nightclubs around the city, and 100,000 fellow night owls. A getaway with friends accompanied by rock, electro, and pop - the chosen music of the city and its 70,000 students. Home to several of the greatest British bands, from New Order to Simply Red, Oasis to The Smiths, this music-loving city keeps the myth of “Madchester” alive in the many clubs of the Northern Quarter.
But for Manchester locals and visitors, pop culture isn’t limited to guitar riffs and screaming synthesizers. It can also be found in the city’s museums, its Roman ruins, ancient textiles, fascinating machines, and countless works of art, all of which tell the story of the city. An incredible journey through time, full of fun and discovery, to be shared with that special someone or the whole family.
