About Manchester
Manchester turned the dark mills of the industrial revolution into a city that gave the world both modern football and decades of guitar bands.
Red-brick warehouses now hold bars and galleries, and the indie Northern Quarter is all murals, record shops and coffee. Two of the planet's biggest football clubs call the city home, and match day belongs entirely to them.
The weather is famously wet and the humour famously dry, with a chip on the shoulder worn proudly as a badge.
Eat a chippy tea, drink in a Northern Quarter pub, and argue about which band mattered most.
