Manchester is the UK’s third most popular tourist city. Once the first industrialised city, it is now a multi-cultural and creative hive. Probably most famous worldwide for its sporting prowess, Manchester played host to the 2002 Commonwealth Games, boasts numerous sporting arenas, and is home to the world’s most famous football team, Manchester United. But equally impressive is its music history, spawning countless numbers of the best British bands since the late 1980s - Oasis, Happy Mondays, New Order, The Stone Roses, and The Smiths to name but a few. Salford Quays is one of the stylishly developing areas of this youthful city. Whether it be enjoying the abundance of some of the most upmarket retailers in Exchange Square, the bohemian nooks and crannies of the Northern Quarter, or the canal side bars and restaurants of the famously documented Canal Street - there truly is somewhere for everyone in this cosmopolitan metropolis.
