From the buzzing urban cool of the city centre and its international cultural attractions to the natural beauty of the Pennines and the Peak District; whether you are interested in music and the performing arts, sport and leisure or history and heritage, there is something to suit every lifestyle in Manchester.

As ‘one of the UK’s fastest growing regional cities’ (Centre for Cities: City Space Race 2018) and ‘UK’s Most Entrepreneurial City’ (BusinessCloud 2021), Manchester is also a key centre of commerce in the UK – Manchester is the most visited city in the UK and is home to more than 100,000 students.
