"And on the seventh day God created Manchester" has become something close to a local proverb. And indeed such pride in their Northern Western home is one of the reasons why the "capital of the North" is thriving as a business, arts and media centre.
The World's first Industrial city has an interesting skyline; modern high rise buildings are teamed with the neo gothic styles of 19th century, most evident in the Town Hall. The Arndale and Trafford Centre are two of the UK's biggest shopping malls but if high street fashion isn't to your tastes then the Northern Quarter offers more quirky styles.
A largely cosmopolitan and electric atmosphere is heightened by the student population. Being home to a number of universities, one of which is among the most popular in the country, ensures that choices are eclectic at the least. Cheap curries in Rusholme, the Gay Village, trendy bars, architectural offerings and an amazing nightlife- both locals and visitors can never complain about being bored. Many music icons have grown up in Manchester, not least Oasis so as you might expect music offerings are of top quality; large venues such as the Apollo are complemented by an underground scene. And it just happens to be home to the world's most popular football club. There are certainty a lot of reasons to be proud of what now is arguably the UK's second city.
