The City

Manchester is an exciting, cosmopolitan city with cultural amenities and attractions to suit every lifestyle. The city itself has a diverse, multi-cultural population and is also home to one of the largest student populations in the UK.

Manchester city centre comprises several areas, each with their own distinct history and atmosphere. Manchester’s position as the first industrial city is evident in its famous Victorian buildings and monuments, such as the Town Hall in Albert Square and the Central Library. Over the last few years the city centre has been reshaped. New public spaces have been created, and imaginative buildings and developments have appeared, transforming Manchester's skyline.
