Manchester Overview By Rachel Newcombe  The busy metropolitan city of Manchester is the third largest city in England (after London and Birmingham) and can be found in the northwest. The city has good transport links, with regular flights, trains and buses operating in the area. Within the city, it’s easy to explore by foot, or use buses or Metrolink trams to get from one area to another.
Manchester was a key part of the industrial revolution and you can discover more about life during this time at the People’s History Museum. Over the years various famous people have lived here, including the painter Lowry, and as you explore the city look out for the blue plaques commemorating their life or work.
Several excellent examples of historic buildings can be found in the centre of the city. The cathedral is open to visitors and features fine examples of medieval carving, as well as a complete wall of twentieth century stained glass designed by artist Anthony Hollaway.
The John Rylands University Library has free exhibitions and is built in traditional gothic style and the three floors of the historic Royal Exchange, which used to be the heart of the cotton trade, have been transformed into shops, galleries and restaurants. For a very different museum experience, a visit to the interactive Urbis is a must.
As you’d expect from a city this size, there’s an excellent choice of restaurants, bars and nightlife here – one pub worth a visit is the Old Wellington Inn and Restaurant, which dates back to 1522 - plus numerous galleries, music options and theatres. Go!
