Manchester has reinvented itself from a former industrial city to a city of arts and culture. It is now the second most visited city in the UK and has a range of interesting and exciting cultural activities. It is also home to two of Britain’s most successful football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.

Did you know? Manchester was named “Cotonopolis” in the past as it was at the centre of cotton production in the 19th century. Most of the old cotton mills have been converted into apartments and entertainment complexes.
