Overview
Why Manchester?
"Manchester's got everything except a beach." Singer Ian Brown,
The Stone Roses.
Manchester, often dubbed the Capital of the North, is one of the
most dynamic and lively places in Europe. A big city with a compact
and friendly centre.
Manchester was at the epicentre of the industrial revolution, and
the spirit that brought the world into the modern age is evident in
surrounding architecture - such as the gothic Town Hall in Albert
Square. Over the last few years an extensive regeneration project
has resulted in a new shape to Manchester's skyline - notably the
Hilton Beetham Tower.
Manchester also boasts two of the biggest football clubs in the
world; Manchester United and Manchester City. The later can
be found within 3 miles of Manchester Piccadilly train station.
Being the major hub of the North combined with continued public
investment, transport links in and around Manchester are second to
none. Along with regular bus, coach and tram services,
Manchester boasts four large train stations all within the city
centre. Piccadilly Train Station is the main central train hub for
the North offering regular train services from the centre of
Manchester to London, Scotland, Central England, the North East and
most UK coastal towns.
