Some say it’s the real capital of England but it’s not even second city. Manchester is vibrant, cool and modern. It is historical and traditional. Music and sport are woven in to it’s very soul. Familiar but brand new, neighbourly but dangerous. Proud but embarrassing, Red but Blue.

Manchester is an extremely large city with many towns within in. The city centre, has multiple museums, galleries and cultural sites. Cobbled streets are lined with high street shops, in which many treasures can be found. Northern Quarter, which as its name suggests is within the north of the city centre, is one of my favourite areas of the city centre and offers many eclectic boutiques such as Afflecks Palace – a six storied building filled to the brim with unique finds from retro wrestling figures to custom made leather and lace gowns.

Be aware of the transport system as it can be terribly confusing for newcomers. Manchester is famous for its culture of football-lovers and matches can delay the transport to an abhorrent degree. In spite of this; Manchester is home to fabulous clubs and general nightlife and engaging and friendly people.

Manchester is often cited as the birthplace of the industrial revolution. It is a multicultural city with a large student population. The local accent is more pronounced in the north of the city, but is not too strong. It had a proud sporting tradition, with two Premier League football teams.

If you moved to my city, it is important to know Manchester is far more than just football and ship canals. Manchester is a city with a unique culture and the people there have their own particular outlook on life. You should go to the art gallery which is next to Chinatown and try a Manchester Tart in the cafe.
