About Manchester, Guide and Top Tourist Attractions
(Manchester, Lancashire, England)



Manchester is located in Northern England, in a recessed area surrounded by the Pennine Moors at the north and east and the Cheshire Plain at the south. From the inner city, one can get a splendid view of the moors from the many tall buildings in the area, and many of the Victorian structures in the city centre are picturesque by themselves. This makes Manchester a favourite among tourists, along with London and Birmingham.

Manchester enjoys a thriving economy, thanks mostly to its convenient location near a number of coal reserves and a seaport at Liverpool. It is rapidly gaining a reputation as a prime European Business Centre, with increasing numbers of businesses attracted to the city every year.

If you prefer a more relaxing experience, Manchester's art galleries may be more to your tastes. Manchester is as much a cultural centre as it is a nightlife hub, with several art galleries and stunning architecture around every corner.
