More about Manchester

World famed for its football teams and club rivalry Manchester certainly is the place to be if it’s the intense thrill of competition you seek from the most popular sport on the planet! Old Trafford, which is quite rightly called the ‘theatre of dreams’, is one of the most recognised football grounds in the world and has brought big names such as George Best and David Beckham to their celebrity status!

One of the most colourful and vibrant areas of the city, China Town provides a place where visitors can admire the imaginatively decorated Chinese Archway or take in the stunning ornamental garden with its jasmine, maples and junipers. Open all year round, there is a lot of fun that can be had in this part of the city.

In the height of summer a stroll along the Rochdale Canal towards Castlefield will take you through the Urban Heritage Park. With an abundance of places to eat and drink along the way this route will take you past the oldest railway station in the world and reconstruction of the original Roman Fort.

Entry into the Museum and Industry in the nearby Castlefield is free for everyone and also a great deal of fun for inquisitive minds of all ages. Take your pick from enthralling galleries and blockbuster exhibits including the brand-new Xperiment, giving you the chance to get hands-on and interactive.

The demand for 24 – 7 living is greater than ever and Manchester is certainly a city to cater for the needs of everyone. 2007 has seen a growing number of late night bars and clubs opening throughout the night and into the early hour. Whether it’s dancing the night away at Jilly’s Rock World or trying out your poker face at one of the city centre casinos, there is are few reasons for you to go to bed before the sun comes up!
