About Manchester
Manchester, England is a bold and irrepressibly vital city situated in the northwest of England at the foothills of the Pennines, approximately 320 kilometres northwest of London and 55 kilometres east of Liverpool, and is the third-largest city in the United Kingdom and the undisputed capital of the north of England — a city that invented the modern industrial world, gave birth to some of the most influential political movements, scientific discoveries, and musical revolutions in modern history, and has built on that extraordinary legacy a contemporary culture of such energy, ambition, and creative output that it stands as one of the most exciting and consequential cities in Europe, a place whose influence on global culture is wildly disproportionate to its size and whose civic pride is as fierce and as justified as any city in Britain.
Manchester's claim to have been the cradle of the Industrial Revolution is well founded — the city's cotton mills, canals, and railways transformed the global economy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the political and intellectual responses to industrialization that emerged from Manchester were equally world-shaping. The Manchester Anti-Corn Law League pioneered the free trade movement that reshaped global commerce, Friedrich Engels observed the conditions of the Manchester working class that inspired The Communist Manifesto, and the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 — when cavalry charged a crowd of 60,000 peaceful reform demonstrators in St. Peter's Field, killing 18 and injuring hundreds — was a defining moment in the history of British democracy whose legacy is powerfully commemorated at the Peterloo Memorial in the city centre. The Science and Industry Museum, occupying the site of the world's first inter-city railway station, is one of the finest industrial heritage museums in the world.
Manchester's musical legacy is one of the most extraordinary of any city on earth — the Haçienda nightclub and Factory Records defined the post-punk and Madchester movements of the 1980s and early 1990s, producing Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, Oasis, and The Stone Roses in a concentration of musical genius that transformed global popular culture and gave Manchester a musical identity of permanent and worldwide resonance. Old Trafford, home of Manchester United and one of the most famous and visited football stadiums in the world, and the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City, make the city the undisputed capital of English football in terms of global reach and trophy accumulation, while the National Football Museum in the city centre is the finest museum of the world's most popular sport.
Top attractions include the outstanding Manchester Art Gallery with its exceptional Pre-Raphaelite collection, the Whitworth gallery housing a magnificent collection of textiles, prints, and modern art in a beautifully expanded Victorian building in Whitworth Park, the stunning John Rylands Research Library — one of the most beautiful neo-Gothic buildings in Britain, housing an outstanding collection of rare books and manuscripts — the vibrant Northern Quarter arts and independent culture district, the magnificent Manchester Cathedral, and the MediaCityUK development at Salford Quays where the BBC and ITV have relocated major operations in a transformation of the former docklands into a thriving creative and media hub.
With its world-shaping industrial heritage, extraordinary musical legacy, passionate football culture, outstanding art galleries, fierce northern pride, and a creative energy and civic ambition that make it the most exciting city in England outside London, Manchester is a northwest England city of incomparable vitality and enduring global influence.
Its airport code is MAN (Manchester Airport).
