My favorite city in England!

The moment you walk into Manchester's bustling city center you can just feel how alive it is!

When other cities, specially in Oz and North America have taken down their old buildings to replace them by new ones, Manchester keeps being more and more inventive on how to use them and keep them in their cultural and architectural heritage.

Old factories dating from the industrial revolution converted into modern car parks or beautyfull and colorfull shopping centers!

Old Churches, too expensive to maintain empty, converted into beautyfull apartments with the entire structure kept for the future generations to enjoy!

Add to this a night life to rival other great cities, tons of restaurants, cafes and bars, loads of sports (including of course MANCHESTER UNITED and the MANCHESTER PHOENIX) and, yes ladies, more shopping than you could ever desire!

Manchester is definitely a city to discover if you haven't been here yet!

    Great to read your personal experiences. Why does Urbis Urban remind you of Amsterdam? You might want to update the external Chinatown link.

    I left my heart in Manchester. I don´t know what I miss more, my boyfriend or Manchester itself. People just don´t give this place enough credit. Forget London, come to Manchester thats what I say!
