The city, where the first railway was created and the textile industry flourished, is a cultural hub with seemingly unlimited possibilities. Young people who continue to rush to live and work in Manchester during the last decade swear by it.

The northern English town was bombed during Christmas in 1940 and afterwards was reborn. It was damaged by the IRA in 1996, and again rose from the ashes and has come a long way to develop into a multicultural city of arts and technology, fashion and music, famed for its diversity and everything innovative, a city of the alternative and «what’s hot».

With 16th century cathedrals, medieval and industrial architecture, a colorful Chinatown, various galleries and music venues, fabulous libraries and football stadiums, Manchester United and Manchester City… the city is all this and so much more. It’s a city that’s so that it’s hard to describe without experiencing it for yourself.
