Culturally, this is England’s second city, with a contribution to music, film, comedy and literature that belies its compact size. So if you want to see more than the clubs and pubs of ‘Madchester’, if you want the feel the architectural awe of The Lowry or Libeskind’s Imperial War Museum, pay homage to Man United at Old Trafford, or delight in the diversity of the Manchester International Festival, this is the guide for you. Nice one!
