With channels downtown, revamped industrial areas and national parks on its outskirts, this is what Manchester is made of. From the shopping malls of Manchester central and the famous outdoor and indoor markets, theatres, sports grounds and museums, one visit is not enough to take everything in. Some impressive buildings, such as the Free Trade Hall, the neo-Gothic Town Hall and the dizzying 47 floor Beetham Tower, can be seen by taking a stroll in the city centre, while greater Manchester has some charming parks to display, such as Chorlton Water Park.
And with numerous flights to its international airport and approximately 2 hours by train from London, Manchester is readily accessible.
