About Manchester
Located in northwest England, Manchester is often referred to as England's "second city" (after London). In the 1800's, the city was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution and, for a while, suffered from post-industrial squalor. In recent years, however, the rejuvenated city has made great strides in the arts, education and technology. As testament to this rebirth, Manchester was chosen to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Visitors to the city will find a varied cultural scene - with many theaters, galleries, nightclubs and sporting events - plus a number of interesting sights. The Visitor Center is located at Town Hall in historic St. Peter's Square. Other points of interest include Barton Arcade, the festive Boardwalk area, Piccadilly Gardens, Granada Studio, and the Museum of Science and Industry. For a break, grab a Boddingtons Cream Ale, the pride of Manchester since 1778.

Without question, Manchester's most popular tourist spot is Granada Studios, which conducts some 750,000 tours each year. Visitors can walk around the 3.5-acre site and check out the sets of various television shows, such as Sherlock Holmes and Rovers Return. Tours last roughly 90 minutes.
