Culture and heritage. Manchester is now a thriving metropolis, but it’s not hard to spot Manchester’s past. Central Library, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, is the largest municipal library in the world; and the magnificent Royal Exchange Theatre, formerly the Cotton Exchange, now houses the world’s largest theatre-in-the-round.

Attractions
The city’s attractions – from the museums and galleries, to sports stadiums and music venues – offer something for everyone. Most of Manchester’s 90 or so museums are free, including the galleries at the world-famous Lowry Centre. If you don’t know where to start exploring Manchester, try an open bus tour from St Peter’s Square.
