Since Victorian times Manchester has been a popular destination for tourists and holiday-makers, and with regular buses to Manchester from all over the country, it's never been easier to get to this glorious city.
Take a walk, admire the view
All of Manchester's attractions are within easy reach of each other, which means that the best way to get around the city centre is usually on foot. Take a stroll through one of the city's vibrant villages, each of which has its own distinct character, and admire the awe-inspiring 18th century architecture, cheek by jowl with Manchester's mediaeval cathedral and modern skyscrapers like the Beetham Tower, which is the tallest residential building in the UK.
Or if you're in the mood for something a little more energetic, take a Manchester bus out to Old Trafford, England's largest football stadium after Wembley, and home to the world-famous Manchester United Football Club. Visitors can take a guided tour of the stadium, learn about the history of football in the museum, and buy tickets for matches. Manchester buses will also take you to Manchester Velodrome, home of British Cycling, where you can hobnob with Olympic champions - or even have a go on the track!
History comes to life
Take the bus to Manchester and discover one of Europe's finest cultural capitals. The city boasts an enviable range of galleries and museums, including these top five cultural hotspots:
