If you're city-hopping through England, love Oasis, or live and breathe all things football, we suggest adding Manchester to your bucket list, stat. Nestled into the country's northwest, Manchester holidays are like the pub roast of English city breaks, offering everything you need to leave 100% satisfied. Gothic architecture, libraries, museums and art galleries act like perfectly-cooked roast potatoes and carrots, offering plenty of nutrients to all those who partake. What is the meat? Why the city's thriving nightlife, entertainment and cultural precincts, of course - full of juicy memories and experiences for every palette. No roast meal is complete without gravy, just like no trip to Manchester is complete without yelling GOALLLL at a football game. Eating your greens is important, so let a trip to Manchester Piccadilly act as your serving of peas. Finally, just as a Yorkshire Pudding is the backbone of any authentic roast meal, let Manchester serve as the perfect gateway to your exploration of the English countryside, Lake and Peak Districts and cities further afar.
