Ask a visitor what they know about Manchester and more often than not it will be about that most famous of football teams, Manchester United. Their home ground, Old Trafford, is a place of football legend and worth a visit, even for those not into football. Moving on we find several areas with a distinctive foreign flavour, like Chinatown and the Curry Mile, with Chinese and Indian influences attesting to the city’s long history of welcoming those from overseas. Originally a Roman settlement, Manchester’s ancient origins are on display at Castlefield where Roman ruins transition into Medieval walls. Manchester’s cathedral is a beautiful example, well preserved and right in the heart of the city. Several canals weave through the city, providing an interface between the land and sea along with pretty places to relax and peoplewatch. For further relaxation, head to Piccadilly Gardens and pick a spot on the green with the locals and watch the day go by.
