Manchester has always been pretty eminent in United Kingdom’s popular culture from churning out some of the great acts of Britpop over the last few decades to being home to one of the world’s greatest football clubs, and its status is only going to grow further. With resident Mancunians’ creative and revolutionary spirit and the local government pumping loads of investment into its tourism sector, whatever experience travellers are after – be it culture, sports, shopping or nightlife – they won’t go away from Manchester disappointed. Witness the city’s new groove with a customised Manchester tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours and vouch for yourself her glorious transformation into a dynamo destination.
Home supportManchester played an important part during World War II in which the city and its civilians rallied to support the nation’s soldiers from arms manufacturing, media propaganda to reallocating resources through the likes of voluntary food rationing and an industry workforce majorly supported by women, rare in those times. For a deeper understanding on the industrious spirit of this city, educating yourself with its wartime history is perhaps a good place to start. At Stockport Air Raid Shelters, you can do exactly that as you take in the sights and sounds of Britain’s Home Front, wander around the largest civilian air raid shelter in the country and step back in time to the daily life of 1940s wartime Britain.

Love conquers allAfter seeking out the industrious nature of Manchester, free your mind and discover another iconic personality of Manchester – its revolutionary spirit in which the progressiveness of mankind is seen as a proud emblem of what the city stands for, and there’s no other better places to do so than in one of the most bustling gay villages in Europe. Having been featured in numerous popular television shows such as “Queer As Folk” and “Coronation Street”, Manchester’s Gay Village proudly shows off with bold boutiques, buzzy bars and an electric atmosphere. Stroll through its canal streets, enjoy the unique vibe and relish in the possibility that true love can indeed conquer all.

United in sports
While home to two of the biggest football clubs in the Premier League, it is perhaps Manchester United that has the better decorated trophy cabinet than its city rival, Manchester City. Being at the top of the table for a few decades running, and also for a significant part of English football history in the mid-20th century, and nurturing numerous football legends from the likes of English legend Sir Bobby Charlton, French maverick Eric Cantona, England’s favourite football son David Beckham to Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the world’s best player at the moment, the Red Devils has possibly the greatest fan club in the world of football. Whether you are a fervent fanatic, a recent believer or a sports lover wishing to witness the achievements of one of sport’s greatest institutions, a Manchester United museum tour has to be on the top of your list.
