Manchester, England
Manchester is a destination with appeal for a wide variety of interests. It has something for scientists, for nature-lovers, for history buffs or for shopping with a distinct flair. Manchester is known for its textile manufacturing history during the Industrial Revolution. The great majority of cotton spinning took place there and for a time it was the most productive center of cotton processing and ultimately the world’s largest marketplace for cotton goods. Australia and New Zealand still use the term “manchester” for household linen. Many of those mills remain as they were left upon closure while others have been renovated into modern apartments. Award-winning Heaton Park in the north of the city is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe covering 610 acres. The city has 135 parks, gardens and open spaces.
There are a multitude of hotel options in the city. There is something to meet every financial, cultural and historical need. VoomaGo has worked with our network of Locals and partnered with a few vetted accommodations and options. When we’re building your trip with you, we can discuss the availability and right fit for your needs.
Manchester is a city that truly offers something for everybody. The marks of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism are still very prominent and a testimony to its role in pioneering significant developments during the Industrial Age, so don’t miss MOSI (Museum Of Science and Industry.
To appreciate the contrast of old and modern architecture it is strongly recommended that you walk in Spinninfields, The Printworks and Castlefield, there you will appreciate great historical landmarks, fun pubs and cafes along the canals, parks, stunning architecture and a great vibe.
