About Manchester

At once ruggedly industrial and rigorously literary, Manchester is a city that is in all ways dynamic. You’ll come across sports fanatics (Go United!), indie rock bands, street preachers, students, and tons of young professionals who are attracted to the city for its growing opportunities (especially in the tech sector) and its relatively affordable housing. The most linguistically diverse city in all of western Europe, one can snatch snippets of up to 200 languages being spoken here in a single day, and roughly half of the city’s population is multilingual.
