MANCHESTER - ENGLAND
(Friendship City)
Manchester lies within one of the UK's largest metropolitan areas. The city emerged during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century as a leading textile manufacturer.
Following the terrorist bombings of 1996, the city rebuilt itself as a leading center of arts, modernist architecture, media, higher education, and commerce. Manchester is the third most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors, and the most visited in England outside London.
