Manchester is a big city in the northwest of England with an abundant industrial history. Also known as "The Capital of the North," Manchester influenced a lot on the histories of industry and music, as well as its sporting gains. It is viewed by many as the 'second city' of the United Kingdom and is home to the UK's largest airport after London. Manchester has outstanding opportunities and almost limitless potential. It has moved from an era of textiles to one of the high technologies and one of the best higher educations. The city has evolved dramatically in the last 20 years and now has a cosmopolitan and vibrant air. The city has a very unique location and can be perfectly used as a base for exploring northern England and North Wales, with excellent adventure opportunities and excellent road links. Beside the image of being very wet, the number of rainy days in Manchester are less than the UK average.
