Lonely Planet Manchester City Guide 1.1.3

‘Nobody covers the world like Lonely Planet. -- New York Post

Manchester just may have more to answer for, once you’ve hit town with Lonely Planet’s City Guide on your iPhone. Culturally, this is England’s second city, with a contribution to music, film, comedy and literature that belies its compact size. So if you want to see more than the clubs and pubs of ‘Madchester’, if you want the feel the architectural awe of The Lowry or Libeskind’s Imperial War Museum, pay homage to Man United at Old Trafford, or delight in the diversity of the Manchester International Festival, this is the guide for you. Nice one!
