The city of Manchester delivers the goods right across the cultural spectrum, with theatres, art galleries and museums and the world class Bridgewater Hall, home of the Halle orchestra. There's a wide choice of restaurants and bars, clubs and music pubs. As part of its preparation for the hosting of the Commonwealth Games the city created a range of sports facilities that are the envy of Europe and have turned it into a sporting Mecca- for both fans and athletes.As you'd expect from a city of its size, Manchester has a huge choice of places to shop. A ten minute walk brings you to the city centre. The Victorian viaduct that borders the Green Building on one side has an eclectic selection of small shops and cafés. A Sainsbury's Local on the north side of Whitworth Street and a mini-mart within the Village provide a base for daily essentials.
