Tour description

Art, culture, music, football and industry… discover the rich cultural heritage of Manchester, from the Roman era to the avant-garde present.

we’ll meet outside the Manchester Central Library next to the telephone booths, to begin our free tour of Manchester, the city where the industrial revolution was born.
 
 We’ll start walking around St. Peter Square to get to know the history that surrounds this city, the characters that inhabited it and the events that took place there. Do you know what the symbol of the city is? You’ll have to go there to discover it! As well the woman that changed the world.
 
 One of our first stops will be in one of the most important buildings in Manchester, the Free Trade Hall, the protagonist of the Peterloo massacre, and where the current democratic system with political parties emerged. Here, we’ll also find out about the cultural revival, the importance of music and how Manchester became a pioneer for LGTBQ+.
 
 
 From here we’ll go into the commercial district and stop to admire the majestic building that is the Royal Exchange, where you’ll discover the importance that Manchester had during the 19th century. 
 
 To finish the tour, when we arrive at the Cathedral after a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes, the guide will give you some recommendations to organise your stay in the city.
