Manchester’s history stretches back to the Romans, who established a colonial outpost here in 79AD, but the city rose to real prominence during the late 18th century. During the Industrial Revolution, steam-powered spinning machines transformed Manchester’s fortunes, and the canals and railways set the seal on its unstoppable rise to fame and fortune. Many of the grand buildings in the city centre date from those times, and although the old industries have been swept away, modern Manchester has transformed into a great European capital. The nightlife is legendary, and there are many restaurants and shopping malls as well as great museums here.

Home to one of the most famous football teams in the world, Manchester is the powerhouse of the north of England, and an up-and-coming communication and broadcasting hub that is now also home to BBC. Fly to Manchester with Qatar Airways and you’ll have the chance to explore this thriving city and all it has to offer.
Manchester is well known for its lively entertainment, music and theatre scene, but just a few miles from its busy centre is some of England’s most beautiful countryside, including the Wirral, the Lake District and the Peak District.

Tourist attractions
The Museum of Science and Industry and the waterways of the Manchester Ship Canal give you a fascinating glimpse into the city’s past as the epicentre of the Industrial Revolution.
