Manchester voted world’s 15th best city
Picture the world’s greatest cities and what springs to mind first? London? Paris? Hong Kong? New York? Tokyo? Well, according to the 34,000 city dwellers interviewed by Time Out, Manchester now ranks up there with the best. The city came in 15th in Time Out’s list of the 48 best cities on the planet.
While New York, Melbourne, Chicago and London topped the list (in that order), Manchester proudly took the 15th spot, beating the likes of Buenos Aires and Barcelona thanks to its outstanding cultural attractions and “legendary (and growing) bar and club scene.”
While Manchester’s nightlife was one of the aspects highlighted, the city’s art galleries, museums, sporting prowess, gastronomic scene and retail offering all came into play in the ranking.
For those with a focus on property investment UK opportunities, Manchester has even more to offer. The city is an established haven for property investors looking for solid yields and plenty of potential for capital growth. According to Hometrack, it is one of only two cities to have achieved price growth of 17% since the Brexit referendum in June 2016 (the other being Leicester).
