Finishing as the highest English city in the poll, Manchester was commended for its "ever-welcoming landscape of restaurants, bars" and its "top-notch culture". But, not everybody was in agreement with the verdict.
Responding to the MEN's story on the result, one commenter said: " It's great but not that great. Not until affordable housing, affordable public transport, green spaces, pollution control and real equality are instigated."
Another person also added: "I’m from Manchester and whilst I love being a Manc...there’s much wrong with our city. It’s very dirty. Litter everywhere. Needs a good clean and to look like it’s 'loved'."
However, there were some less downbeat views on the Capital of the North, with one reader commenting: " What makes Manchester so special most of the people genuine friendly people I'm from Manchester and very proud."
Someone else added: " Amazing city with awesome friendly people."
