Manchester has been named one of the best cities in the UK, by readers of Condé Nast Traveller. The magazine's annual Readers' Choice Awards look for the best hotels, resorts, cities, countries, islands, transport lines and more - against a set criteria.
Over 240,000 readers submitted their vote, revealing their favourite spots across the world. Cambridge scooped the top spot, followed by Glasgow in second.
Dropping in the ranking was London, which came third. While Manchester did place, it might come as a surprise to some that it only ranked in sixth - tailing after Edinburgh in fourth and Cardiff in fifth.
