A study has revealed that Manchester is the second most expensive city for a holiday in the UK, the day before the compulsory new tourism tax was introduced for anyone staying in the city.
With a price tag of almost £1,000, Manchester is only narrowly behind London in the list if chosen as the destination for a weekend break.
The cost of the two-night UK holidays were analysed, including the average cost of accommodation, local transport, food and drink and leisure activities across cities in the UK.
