Manchester City Centre
In the city centre
Amid the welcoming bustle of the city centre, Piccadilly Gardens is a green space with a difference. Redesigned by a Japanese architect, these 21st-century gardens are cool, modernistic and controversial. Take a bird’s-eye view from the Manchester Wheel, then steady the vertigo with a real ale at the KRO Bar.

Didsbury
4.2 miles from city centre
The streets of the outer suburb of Didsbury are peppered with Victorian mansions, homes of the mill owners who prospered there in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This district’s gracious, old-village atmosphere makes it the ideal place for quieter nights out in stylish surroundings. Pop in to the village for a choice selection of restaurants.

Old Trafford
2.3 miles from city centre
Manchester United. For many, they are the only reason they have even heard of the city. The stadium stands like a sporting skyscraper, with upwards of 70,000 people regularly packing into the arena, turning the surrounding streets into a sea of red. Hungry on match day? Stop at one of the fish and chip shops for an English tradition.
Places to stay from £26 per night
Fallowfield
2.6 miles from city centre
With a large student population, there’s always something afoot in Fallowfield. Local bars and restaurants specialise in catering for champagne lifestyles on lemonade wages. It's worth venturing here if only for is fabulous comedy club XS Malarkey. The atmosphere is young and lively but you don’t have to be a student to get a kick out of this area.
Places to stay from £115 per night
Northern Quarter
0.1 miles from city centre
Don’t dismiss Manchester’s most “alternative” quarter as merely a hipster’s paradise. Sample a dizzying range of beers – locally brewed and from all parts of the world – in Port Street Beer House. Then soak up the brews with a chewy, cheesy, crispy pizza in “Dough”. There’s lots to do in this night-owl’s hotspot.
Places to stay from £25 per night
Castlefield
0.8 miles from city centre
Tradition meets inner-city calm. That’s what you’ll find in Castlefield, another area which proudly demonstrates the proud canal based history of the city. Recent redevelopments have not detracted from the charming character of this part of the city, with the Bridgewater Canal and the red brick bridges in particular worth a special visit.
Places to stay from £42 per night
Salford
1.9 miles from city centre
Salford has arrived at last! Investment life-blood has transformed this urban wasteland into urbane sophisticate. The theatres and art galleries of the Lowry Centre – named for Salford’s most famed “matchstick men” painter – ensure that the area is beyond cool. And the presence of ITV and the BBC ensure the city’s role as MediaCity UK.
Places to stay from £30 per night
Manchester, the third largest city in England, is rooted in industry and expressionism. It was here where the Industrial Revolution began and where many of the UK’s most revered musical talents were born.
Today, this spirit lives on in a thriving media industry and an array of fascinating museums. Visit the Museum of Science and Industry to get some perspective on the city’s industrial past and scientific achievements, or delve into the city's sporting history at the National Football Museum, which features exhibitions on the past and present day.
Those who want to catch a game should head straight for Old Trafford, home of the country’s biggest football club, Manchester United. If tickets aren’t available, be sure to take a stadium tour, or catch a game at the home ground of their rivals, Manchester City.
Manchester is also renowned for its nightlife and music culture. For a memorable night out, head to the bars and clubs of Oxford Road or the Northern Quarter to hear indie anthems and dance classics by the likes of Oasis and The Smiths – two of Manchester’s finest rock ‘n’ roll exports.
The city is well connected by trams, buses and trains to Manchester Piccadilly, the central train station.

Just an amazing city where modern meets traditional.
25 April 2024
Just an amazing city where modern meets traditional. A vibrant place filled with beautiful architecture and culture, all with a feeling of togetherness and a real sense of the spirit of the Mancunian people. A warm convivial and friendly place which welcomes all comers. Such a diverse mix of restaurants, bars and eating places to cater for all tastes. The trams are fantastic. the lifeblood of the city centre and a great way to get around easily. The City has shrugged off its grim up North appearance and now bristles with businesses, new buildings and opportunities. Not the cheapest place to visit but certainly much better value than London. Hoping to be back very very soon. For culture, art, music and spirit, Manchester is where it's at. Nearly as good as Glasgow ;}

Manchester boasts a vibrant atmosphere, especially in its cool city centre. Exploring the area on foot is highly recommended to fully experience its unique vibe. Don't miss out on the city's renowned club scene, offering plenty of options for nightlife enthusiasts. If you're into live music, check out Aviva Studios for a chance to catch a cool concert; we saw Sampha, which was amazing. Additionally, if you have some free time, consider visiting the iconic Manchester United or Manchester City stadium for a glimpse into football history. And when it comes to dining, treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary experience at Sexy Fish. Manchester truly has something for everyone

Manchester is a great city to explore on foot.
23 April 2024
Manchester is a great city to explore on foot. The architecture is spectacular, just look up! We loved the converted warehouse and industrial areas such as Depot Mayfield. There was a great free exhibition of David Hoyle's art at Aviva Studios. We found the Industrial and Science Museum fascinating, linking the city's past and present creativity. Cool independent bars and restaurants, including The Smithfield Social and the Mews Bar and Charcuterie in Deansgate Mews. Delicious modern Indian cuisine at Asha's.
Manchester is a wonderful city and the people are very nice.
20 April 2024
Manchester is a wonderful city and the people are very nice. We stayed in the Northern Quarter, which has many shops, restaurants and pubs available. These also include Canal Street, which is a great visit. If you want a relaxing place to stay, this part of Manchester fits the bill.
