Places to stay in Greater Manchester

Manchester - alive with music!

Immerse yourself in the culture, entertainment and nightlife of one of the most vibrant modern cities in England. Step outside its boundaries and explore winding rivers, black-and-white timber houses and the sweet sound of jazz.

Discover the Manchester waterfront at the impressive Quays. Enjoy a play, wander the galleries or dine out in a restaurant at The Lowry, a veritable centre of culture and entertainment. Marvel at the impressive B of the Bang Sculpture – the tallest in the UK – and discover how Mancunians lived a hundred or so years ago at the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester.

Explore 30 miles of rivers and canals in Salford. Drop a penny in the water and make a wish at the Victorian ornamental fountain in Worsley village – built from the old factory’s chimney stacks – and admire the charming 18th and 19th-century black-and-white timber buildings.
