Packed with things to do and see, the city centre is easy to navigate, with museums, galleries and the upmarket retail districts of King Street and St. Ann’s square just a short walk from the reception desk at your Manchester hotel. Take a break from sightseeing to shop in the Central Retail District, or catch a game at the neighborhood’s Manchester Arena. More accommodation can be found amongst the museums, galleries and boutiques of The Quays, a short tram ride from the centre.
Theatre-goers have a wide choice of venues for live stage performances, from classical to modern theatre. Check out the event calendars at Opera House and Palace Theatre to find something up your alley. Every corner of the globe is represented in the city’s thriving restaurant scene, like in Chinatown, the Northern Quarter and the famous “curry mile.”
For history buffs, the Imperial War Museum North presents a novel approach to the war and lives affected by it. Old Trafford Stadium and the Manchester United Museum are must-sees as well. End your trip to Manchester with a pint of the local brew, Boddingtons Cream Ale, and for extra fun and frivolity, set your sights on the rainbow-coloured Gay Village.
