Short Breaks to Manchester
Between the rugged scenery of the Pennines and the Cheshire Plain, you’ll find the lively city of Manchester. Manchester offers the traveller a vibrant and enriching city break.
Whether you choose to walk the teeming centre of Piccadilly or the melancholy drama of the docklands, you’ll find yourself slowly falling in love with this hub of the North West.
Manchester breaks full of history
Begin your Manchester break with a trip to Albert Square, where your attention will be drawn by the gothic heights of the towers and cornices of the Manchester Town Hall and the elegant Albert Memorial. Then head over to the Castlefield district where you’ll find the reconstructed Roman fort, Mamucium. For a truly overwhelming shopping experience, visit the city’s retail area where the visitor will be indulged by high-end names like Vivienne Westwood, Chanel and Emporio Armani.
Manchester is where scientists first split the atom, but finding something miraculous in everyday life here is by no means a difficult feat. The music scene is world famous; springing important bands like The Smiths, Joy Division and The Stone Roses, and the visitor today will find the cultural life of Manchester as vibrant as it has ever been. On your Manchester break, visit the Opera House for glamorous West End Productions or The Manchester Apollo for rock and pop concerts.
United or City?
For sports fans, there needs be no further introduction to the city’s legendary football team, Manchester United and their nascent rivals, Manchester City. Football culture runs deep in the people of the city, and there’s perhaps no better way of experiencing contemporary Manchester than buying a ticket for a weekend game and cheering on the red or blue.
Dining out on your city break you’ll be spoiled by the glitz of famous restaurants like ‘The French’ or the ‘Second Floor Restaurant’ at the Harvey Nichols store, with its panoramic views of the city and the cathedral. Though you don’t always need to spend too much on your cheap city break – excellent traditional and ethnic cuisine are in abundance here.
