Where should I stay in Manchester?
Manchester is the third largest city in the UK, so there are plenty of places to choose from. Deansgate is at the city’s heart, with a plethora of shops and restaurants on its doorstep.
The bohemian Northern Quarter is a creative space that appeals to younger travellers especially, close to the centre. For a more luxurious place to stay slightly further out, the fashionable Salford Quays offers a more relaxed experience.
