Manchester Travel Tips
Though often eclipsed by the larger-than-life London, Manchester has recently come into its own as a great destination for travelers domestic and foreign. With a working class past that built the foundation for the modernist architecture of today, Manchester is soon to be one of the crown jewels of England.
No trip here would be complete with visiting the Salford Quays, the site of urban revitalization that sets the tone for this up-and-comer. Grab a pint, browse an art gallery, and cherish your time in this Cinderella city of Manchester.
