The architecture of its massive 18th- and 19th-century expansion dominates to this day, with imposing municipal buildings and an atmospheric web of canals, bridges and railway arches to explore.</cityintroTitle><cityDescription>Also enduring into the 21st century is a productive can-do ethos, with the city now rightly regarded as the capital of northern England. It isn&rsquo;t all elbow grease, of course. As befits a destination with international relevance, you&rsquo;ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to creature comforts &ndash; whether that&rsquo;s in the form of high-end shopping, refined hotels or an exciting, ever-improving dining scene. And if you visit when the Rainy City is living up to its nickname, you may well be glad of these opportunities for self-indulgence. But don&rsquo;t forget that Manchester is, at heart, a working-class place where the down-to-earth is cherished &ndash; the city adores its traditional pubs, curry cafes (the most cherished is This &amp; That at 3 Soap Street), and popular culture from music to football. Make the effort to sample both sides of the city &ndash; the glitz and the grit &ndash; and you&rsquo;ll be assured of an authentic Mancunian experience.</cityDescription><cityHoverDescription/></destinationEntryDetails><metaKeyword>flights to Manchester, Manchester attractions, things to do in Manchester, things to eat in Manchester, accomodation options in Manchester</metaKeyword><metaDescription>Book your flights to Manchester, England &amp; enjoy a wonderful vacation with family or friends.

A little away from the city centre, The Quays are a reinvigorated stretch of old dockland with some of the city’s standout sites, particularly if you’re a fan of modern architecture. The sculptural Lowry arts centre (thelowry.com) is named after the region’s most famous artist – L. S. Lowry, famed for his mid 20th-century paintings of industrial Greater Manchester. The aluminium Imperial War Museum North, designed by celebrated architect Daniel Libeskind, captures the violence of its subject matter with its dramatically intersecting segments (called “shards”). A footbridge connects the two sites. It’s easy to get here – simply jump on the Metrolink tram (the pink or brown lines) from the centre.</Description><insiderLabel/><insider/><whatToDoImage/><whatToDoImageAltText/><links><infoLinkLabel>The Quays</infoLinkLabel><externalLinkInfo>http://thequays.org.uk/</externalLinkInfo><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/></links></whatToDoSection><whatToDoSection><category>Cultural</category><categoryLabel>Cultural</categoryLabel><heading>The boho-chic Northern Quarter</heading><Description>Explore the boho-chic Northern Quarter.

But there’s nothing left of the grimy rock and roll era around this sleek, soberly decorated hotel, following a substantial rebuild. In pride of place are a handful of suites named after performers who graced the old venue, including Ella Fitzgerald and Shirley Bassey. But in homage to one of popular music’s iconic moments, you should really opt for the Dylan. Insider Tip: Even if you’re not staying the night, come for one of Manchester’s finest afternoon teas at the hotel’s Opus One restaurant. Ask for a window seat near the original 1856 palazzo facade.</hotelDescription><ratingLabel/><hotelRating>5.0</hotelRating><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToStayImage>/saar5/images/destination/where-to-stay-default.jpg</whereToStayImage><whereToStayImageAltText>Where to stay in Manchester - Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester Hotel</whereToStayImageAltText><links><externalLinkWebsiteLabel>Book now</externalLinkWebsiteLabel><externalLinkWebsite>http://ajaxsearch.partners.agoda.com/partners/tracking.aspx?cid=1618815&urltogo=http://ajaxsearch.partners.agoda.com/europe/united_kingdom/manchester/radisson_blu_edwardian_manchester_hotel.html&backlink=http://www.agoda.com.sg/singaporeair&header=http://img.agoda.net/images/partnermarketing/clp/sgair/sgair_header4.html</externalLinkWebsite><locationLinkLabel>Free Trade Hall Peter Street</locationLinkLabel><externalLink>Free Trade Hall Peter Street, Manchester City Center, Manchester, United Kingdom</externalLink><contactNo/></links></places></whereToStaySection><whereToStaySection><places><whereToStayHeading>Velvet</whereToStayHeading><hotelDescription>This is a hotel with as much attitude as the city it calls home, with bold, sumptuous designs across nineteen seductively decorated rooms.
