Manchester
Introduction | Coach Station | Lifestyle | Sightseeing
Since Victorian times Manchester has been a popular destination for tourists and holiday-makers, and with regular buses to Manchester from all over the country, it's never been easier to get to this glorious city.
Take a walk, admire the view
All of Manchester's attractions are within easy reach of each other, which means that the best way to get around the city centre is usually on foot. Take a stroll through one of the city's vibrant villages, each of which has its own distinct character, and admire the awe-inspiring 18th century architecture, cheek by jowl with Manchester's mediaeval cathedral and modern skyscrapers like the Beetham Tower, which is the tallest residential building in the UK.
Or if you're in the mood for something a little more energetic, take a Manchester bus out to Old Trafford, England's largest football stadium after Wembley, and home to the world-famous Manchester United Football Club. Visitors can take a guided tour of the stadium, learn about the history of football in the museum, and buy tickets for matches. Manchester buses will also take you to Manchester Velodrome, home of British Cycling, where you can hobnob with Olympic champions - or even have a go on the track!
History comes to life
Take the bus to Manchester and discover one of Europe's finest cultural capitals. The city boasts an enviable range of galleries and museums, including these top five cultural hotspots:
- The award-winning Imperial War Museum North
- The Museum of Science and Industry ? learn what made Manchester great
- The New York-inspired Generation POP! Art Gallery
- The People?s History Museum ? all about you and me
- The awe-inspiring Lowry Centre in Salford Quays
And whether you're interested in Romans, the Industrial Revolution, football, transport or military history, take the bus to Manchester, and you won't be disappointed. The award-winning Imperial War Museum North is particularly popular, and presents a compelling portrait of how people's lives are shaped by war. Or pay a visit to the Manchester Art Gallery, home to one of Britain's most significant collections of Pre-Raphaelite paintings.
Get away from it all
Another of the city's selling points is the beautiful countryside that surrounds it. Manchester sits on the edge of the Pennine mountain range, meaning that there's always an easy escape from the city, and many visitors step off the Manchester bus and make straight for the hills, to enjoy panoramic views of the city, or to explore some of the fine stately homes in the area, another legacy of the rich industrialists of yesteryear.
So what are you waiting for? Jump on a bus to Manchester, and have fun getting to know this friendly and vibrant metropolis.
