Tourist information
Our tips for finding the best tourist information about Manchester
For all travel, hotels and tourist information (and the best source of information on great offers and deals on accommodation and more), go to Visit Manchester or read their lively travel and things-to-do-in-Manchester blog.
If you are already in Manchester, check out the Visitor Information Centre on Lloyd Street (M60 2LA) – it’s just by Central Library and the Town Hall.
Looking for places to stay and great deals on hotels? We give our recommendations for the top three hotels in Manchester here, or check the Visit Manchester website for the latest offers on accommodation.
After travel information? Try the GMPTE travel site for information on local buses and trams, or read our travel tips and advice on getting to Manchester.
For anything else – such as shopping, the best bars and restaurants and, of course, what’s on in Manchester’s museums and galleries, explore the rest of our guide using the side-bars to your right. Start here, with our feature on the re-opening of the People’s History Museum, then explore what else there is to do close by, in Spinningfields.
