Searching for cheap flights to Manchester from the USA? Look no further than Globehunters.
As one of the UK’s best loved spots for a fun-packed city break, Manchester is full of cool attractions and entertainment for the whole family. Bustling and vibrant with amazing shopping opportunities as well as a wealth of history, it’s worth spending a good few days here to really get to know the place. Plus the choice available is pretty good too!
Speaking of shopping, there are two massive shopping centres called the Arndale and Trafford Centre, offering a great range of big name brands, designer boutiques and attractive places to eat and drink. There are plenty of hidden gems to watch out for too, like cute vintage shops and markets selling an abundance of fresh local produce.
If shows and big entertainment are your thing, Manchester has a stunning mix of attractions and events on its calendar each year. The Manchester MEN Arena hosts some of the largest names in show business, music and comedy throughout the year. The city’s diverse culture is also a notable highlight, with plenty of great museums, art galleries and theatres to browse around, whatever the weather. Don’t forget to explore Albert Square, filled with thriving food festivals and the home of a fantastic Christmas market during November and December. Getting around on foot is very easy as the city itself isn’t particularly big, or you can use the handy free city shuttle buses that dart around connecting the four main railway stations and bus terminals. Then dance the night away in one of the many reggae bars, cocktail bars, real-ale pubs and live music venues before getting into bed ready to do it all again the next day.
