Spend a city break in Manchester to test your spice tolerance and then dance the night away in the clubs of the hip Northern Quarter. The next day pick out your favourite European masterpiece at the refurbished Manchester Art Gallery. Don't forget your credit card on Manchester city breaks – the department stores along New Cathedral Street are bursting with designer clothes and funky accessories.

Dining and unwinding on Manchester city breaks

You could spend a whole weekend city break in Manchester exploring the popular Asian restaurants on the Curry Mile and in Chinatown. Treat yourself on city breaks to Manchester with modern cuisine from one of the city centre's innovative hotel restaurants. On summer city breaks in Manchester join the locals at the canalside bars and bistros in The Quays.

Special places to stay in Manchester

If you like culture, choose one of the sleek waterside hotels in The Quays for your Manchester city break. For a music-filled city break, head for Manchester's trendy Northern Quarter. The design hotels of Deansgate are great for those city-centre shopping trips, but if you want to explore the countryside around Manchester stay in a quiet guesthouse in Altrincham.

Things to do on Manchester city breaks

Start your Manchester city break shopping at high-fashion department stores on New Cathedral Street or rummaging for vinyl records and vintage clothes in the City Centre. Spend a day viewing pre-Raphaelite paintings and Victorian dolls houses at the Manchester Art Gallery.
