Ideally located, Salford meets Manchester on the banks of the River Irwell. This city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England, is a vibrant city that sits at the heart of England’s North West.
A city of contrast, Salford showcases an abundance of history, modern landscapes, arts, culture, shopping, and stunning scenery.
One of the world’s first industrial cities, Salford is steeped in history. Visitors can discover Salford’s fascinating heritage through many historic places, whether on land or on water.
The Salford Royal Museum and Public Library (opened to the public in 1850), Britain’s first free public library, counts amongst the city’s many historic achievements. Other interesting places include the picturesque Worsley village and Bridgewater Canal, which played a pivotal role in the industrial revolution, and the haunted Tudor era house, Ordsall Hall, which has 600 years of history packed inside.
You can also visit one of the United Kingdom’s best cultural, sporting, and leisure destinations, gleaming with architecture and waterside dining, the Salford Quays. It’s a contemporary cultural and entertainment hub full of restaurants, museums, outlet shopping and watersports.
Located just 15 minutes away from Manchester city centre by tram, Greater Manchester’s unique waterfront is bursting with local goings-on and is an ideal destination for a day out or a weekend break.
Amongst the spectacular architecture at the revitalised dockyards are the Imperial War Museum North, MediaCityUK, and The Lowry, a theatre and gallery complex.
Along with the city’s urban and waterfront offerings, visitors can also enjoy the feel of nature. Salford remains one of the UK’s greenest cities, with over 60 parks and open spaces. Explore picturesque green spaces, open woodland and meadows and enjoy lakeside walks, picnics, and vibrant wildlife.
Sitting on the outskirts of Manchester and with largely the same high quality of life and relatively affordable cost of living, Salford is intrinsically linked with its bigger neighbour.

With wood-panelled rooms, a leafy beer garden, and an eclectic menu, Worsley Old Hall, a 17th-century country house pub, is the perfect place to catch up with friends.
At the Seven Bro7hers in the MediaCityUK you can enjoy a range of lagers, IPAs, and stouts, as well as a vegan range and classic bar food, all in a laid-back atmosphere that makes this family-owned brewery the perfect place to unwind.
Perfect to relax, grab a coffee or quick bite, or just unwind with friends during the week, the Blind Pig in Monton comes alive at the weekends with a great selection of cocktails.
