the Quays
in Manchester
The Quays is Greater Manchester's unique waterfront destination, situated just 15 minutes by tram from Manchester city centre. It is Britain's hottest short-break destination and packs everything you can do in a big city into one spectacular square mile. Shopping, sport, art, drama, history and truly world-class architecture - you name it and you'll find it at The Quays.
Leisure attractions there include The Lowry, Salford's architectural flagship, a quirky metal structure where you can see the best in entertainment and LS Lowry's matchstick-like portraits of factory workers. A footbridge walks away over the Manchester ship canal is the giant shark's fin shape that announces Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North.
