Manchester is a dynamic and exciting metropolis, often referred to in England as ‘the capital of the north’ due to its size and large population. The city was once known as being a quintessentially ‘industrial’ city, with a reputation for being rather gray and drab. After a bomb caused major devastation to the city in 1996, it was decided that the rebuilding of the destroyed area would be part of a more widespread regeneration and renewal of the city, and sure enough, Manchester city today is a trendy, chic city that is an ideal destination for a low cost city break or short budget holiday.

Whether you want to don your colours and go to a football match, party it up in one (or all) of Manchester’s fantastic nightspots, shop ‘til you drop, or indulge in a bit of cultural tourism, you will find a range of superb options in Manchester to suit your preferences as well as your budget. Getting there can be easily done at low cost with a number of budget no-frill airlines offering cheap and discount flights to Manchester Airport, perfect for thrifty travelers. And getting around once you’re there is just as easy and cheap when you book your Manchester Car Hire online with ArgusCar Hire Manchester.

Things to see/do in Manchester

There is a wealth of attractions, activities and entertainment on offer in Manchester, with a variety of options and price ranges to suit your whims and your budget. For a bit of culture, take a trip to the Royal Exchange Theatre in the very heart of Manchester city. Rebuilt after the 1996 bomb, the theatre is a wonderful building that offers terrific performances. You might also like to visit the Urbis, an ultra-modern museum that not only exhibits work on modern urban lifestyles, but also offers superb views from its rooftop. The Lowry is a cultural centre that boasts galleries, theatres, and bars, as well as pleasant canal views.

For the best budget and low cost designer shopping in Manchester, the Lowry Outlet Mall (beside the Lowry) is the place to go.

Manchester is particularly well known for its football, in particular the world-renowned Manchester United F.C. If you’re a fan of the reds, you should try to get to Old Trafford to see them play and to soak up the heady, electric atmosphere. If a trip to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ to see the red devils play is beyond your budget, a thrifty low cost option would be a tour of the stadium and a trip to the attached museum. This is a massively popular attraction and as such it is advised to book well in advance.

Eating out/nightlife in Manchester

There are countless good restaurants throughout the city of Manchester, whatever your budget and no matter what you’re in the humour for. For the best cheap eats and budget bites, you won’t go far wrong with a visit to Oxford Road, where low cost curry houses are everywhere and generally serve cheap but tasty and filling fare. The more thrifty among you will be happy with the ‘bring your own booze’ policy offered by many of these, meaning you can save on expensive restaurant drinks.

There are also many cheap but great quality Indian restaurants in the Northern quarter, and for Chinese food there is a Chinatown where low cost all-you-can-eat buffet lunches are widely on offer. You will pay less here at lunchtime than at dinner, which may be suitable to the particularly budget conscious. Throughout the city there are myriad cafés and small casual dining establishments that offer cheap menus and a pleasant dining experience.

If budget is not an issue and you crave some fine dining and gourmet delights, Manchester has a number of more upscale/high end restaurants where you can enjoy a long and luxurious meal – for a price!
