The City of Salford

Salford is a dynamic city in Greater Manchester, North West England, blending a proud industrial past with a vibrant modern identity. Once known for its mills and docks, the city has undergone a major transformation in recent decades — most visibly around Salford Quays, a striking waterfront district that’s now a cultural and creative hub.

Here, you’ll find MediaCityUK, home to major broadcasters like the BBC and ITV, as well as The Lowry, an award-winning arts centre showcasing theatre, galleries, and live performances. The Imperial War Museum North offers thought-provoking exhibitions in a stunning architectural setting.

With its mix of history, culture, and contemporary attractions, Salford offers visitors a refreshing and authentic slice of Northern England.
