Salford is a bold and fast-changing city that sits right next door to Manchester but stands proudly on its own. It's a place with deep roots, strong character and a knack for reinvention. From the leafy streets of Monton and Worsley to the glass towers of MediaCityUK, Salford is where old mills, canal paths and red-brick terraces rub shoulders with modern culture and tech. It's got an honest, no-frills charm but also a growing buzz, with students, creatives, families and professionals all calling it home.

Salford has been around a lot longer than Manchester—it was once the main settlement in the area, even appearing in records as far back as AD 923. It developed into a thriving market town, then transformed dramatically during the Industrial Revolution with spinning mills, engineering works and riverside trade. The city played a huge part in the country's industrial success, with canals and railways running through its heart. In more recent years, Salford's seen a lot of regeneration, especially around the Quays, making it one of the fastest-growing parts of Greater Manchester. The current population is just over 260,000, spread across the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods like Eccles, Swinton, Walkden and Irlam.

There's no shortage of things to see and do in Salford. MediaCityUK is a major draw, home to the BBC, ITV, and all sorts of creative industries, plus shops, restaurants and a buzzing waterfront. The Lowry is a highlight too, with galleries, theatres and regular performances. Salford Museum and Art Gallery sits just off Peel Park and offers a proper look at the city's Victorian past. Ordsall Hall is a hidden gem—a Tudor manor house with ghost stories and gardens. If you're after a walk, the Bridgewater Canal winds through Worsley, lined with trees and old brickwork. For something grand, the National Trust's Dunham Massey is just a short drive away with its stately home, deer park and scenic grounds. If you're after English Heritage sites, the Roman ruins at Castlefield or the moated Bury Castle aren't far off either.

Once you've seen Salford, the rest of Greater Manchester opens up easily. Manchester city centre's just across the river, packed with museums, galleries, music venues, historic libraries and some of the best shopping in the North. Trafford's a go-to for the Trafford Centre, sports stadiums and Chill Factore. Head out to Bury for its famous market and steam railway, or visit Rochdale for Pennine trails and history. Oldham and Tameside give you access to the Saddleworth hills, while Stockport's got heritage museums, vintage markets and woodland walks. Whether you want culture, countryside, or a bit of both, it's all within easy reach.

Salford is really well-connected. Salford Crescent and Salford Central stations run regular trains across the region and beyond, and the Metrolink tram system has stops at Exchange Quay, Anchorage, MediaCityUK and Eccles. The M602 and M60 make driving in or out fairly straightforward, while buses criss-cross the city at all hours. Manchester Airport is only about 25–30 minutes away by car or train, giving you plenty of options for longer journeys. Whether you're commuting or heading on holiday, you're in a good spot.

Greater Manchester is a region that blends heritage and ambition in a way few others do. It's packed with diversity—cultures, landscapes, accents and outlooks all coming together across ten unique boroughs. There's a shared pride in where it's come from, and a real drive toward where it's heading. Whether you're walking canal paths in Wigan, exploring the viaducts in Stockport or catching a gig in the Northern Quarter, the spirit of Greater Manchester is always right there—proud, inventive and welcoming.
