Why Manchester Is a Great Place for Couples to Visit

Manchester is a city in the United Kingdom which is often overlooked when couples travel. Many choose the busy capital of London, but if you are looking for the fun of a big city without the price and with a lot of culture, Manchester is the place to visit. Here are just a few things that couples can enjoy on a romantic getaway to Manchester.

Junkyard Golf

If you love a bit of competition, junkyard golf is great for doing something fun and different. This indoor mini golf course is a little bit of an obstacle course too, including a slide you can go down to get to the next hole. Each course is themed differently and is great fun. You can also enjoy a cocktail or two whilst going around the golf course. Your score cards are yours to keep and can be a great keepsake, remember to have a great name for you and your guy on the scorecard though. If you are struggling, check out Cute Nicknames For Guys.

Accommodation

There is a variety of hotels and air B&B’s to choose from in Manchester, depending on your budget and how close into the city you wish to be. Even if you stay outside the city in places such as Salford, there are many transport links via bus, tram, train or taxi to get from A to B very easily. Inside the city, however, is a hidden gem known as Hotel Gotham. If you love all things gothic, this hotel has amazing architecture and your loved one would definitely love a night in this hotel.

Scenery

Although this is a city, there are many places both inside the city and on the outskirts to have lovely walks and even a picnic.

You can hire a boat on the lake or walk around this huge park, which always attracts families and couples alike with its great views. If you wish to sit and have a cocktail whilst checking out the scenery, Salford Quays has many stunning cocktail bars to enjoy a drink whilst looking over at the beautifully lit TV studios such as ITV and the quayside.
