Once the site of the Port of Manchester, nowadays Salford Quays has been turned into an area with modern architecture, easily accessible from Manchester.
When I arrived at the northern side, I crossed the brightly coloured Detroit Bridge to reach the Lowry, the main entertainment area with galleries, restaurants, cinema and more. Besides this, the building is an attraction in its own right. Crossing the futuristic footbridge, I reached the other side of the Manchester Ship Canal. Here, you have a great view over the Salford Quays area, and you can also visit the Imperial War Museum North, a war museum - a sight in itself from the outside, designed by Libeskind. Crossing the bridge once again, I walked on in the residential area, with canals, trees, and bridges - a new and attractive area to live, or so it seemed. On the other side of the water, you can see the stadion of Manchester United. In just 15 minutes, I was back in Manchester.
