Learn more about hotels in Salford

Salford, a city deeply entrenched in history, stands resolute on the western bank of the River Irwell, marking the boundary with its dynamic neighbour, Manchester. Landmarks such as the 100 Greengate skyscraper and the historical St. Philips Church paint a vibrant picture of a city combining the old and new. Nestled within Greater Manchester, Salford is ideally placed to explore nearby towns such as Bolton and Bury, along with tranquil suburbs of Eccles and Pendlebury.

The city's roots trace back to the Neolithic period, and its historical trajectory is marked by Roman rule, Saxon conquests, and Danish invasions. Salford flourished under a royal charter granted by Ranulf de Blondeville in the 13th century, which propelled it into cultural and commercial prominence, setting a stage for the subsequent industrial revolution.

While the city’s significance waned as industries shifted in the 20th Century, a new dawn arrived with the relocation of notable media companies to the Salford Quays' MediaCityUK. Today, establishments like the University of Salford, the iconic Salford Lads' Club, and sports teams of Salford City Football Club and the Salford Red Devils contribute to the city's vibrant and versatile character.

When to visit Salford

While Salford offers diverse attractions year-round, the crux of your visit would depend on what you seek out in this multifaceted city.
