Manchester Trails
Welcome to Urban Culture Trails

If you enjoy exploring the city independently at your own pace simply download one of the four themed Manchester trails and get walking. The trails offer an interesting introduction to Manchester's art, music and culture scene. They each tell the Manchester Story and link the city’s historical past and industrial heritage with modern Manchester.

Each of the trails feature comprehensive information, some of it you may have never heard before, and a detailed map for easy navigation.*

Discover Manchester's unique places and the - often quirky - stories behind them. Visit the venue of the legendary Sex Pistols concert which started the punk rock and New Wave movement, discover where the oldest known piece of the New Testament is archived or hear how the modern theatre movement started in Manchester.

*Please note that some venues may not be fully accessible to wheelchairs.
