3.	Crime in Manchester Manchester’s crime rate, while having fell in recent years, is still higher than some of its neighboring cities in England, so guests would be wise to keep an eye on their belongings and be careful walking back to their hotel at night. Stick to busy, populated areas in or near the city center. « skjul
4.	The Northern Quarter While the Northern Quarter is buzzing, it can be overwhelming for the more conservative traveler, who may not be as excited as others by the high numbers of tattoo parlors and rock ‘n’ rollers. A Guest House in the city centre, or a B & B in a quieter area just outside the city, would be advisable for families or visitors less enthused with the hipster scene. « skjul
