Market Street

Market Street is Manchester’s central shopping corridor, linking Piccadilly Gardens with the western retail core. It is useful for browsing or crossing town, with trams sharing its eastern stretch.

Why go

This is a practical street rather than a destination for a single landmark. It connects Piccadilly Gardens, the Arndale and streets leading towards Deansgate, so a shopping walk can double as an easy orientation route. Notice where the trams leave the street and the route becomes more pedestrian focused.

What to look for

  • Metrolink tracks share the eastern section near Piccadilly Gardens.
  • Manchester Arndale is accessible from the street.
  • The western end leads towards St Mary’s Gate and Deansgate.

Useful to know

  • Start at Piccadilly Gardens and walk west if you want to browse towards the Arndale.
  • Watch for trams on the eastern section; shop hours vary independently of the street.
