Public transport is the best way to get to Manchester Central. However, if you are travelling from out of the area and do choose to drive, directions are available below.
The M60 - Manchester's orbital motorway - is easily accessible from North, East, South or West. Once on the M60, exit at Junction 12 and join the M602 signposted City Centre. Follow the A57 straight on from the end of the M602, passing under a railway bridge before taking the left hand exit to merge onto the A56 - Bridgewater Way.
Turn right onto Whitworth Street West at Deansgate Station, then left onto Albion Street. The entrance to the Manchester Central Car Park is through the next set of traffic lights on the left, opposite the Bridgewater Hall.
