Modern City

Today, the city has maintained its cultural vibrancy and added an air of cosmopolitanism. In 1984 the overcrowded tenements in the ‘lanes' were replaced with the award-winning Lanes shopping centre - a bustling focus for retail therapy in the city. The spacious pedestrianised heart of the city centre is the perfect venue for open-air markets of all kinds - traditional, continental and farmers'. And, amid the wealth of historic buildings, Carlisle's unique ‘historic quarter' is breathing new life with boutique shops and department stores, pavement cafes, upmarket restaurants, art galleries and live music venues.
