Walk!
Manchester is an easy city to explore on foot and it is probably the best way to really get a feel for the place. There is a constant supply of new shops, bars and restaurants that you only really find by stumbling across or into.

Manchester with children
Our son (now 4 1/2, he’ll tell me off if I don’t include the 1/2) was born in the city centre and has lived only in the city centre: and he loves it. Obviously there is a shortage of the “normal” parent traps such as soft plays in the middle of a bustling city, but there really are lots of great things to do. The museums and galleries are always putting events on for families: special mention to Great Northern Warehouse and their book nook and kids playroom inside, as well as their brilliant sandpit and play area outside. Just ask me for more recommendations!
