Traveler advice
What to pack
Bring your comfy walking shoes!
The city can seem large but the downtown area is really just a couple blocks which makes it a wonderful place to walk around and explore, especially in warmer months.
What to pack
Warm Clothes/Shoes for Winter!
If you are coming to beautiful Manchester in the winter months, definitely be sure to bring any warm clothes and shoes you have. I like to always have a hat, pair of gloves and winter boots nearby when I am in Manchester since the weather can be unpredictable (snowstorms are a constant thing here in the winter)!
