Manchester Travel Tips

  • Rock out at downtown's Verizon Wireless Arena, Manchester's biggest and best concert venue.
  • Sit down for a cuppa joe at the Red Arrow Diner, a Manchester classic since 1922.
  • Watch migratory river herring scale the fish ladder at the Amoskeag Fishways center, dedicated to the area's rich Native American heritage. Scheduled interpretative programs bring the area's nature to the fore, especially for kids.
  • Relax with a hot-stone massage at Not So Plain Jane's Salon and Spa.
  • Have a pint while taking in the sounds of traditional Irish music at The Shaskeen pub in the heart of downtown.

Manchester Travel Guide

The history of Manchester is the history of its mills. Brick buildings today line both shores of the Merrimack River, reflecting a time when New England was one of the centers of manufacturing for a growing nation. French-Canadian workers flocked to the city from Quebec, and many of their descendants still live and work in the city, giving Manchester a multicultural flavor. The industrial era has passed, but visitors can still be impressed by the old mills, some now converted to restaurants and offices, others serving as university classrooms, and one that has leapt eras by housing a technology center.
