Getting Around
Compact Manchester is pretty foot-friendly, but if you're not pounding the pavements you can either catch one of the many buses or trams that weave across the city or one of the trains that skirt the inner city area. There are handy Day Saver tickets which will allow you to travel on all three modes of transport.
Getting There And Away
It's a decent sized city, so getting into Manchester is pretty easy. Flying in is a snap, considering the airport is the largest outside London. Its state-of-the-art facilities make getting to and from the airport pretty foolproof, with on-site trains and buses waiting to take you into town.
Buses run practically every hour from Manchester's city centre to most major cities, and there are multiple trains to and from Manchester to the rest of the country. The majority use Piccadilly as its main station, with a couple using Victoria station.
