Manchester

The largest city in the state, Manchester is a lively destination with the most events taking place in terms of sports, entertainment, and the arts. As a result, it draws lots of tourists from both close by and abroad. It is an excellent starting point from which to explore the area because of its handy proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee, the White Mountains National Forest, and both Boston and the Atlantic Ocean. You may choose from a wide variety of stores, eateries, and pubs in the regenerated mill town, and the Currier Museum of Art is highly recommended. Its amazing collection includes pieces by Monet, Picasso, and Matisse.

The Amoskeag Fishways Learning and Visitors Center and the Manchester Historical Society Millyard Museum are two other intriguing and instructive establishments that may tell you more about local life in the region. With so much going on, it is definitely worthwhile to stay a few days in Manchester to experience the energy, visit the sights, and get a sense of the surrounding area.
