Manchester - New Hampshire - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

Located along the Merrimack River in the south central section of New Hampshire, you will find the city of Manchester. The nickname of this city is Queen City and while Manchester is not the capital of the state, it does have the largest population of any other city. It is a city that has something for its visitors in all four seasons of the year.

When looking for accommodations, you can choose from one of many hotels in the city, such as the Four Points Sheraton, the Hill-Brook Motel, the Radisson or the Comfort Inn, to name but a few. There are also bed & breakfast establishments, such as the Ash Street Inn, located in the heart of downtown, or you can stay at the Bedford Village Inn, which is actually a working farm with a Four Diamond Restaurant.

When it comes to places for dining, Manchester is not lacking there either. Unwined serves gourmet food and has an extensive wine list. The Derryfield Restaurant and Lounge has something for everyone as well as live entertainment on the weekends. Jillian's has a big screen TV, a games room and a video café where you can play and eat at the same time. There are seafood restaurants, those specializing in Italian food and bistros galore. You may have a hard decision making up your mind on where and what you want to eat.

The only building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is located in Manchester - the Zimmerman House, but you need to make reservations if you would like a tour inside. See the decorative arts and sculptures from the US and Europe when you visit the Currier Museum of Art and the largest collection of Scouting memorabilia is housed at the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum. Learn about Manchester and its early inhabitants when you visit the Millyard Museum, with activities for the children and impressive displays for the adults.

Science is important in this area as well. See the interactive displays at the Amoskeag Fishways, with its underwater viewing of migrating fish stocks in May and June.
