Welcome to Manchester, the destination spot that provides easy access to all of New Hampshire's scenic locations! Nicknamed the Queen City, Manchester is true royalty among New Hampshire cities. Straddling the banks of the Merrimack River, she's the largest city in northern New England and home to people who love the special lifestyle offered in the Granite State.
Visitors to the Greater Manchester area are only one hour from Boston, the Seacoast, the Lakes Region and the White Mountains, making it an excellent base camp for area excursions. Visitors will discover what residents know -- everything is right there. Shopping, dining, attractions, historic points of interest dating to the Revolutionary War and plenty more that keeps every day filled.
Visitors can enjoy the amenities of the area without the hassle of traffic and crowds. It is possible to fish, hike, golf and even ski without leaving the city. In the Manchester region, "the livin' is easy".
Fall tends to be a very busy time of year, particularly on the weekends when visitors come to the area to experience Nature's transformation from fall to winter and colors abound. With the temperatures near 60 F during the Foliage season, it's a perfect time for a ride or a walk virtually anywhere. Of course, a glass of apple cider is a must as well. Winter is cold but skiing is available nearby. With snow falling quite often, a quiet meal around a roaring fire is a delightful way to pass the time while watching the snow cascade to earth. Spring brings a rebirth to the area with an array of blossoms and colors. Summers are very pleasant with the daytime temperatures near 80 F, making it an ideal time to visit the many outdoor parks and attractions.
Regardless of the season, there is always something to do in this beautiful town. One of the most popular sites to visit is the Singer Family Park which was founded by Peter Ramsey, director of Manchester's Palace Theater. Events at the Singer Family Park include the annual River Fest celebration and an old-fashioned Family Film Night. The Park is also the sporting venue for the New Hampshire Phantoms semi-pro soccer team. As the first legitimate-size soccer field in the state, it's the field of choice for high school events and Division II tournaments hosted by New Hampshire College. The field accommodates lacrosse games, as well.
