To slow things down even further, book some time at Nu Spa and spend a few hours switching off together.

For the more adventurous couples, stop by Depot Climbing Centre and have a go on the artificial climbing walls.

For something different, Race Across the World Manchester turns the city into a live-action game, encouraging you to work together as you explore.

Cultural Activites

Manchester’s museums and architecture are easy to enjoy at your own pace.

Spend a few hours at the Science & Industry Museum or head to the National Football Museum for a look at the city’s sporting heritage. The People’s History Museum offers a thoughtful take on the stories that shaped modern Britain.

If you’d rather stay outdoors, take a walk through the city centre and soak up Manchester’s mix of historic buildings and modern design. John Rylands Library is a must-see, even if you pop in for a short visit.
