How to get around Manchester on your hen do?
Being such a large and well-established city, your travelling around Manchester on your hen do is going to be a breeze. One of the best ways to get around the city is to buy a travelcard and use the tram network. They’re cheap and run frequently. When the evening hits and you need to get back home in the early hours of the morning to rest your weary heads, there are night buses, and Ubers.
If you’re feeling a little adventurous during the day, a cooler and more active way to get around and see the city is to take advantage of Manchester’s “rent a bike” scheme. You just need to download an app, sign up, and you’ll be able to use these bikes which can be found dotted around the city. Note, you’ll likely pay per minute for using these, but they’re a fun way of getting in your tourist attractions if you have some time to spare on your hen party.
