So you’re in the city. But who says you can’t slow down and unwind? The downtown is compact, so you can walk most places, the village is a few concentrated blocks of queer heaven, and if you do need to travel further afield the transport network is excellent. So ease into your vacation. Maybe a sauna or one of the local gyms is more your style. Pamper yourself in Manchester.

Somewhere for the weekend: The Lake District
Just two hours north of Manchester, the Lake District is one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of England. Celebrated by the poet William Wordsworth, the home to the children’s author Beatrix Potter and exhaustively explored by the walker and writer Wainwright, the Lake District’s hills and lakes can by turns be dramatic, savage, gentle, romantic and adventurous. Picturesque villages and genteel lakeside resorts offer a perfect getaway from the city.
