Free bus

Reviewed By MortenMarthin - Copenhagen, Denmark

Exellent way of seeing the city! Manchester offers two free bus routes, one that covers the inner part of the city centre and one that covers the edge of the city centre. Both busses are ideal for both sightseeing and transportation and problably the best advice I can pass on to other Manchester visitors.

Download the London app to your phone and it makes it really easy to get around. Either get an oyster card for ease or if you have a contactless card it's works a treat, you also hear some great bands when you are moving around underground Enjoy exploring

St. Pancras International Station

St Pancras International is one of the greatest Victorian buildings in London. It has become a key destination for Eurostar and high-speed rail in the UK, as well as a fantastic retail and hospitality destination. It has something for everyone - from the amazing Terrace Wires public arts installation to cornerstone and prestige retail outlets such as Fortnum & Mason, MAC and Chanel.

London Buses

One of the largest bus networks in the world, with around 8,500 vehicles in the fleet, 50 bus stations and 19,500 bus stops.

Reviewed By ntalabany - London, United Kingdom

Absolutely love these bus routes on the No 49, 9 and 15 double decker. They take you past and right through all those amazing historic and important sites without having to pay much more than a standard Oyster card bus fare. Start in the Westend, trundle along Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, posh Strand, past the High Courts, Fleetstreet, the Exchange, the Tower and all the way to Aldgate where the new London skyline glitters in shiny glass and steel. Try to grab one of the 4 front seats at the top for the best ride in town. Only sad thing about this is that you cannot do the hop on hop off, apparently due to a lack of money for an additional conductor at the back.

Isle of Man Bus and Rail

Reviewed By underwhisky

We purchased a Go Ticket for £52 which gave us unlimited travel on the Buses, Steam Railway, Electric Tram, Groudle Glen Railway and the small Mines Train in Laxey. We found all the public transport workers and volunteers on the railway very helpful and went out of their way to help us. We managed to see the whole of the Island during our 11 day stay. We stayed in Douglas which made local transport a viable option.

As a family, the tram is our preferred option of getting into town - £5 is less than 2 hours city centre parking, so the Park&Ride is the best option for anything more than a brief visit.
