Manchester's city centre leans on its big interchanges: Piccadilly's main concourse has toilets, the Arndale has them on the lower ground floor, and from there the city's libraries take over — Beswick, Burnage, Brooklands and the Avenue Library among them all open their doors to the public.

It's a very free city by our data — nearly everything we list costs nothing — and the parks are better served than you might expect, with the pavilion at Alexandra Park a handy example. South of the centre, Gatley, Stretford and Droylsden all have their own clusters, so the suburbs aren't the desert they are in some cities.

The map will show you what's open right now; the library-hours pattern means mornings and afternoons are easy, evenings need a little more planning.
