A cool little artsy town with a lot of shops. The town can get very congested with traffic, so try to get there early. There are also buses that run to manitou if you don’t want to deal with parking. Be careful when parking on side streets and watch the signs because a lot of residential areas in Manitou springs will ticket you.
