Walker Art Gallery
One of the best collections outside London, from Rembrandt to Hockney, free.
The Walker has been called the National Gallery of the North and it earns it: Rubens, Rembrandt, the Pre-Raphaelites, a strong twentieth-century room and the John Moores prize for new painting. It is free, calm and beside the World Museum, so a wet day can be spent on one street. The sculpture gallery is a good place to sit.
When it works
Indoors, so the weather does not matter. Best morning, afternoon.
Good for a date, going solo and step-free visits.
