Backstage tour of the parliament's workings
Really worthwhile (& free) morning spent seeing & hearing about the workings of the Manx Parliamentary system - make sure you know when it's open & book up just in case

Tour of the Isle of Man parliament
An extremely interesting and informative tour of the Isle of Man parliament in Douglas, the present capital, its three houses, the House of Keys, the Legislative Assembly and the Tynwald. The guide was very interesting, and knowledgeable. He made the talk interesting and witty, so not boring at all. The guide described the process of how bills come to be passed, and also, outlined two bills currently before the parliament, and how they are discussed. Not to be confused with the Old House of Keys in Castletown.
