qgis - How to make an editable City Map from OSM data?


I want to make a map of Cardiff, Wales, showing features useful to tourists, e.g. roads with road names, parks, museums, other POIs, etc. I want the final map to be clear to read - simple roads and names, basic outlines/boundaries - so editing (moving/manipulating) the data from its true georeferenced position would be ideal.


Using data from OpenStreetMap, I can't work out how to make a simple map in QGIS, and using Maperitive I can't find a way to edit the data from its original, simple view, despite being vector data.


A lot of the information online seems to be quite old, for example the OSM plugin is no longer available in the latest version of QGIS.


Is anyone able to offer advise on making a simple, editable map of a city?
