Liverpool Travel Guide

Last Updated: September 1, 2023

Liverpool is one of the most visited cities in England . Like neighboring Manchester , Liverpool saw tremendous expansion during the Industrial Revolution, when it became a major port city.

After the city’s decline, Liverpool became known as a dingy industrial city that was filled with crime. It wasn’t a place most people wanted to go.

Fortunately, that reputation has been shaken off.

In the last few decades, the city has evolved into a major hub for food, art, and music. In fact, in 2008 Liverpool was named the European Capital of Culture.

There’s a lot to see when you visit Liverpool, including many free museums, parks, and inexpensive restaurants. As the World Capital City of Pop, the city is famous for its music scene. It’s best known as the birthplace of The Beatles, but the city is also home to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the oldest professional symphony orchestra in the UK.

This Liverpool travel guide can help you plan your trip so you save money and make the most of your time in this lively destination!

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Liverpool

1. See the University of Liverpool

The university has beautiful, well-maintained grounds and gardens that make for a lovely afternoon stroll. Abercromby Square is a popular hangout, with a sprawling lawn and garden in the center. The university is one of the UK’s ‘red brick universities’ which is a name given to the civic universities built in major industrial cities throughout England in the 1900s. Liverpool University is often referred to as the Original Red Brick. The campus is only about a five-minute walk from Liverpool City Centre and spans around 100 acres. While you’re here, you can also visit the free Victoria Gallery & Museum, located in the university’s original red brick building.

2. Visit the World Museum

This free natural history museum contains a vast assortment of exhibits on world cultures, zoology, geology, and more. Once known as the Derby Museum, it opened in 1851 and included the 13th earl of Derby’s personal collection of natural history exhibits. The original two-room museum continued to grow in popularity, and it moved to a brand-new building in 1860. Heavily damaged during World War II, several exhibits were lost, and the museum didn’t reopen until 15 years after the end of the war. In 2005 there was a complete renovation which nearly doubled the size of the exhibits. Some of the best exhibits include the Natural History Centre, the planetarium, and one of the best Egyptian archaeology exhibitions in England (which includes several mummies).

3. Watch a football match

Football (soccer) is life here, and there’s no better way to see how the locals value the sport than to attend a match. You can see either Everton or Liverpool, but make sure to never root for the opposite team (the rivalry between Everton and Liverpool has been around since the late 1800s when the Liverpool Football Club was formed in response to a disagreement between the directors of Everton Football Club). Expect to pay around 40 GBP for tickets.

4. Learn about The Beatles

The award-winning Beatles Story museum is the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to the Beatles, telling the story of their rise to fame through memorabilia (including their instruments), imagery, and video. There are also replicas of iconic locations like Abbey Road Studios, Casbah, Mathew Street, and The Cavern where the band played many of their early Liverpool shows. Admission is 18 GBP.

5. Explore the Royal Albert Dock

Located in the historic waterfront area of Liverpool, the dock was originally designed by Jesse Hartley in 1846 and was used for ships carrying cotton, brandy, and sugar, along with other imports, all of which played an important role in the economy of the city. These days, the Royal Albert Dock is a complex of historic dock buildings and warehouses that contain several museums, such as the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Liverpool, and The Beatles Story. There are some awesome bars and restaurants here too and it’s the perfect place to check out Liverpool’s thriving arts and culture.

Other Things to See and Do in Liverpool

1. take a free walking tour.

One of the first things I do in a new city is to take a free walking tour. It’s the best way to see the main sights and connect with a local guide who can answer all your questions. New Europe offers daily free tours that last 3 hours and covers all the main sights (they have a paid tour just on The Beatles too). Just remember to tip your guide at the end!

2. Admire local art at the Bluecoat

Located in a historic 18th-century building (the oldest surviving building in Liverpool), The Bluecoat is a gallery and center for contemporary art. The venue also hosts special talks, events, dance, and visual arts exhibitions too. It’s free to visit, though tickets are required for some special events. Check the website for details to see what’s on during your visit.

3. Visit the International Slavery Museum

The International Slavery Museum (part of the free National Museums Liverpool network) focuses on slavery both past and present. Liverpool was a major slaving port during the 18th century, and the museum helps paint a vivid picture of how Liverpool grew in importance during this time — and at what cost. Exhibitions and artifacts from the Transatlantic slavery collection showcase the impact that slavery had not only on Liverpool but the entire world. Additional exhibitions include the African diaspora collection, the racist memorabilia collection, and an extensive section of the museum focused on contemporary slavery in today’s world. Admission is free.

4. Rock out at Liverpool International Music Festival

Every August, Liverpool puts on one of the biggest music festivals in the world. The festival was initially famous for being Europe’s largest free music event, but since 2018 it’s been a ticketed event (though prices are still reasonable and can be found for around 25 GBP). The performing artists are mostly DJs and producers, with a heavy focus on British artists. The weekend festival includes three outdoor stages and many creative artist spaces to chill out in the summer heat.

5. See Liverpool Cathedral

This 20th century Gothic Revival cathedral is the largest religious building in the United Kingdom. It’s also the longest cathedral in the world and listed on England’s National Heritage List. Huge, vaulted ceilings make up the central nave, choir, and central tower with impressive stained-glass windows throughout. On a clear day, the tower has breathtaking views of Liverpool, Merseyside, and beyond. It’s free to visit but the tower costs 6 GBP.

6. Get lost in the Williamson’s Tunnels

In the early 1800s, a Liverpool tobacco merchant, Joseph Williamson, funded the construction of an enormous labyrinth of tunnels around the city. To this day, nobody knows why. Friends of Williamson’s Tunnels offers free guided tours on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can also learn more at the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre, which gives guided tours (4.50 GBP) of a different tunnel section on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

7. Enjoy contemporary art at Tate Liverpool

Located in a warehouse at the Royal Albert Dock, Tate Liverpool’s opening in the 1980s helped to solidify Liverpool’s place in the contemporary art world, transforming the city from its rugged manufacturing past into a modern cosmopolitan city. Admission to Tate Liverpool is free (except for special exhibitions).

8. Learn about Liverpool’s maritime history

The Merseyside Maritime Museum details Liverpool’s seafaring past through artist renditions of maritime life, stories of life at sea, shipwrecked objects, ship models, and more. One of the museum’s highlights is an extensive collection on the Titanic (the Titanic’s home port was Liverpool). You can also book tickets here for the Old Dock Tour, where you’ll visit the world’s first commercial enclosed wet dock. Admission to the museum is free and the Old Dock Tour costs 8.50 GBP.

9. Visit the FACT Media Center

Foundation for Creative Art and Technology (FACT) is a leading organization dedicated to supporting British artists. There are two large art galleries here as well as three movie screens showing the latest art house releases (and occasionally mainstream releases). The complex also contains Picturehouse Bar (a cool bar where you can grab a drink) and a café. Entry to the exhibitions is free and cinema prices start at 8 GBP.

10. Relax at Sefton Park

One of Liverpool’s largest parks, here you’ll find plenty of walking paths, green space to enjoy a picnic, a large lake, and multiple cafes scattered throughout. Don’t miss the red Victorian bandstand, which is said to be the inspiration for The Beatles’ song, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The historic Sefton Park Palm House Conservatory showcases botanical life from around the world and hosts regular events for the public (admission is free).

11. Take a food tour

Liverpool has a vibrant food scene, and there’s no better way to spend your day than learning about the food culture of the city. Liverpool Tours has a tour that takes you to six different independent food and drink spots over the course of a three-hour tour. Tours are 80 GBP for individual tickets but booking two or more tickets brings the price down to 70 GBP each.

Liverpool Travel Costs

Hostel prices – Dorms with 6-8 beds cost 30-50 GBP per night while a private room is 65-120 GBP, depending upon the season. Free Wi-Fi is standard, though most hostels here don’t have self-catering facilities or offer breakfast.

There are several campgrounds outside Liverpool for those who have a tent, but they are only convenient if you have a vehicle. Expect to pay at least 15 GBP for a basic plot without electricity.

Budget hotel prices – Budget hotels start at 50 GBP, with breakfast often included. Expect to pay at least 65 GBP during the peak summer season, especially when there are events or festivals happening.

There are lots of Airbnb options in Liverpool, with private rooms starting at 40 GBP per night while an entire home/apartment costs 70-90 GBP. Expect prices to double if you don’t book in advance.

Food – While British cuisine has evolved in leaps and bounds due to immigration (and colonialism), it’s still very much a meat and potatoes country. Fish and chips remain a popular staple for both lunch and dinner while roasted and stewed meats, sausages, meat pies, and the quintessential Yorkshire pudding are all common options as well. Curry (and other Indian dishes, such as tikka masala), are super popular too.

Fish and chips usually cost around 5 GBP and you can get a variety of cheap sandwiches for 5-7 GBP at local delis. Fast food (think McDonald’s) costs around 6 GBP for a combo meal.

For a mid-range meal at a pub or restaurant, expect to pay 10-17 GBP for a main course like burger, pasta, or a vegetarian meal. A pint of beer costs around 4 GBP and a latte/cappuccino is around 3 GBP.

You’ll find a fair amount of high-end dining in Liverpool. Expect to pay 40 GBP or more for a three-course menu. If you’re traveling on a budget, I’d skip the fancy food, as it’s pretty pricey!

Pizza starts at 9-10 GBP while Indian food is around 7-10 GBP for a main dish.

If you plan on cooking your own food, a week’s worth of groceries costs 40-60 GBP. This gets you basic staples like rice, pasta, produce, and some meat. The best places to buy cheap groceries are Lidl, Aldi, and Sainsbury’s.

Backpacking Liverpool Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Liverpool, expect to spend about 65 GBP per day. This budget covers a hostel dorm, taking public transit, cooking your own meals, limiting your drinking, and doing mostly free activities like free walking tours and free museum visits. If you plan on drinking, add 10-15 GBP to your daily budget.

A mid-range budget of about 120 GBP per day covers staying in a private Airbnb room or private hostel room, eating out for most of your meals, taking the occasional taxi, having a few drinks, and doing some paid activities like taking a food tour or watching a soccer game.

On a “luxury” budget of about 250 GBP or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink as much as you want, rent a car or take more taxis, and do whatever activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get an idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in GBP.

Liverpool Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Liverpool’s reputation as a student-friendly city makes it more affordable than most other English cities. With cheap pubs, plentiful public parks, and numerous free activities, there are a lot of ways to cut costs here. These are my top suggestions to save money in Liverpool:

• Enjoy the waterfront – Liverpool’s photographic waterfront of converted warehouses and docks is a great place to take in some seaside views and enjoy the historic architecture. There are lots of outdoor spots to sit and enjoy people watching for free.
• Take a free walking tour – If you want to get a sense of the city be sure to take a free walking tour. They last a couple of hours and are a great way to immerse yourself in the city while learning about its past. New Europe offers daily free tours of the city. Just be sure to tip your guide at the end.
• Spend an afternoon in the park – Stroll the walking trails and paths of Sefton Park, spending time at the lake and waterfalls. It’s a great spot to enjoy a budget-friendly afternoon.
• Visit the museums – All of the museums that are part of the National Museums Liverpool network are free. These top museums cover a range of topics including art, history, archaeology, and nautical themes. The Tate Liverpool is also free and worth wandering through.
• Stay with a local – If you’re on a budget, use Couchsurfing . It connects you with a local who can host you for free as part of a cultural exchange. They can share their insider tips about the city too!
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Liverpool

Liverpool only has a couple budget-friendly choices in the city. Here are my suggested places to stay:

• The Liverpool Pod
• Embassie Liverpool Backpackers

How to Get Around Liverpool

Public transportation – Buses are the best way to get around Liverpool. A day pass costs 5 GBP for a single day and a three-day pass is 14.10 GBP. Single fares start at 2.20 GBP, making the day pass your best choice.

The city also has a rail system with 68 stations in and around Liverpool. Single-fare tickets cost 4.20GBP and a 7-day pass is 17.20 GBP.

Bicycle – Liverpool is a bike-friendly city. There are a variety of bike rental options throughout the city with bikes costing around 10-20 GBP for a rental.

Taxis – Taxis are readily available and cost 2.60 GBP to start and then 1.50 GBP per mile. Prices add up quickly so I wouldn’t take one unless absolutely necessary.

Ridesharing – Uber is available in Liverpool but public transport is the easiest and cheapest to get around in the city. Skip the rideshares if you can.

Car rental – Car rentals can be found for as little as 25 GBP per day for a multi-day rental, though you only need a car if you plan on leaving the city to explore the region. Just remember that you’ll be driving on the left and that most vehicles are manuals. Drivers need to be at least 21 years old.

When to Go to Liverpool

As a northern English city, Liverpool has a similar climate to nearby Manchester. Summer is the peak tourism season and offers warm weather, though it rarely gets above 21°C (70°F). The summer season is also festival season; expect the city to be more crowded during busy festival dates. Liverpool International Music Festival (August), Liverpool Pride (July), Africa Oyé (June), and Creamfields (August) are the biggest summer events. Expect higher accommodation prices during these events.

Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) are also fantastic times to visit, as temperatures are mild and the summer crowds have thinned. You may get some rain, but otherwise, it’s my favorite time to visit.

Winter sees temperatures just above freezing, sometimes reaching highs of 6-10°C (40-50°F). While the sun sets early during this time, the cold is not unbearable and the city is still bustling with activities. Around Christmas, the city is especially popular thanks to ice rinks, a festive Christmas Market, and lots of shopping.

How to Stay Safe in Liverpool

While violent crime against tourists is rare, Liverpool struggles with petty crime, though recently it has been recognized as a safer city than Manchester.

Scams and pickpocketing can occur around high traffic areas and on public transportation so be alert and keep your valuables secure and out of sight.

Pickpockets tend to work in teams, so stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. The Toxteth, Dingle, and Wavertree neighborhoods in south Liverpool are known to be seedier than other parts of Liverpool and Merseyside, but as a tourist, most of the attractions are in the central and north anyway.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

Your biggest worry is likely to be walking around late at night, especially after leaving a pub or club after a few too many pints. Stay alert to avoid pickpockets and bad situations.

While scams here are rare, if you’re worried about getting ripped off you can read about common travel scams to avoid here .

if you experience an emergency, dial 999 for assistance.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Top 4 airlines flying to liverpool.

Short flight so not much to rate. Surprised I had to pay for a soda.

Nice to be on a flight that wasn't fully booked so there were only two of us in the three seat row.

The only problem was there are games on the entertaiment system. The guy behind me played poker the entire time and poking the back of my seat. I hope they remove these.

Very good need to offer better choice of food for business

Great travel. Wonderful experience. Hope to do it again in the near future. God willing

Aer Lingus doesn't have plug ins for devices at each seat. They also did not give me a dairy free meal as requested and confirmed by staff. It was as if I had not requested anything. Otherwise, they were great!

The transatlantic flight was wonderful. The regional reminded me of jet blue. Crazy and packed. Not enough overhead space and tough on elderly.

All OK. Food, best bring your own. Even a BigMac will be better.

Always find Aer Lingus reliable and good value for money. Food on this flight was pretty basic and the headphone Jack at my seat only worked for one ear. Little disappointed in movie selection, limited on recent releases. Staff are okay - but I always buy a cheap ticket so not like I expect first class opulence anyway!!!

Great hospitality and service! Seats are better cushioned then some

did not get the seats we had specially paid for

This is a no frills airline. You cant expect much for the price. Low cost flight, clean, nice staff. That's all I need for the price. If you want more, book with another airline and pay more. For Europe trips, PLAY is the ONLY airline I use

Misleading instructions for check in. Although I did virtual check in and was instructed to head to security, once I was at security, they told me to go back to Play ticket counter and get paper tickets. Also, beware that Play doesn’t participate in TSA PreCheck. I didn’t know that, despite entering PreCheck info when I purchased the tickets. I wasted time in the TSA PreCheck line as well. So we had two setbacks at check in.

It's a budget airline, so forewarned is forearmed. Yes, you pay for everything like carry-on, checked baggage, seat selection, but that's becoming the case with major airlines. Bringing your own snacks and entertainment on board is highly recommended. It's no frills, but the crew, the plane and the flight itself was great. If you want pampering go for a larger airline. If you just want to get from A to B in comfort and safety, Play is a great choice.

It is a low cost airline. Staff are courteous. There is no entertainment. Food is purchased.

Upon boarding, the people at the gate were extremely rude, there were no outlets on a 6 hour international flight, there was no entertainment, all food and drink was purchase only (even snacks), and my seat reclining function was fully broken. The only redeeming quality was the flight attendants were extremely nice. This was by far the worst flight I have ever been on in my entire life

I don’t know how international flights can’t have media screens to keep people entertained for the long flight. Ugh.

Typical experience for budget airline. Boarding from KEF required bus transit from the gate to plane, so if you had "priority boarding" it was useless as it was simply a free-for-all when getting off the bus. But still no issues with getting our luggage into overhead bin so not really a problem.

Was very apprehensive about flying Play, but the flight was fine. Nothing special, nothing horrible. Fair price to get from New York to Iceland.

I wasn’t able to check in online the day before or the day of because their web configuration or business model idk. I arrived an hour early and check was closed and there was no one around to speak to and eventually was told there was no possible way to get a digital ticket despite I had no luggage to check and would have easily made it through security to boarding and had to pay for a new ticket for $330 ontop of the $169 I spend for the ticket and then I missed my rental car for $305 because I only arrived at midnight instead of noon that I was originally intended. All booked through kayak. I hope there is some kind of insurance from kayak because this was totally preventable had I not been blocked by play air from getting my check in and plane ticket.

Horrible experience. Nothing to give to kids to keep them entertained.

I think I have bruises on my kneecaps. Do the seats have to be so close together these days? And if they are so close they really shouldn’t recline. I think when the gentleman in front of me reclined, the back of his head was on my chin. That being said the crew were always caring and polite, and the flight was on time and very safe. So I’m grateful for that.

I always try to book flights that don’t charge for baggage. Yet I was charged $75 for this flight.

Trouble keeps changing the time and I was booked different flight without knowing it was bad experience

I dropped my wallet under my seat on this flight with all of my money and credit card. I requested to be able to go back and retrieve it but Lufthansa denied my request. I went to the Customer Services and they called Lost and Found but I was told nothing found would be turned in until around 12:00pm. My next flight was leaving so I was unable to check to see if my wallet was turned in. I will never fly with Lufthansa again.

My concern is with Flight: 441 IAH-FRA I was very cramped in my seat and the person in front of me was reclined. I pulled my wallet out of my purse and when finished I did my best to cram it back into my purse. Our flight was very delayed and we were rebooked twice and lots of airport time. As I got off the flight I noticed that I had dropped my wallet( containing all my credit & debit bank cards + 240 US dollars & 240 Euros. I spoke to customer service & Lost &Found. I was denied access to look on the plane. Therefore I have been without money and given no help. Paula Bjork 503.545.6698

Dinner was good by air travel standards but breakfast was too light and heavy on carbs/sugar.

Overall good experience. Polite crew. Good foodandentertainment. Seats are small and bit congested though.

Used to love Lufthansa, but Rowe are too close together in Economy and passengers are allowed to recline their seats so far back it is impossible for those behind them to even reach for carry-on essentials during flight - except for meal service when flight attendants ask for seat backs to be raised, we can’t sleep on planes so this flight was most uncomfortable ever! Rod Rose

So far so good. I missed my flight because of the Lufthansa diversion. United helped me to figure out how to get accommodations from Lufthansa for my long layover. They help me book appropriate onward flight.

In economy and food was ok, but with limited leg space (and I was in a 2 seat configuration) it was difficult to eat with a tiny seat tray. I spilt wine on my trousers. First time on British Air (I usually fly Turkish Air) and in a 777. Heathrow was pleasant but changing terminals awkward.

Starting with the flight Cairo to London the plain was so poor no entertainment at all uncomfortable seats although it’s 5 hours long,then an American airline plain took me from London to Miami it was a bad experience the crew most of flight time not available and they asked us to help our selves for any snacks if we need. From Miami to London actually was perfect flight with a huge plain and perfect crew but from London to Cairo was horrible plain with stiff fixed seats not movable no entertainment or wi fi very poor Menu which is unacceptable for a business class

I've done hundreds of flights in my life, and this flight was one of the best I've ever taken, From beginning to end, everything went smoothly, professionally, and with a smile and friendly attitude from all employees I interacted with. The food was delicious (and free), as were the drinks. There was just a genial and effective way in the way that British Airways organized the flight -that reminded of days in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, when flying was a fun, and exciting adventure. I enjoyed and had confidence in the abilities of the flight crew, I'll be flying British Airways several more times this summer. Thank you so much for the great experience! Cheryl Olso

Terrible! I missed my flight to my final destination and British airlines and American Airlines keep pointing fingers on each other’s. Nobody wants to take responsibility

Overall, terrific service, accommodations, and experience. Only reason comfort was rated lower was because it was difficult to keep a comfortable sleeping position for the overnight flight, but I also had an economy seat.

Very cramped seats in economy, difficult to get comfortable with your legs and feet and back. The seat width is ok but I’m average size. Food is HORRIBLE. Crew is friendly. Delays and very tight connections made it tough for navigating. We would have missed our connecting flight if it wasn’t delayed too. The terminal transit was slow and normally every 10 minutes before 8pm, after 8 pm is every 30 minutes!!!!! No free wine or drinks!! Below average attitude.

Leg room was better than expected. Lavatory’s were easy to access.crew was grea!

Horrible seat allocation. Boarding was slow. Food was average and so was entertainment. The TV terminal didn't work and so had to use remote.

Lost one checked bag.and wasted 30min waiting and filing missing baggage report. Very unsatisfied.

This was an American Airlines flight. The crew were very unhappy and quite grumpy. Abrupt to the point of being rude. The food was dreadful. Indeed the breakfast was in edible. I will avoid AA at all costs in the future.

This page may contain  affiliate links which earn us a commission at no extra cost to you to support the site. Thank you!

This one day Liverpool itinerary shows you an easy and efficient way to see the most of the city in under 24 hours.

*The spending money was gifted by Hotels.com, but all views are my own.

You may already know it, but I love the north of England. Manchester has been my home ever since I moved to the UK and I’ve always enjoyed going to other cities in the vicinity. Liverpool, only being a short train ride away, also falls under that category.

For this blog post, I’m collaborating with Hotels.com. Joining their reward program is a perfect way to save up for free hotel nights. For every 10 nights you book with them, you get one completely free of charge! If you’re planning on staying in this beautiful city for a few days, I’d highly recommend checking out some hotels in Liverpool .

If you’re planning to visit the city for the day, make sure to check out these best things to do in Liverpool.

One Day Liverpool Itinerary

Royal albert docks.

This complex of warehouses and dock buildings was opened in 1846. It now houses different cafes, restaurants and shops – making it a perfect place to wander around. You can also find the famous “The Beatles Story” here, making it the number one tourist attraction in Liverpool.

As well as the restaurants and shops, there is much more to enjoy at the Albert Docks. From statues and the many love locks to looking out over the River Mersey. Because a lot of the main touristy bits are located in this area, it’s a good place to start your day in Liverpool. Make sure to stop by for some delicious donuts as well 😉

Check out my guide to the best UK city breaks for more urban travel inspiration.

The Beatles Story

When you say Liverpool, you say Beatles. Coming from Liverpool, the Beatles have left their mark on the city and the music industry. It’s only understandable that many references from Beatles’ songs can be found in Liverpool. For £17, you can enter the Beatles Story (the museum) in which you can learn all about the history of this iconic band. Alternatively, you can enter the gift shop for free, or check out one of the Fab 4 Cafes that are scattered across the city.

And, of course, you cannot leave Liverpool without taking a quick snapshot of the Beatles’ statue. If you have time, pass by The Cavern Club (located on 10 Mathew Street). This club is known for the many shows The Beatles played there in their early years.

Panoramic 34

I’m a sucker for a good photography spot. And what better than seeing most of Liverpool from high up in the sky? Going for a drink or afternoon tea at Panoramic 34 is the perfect spot for it. At 300 feet above sea level, Panoramic 34 is one of the highest restaurants in the UK. Whether you are visiting during the day or in the evening, you are sure to find a breathtaking view across the city.

I decided to go with their afternoon tea, which consisted of a lovely variety of sweet and savoury snacks. The afternoon tea came with either coffee or tea and alongside the view, it was completely worth it. If you’re planning on visiting yourself, I’d recommend reserving a table to avoid disappointment.

Central Library

The central library in Liverpool is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Even though libraries may not be your idea of an exciting thing to see – it is worth popping in for a quick look. Especially if you like photography. The glass interior and the stairs make up for a perfect photography shot.

It’s located near Liverpool Lime Street train station – so if you’re travelling by train, it’s a great first stop of the day. Near the library, you can also find the World Museum. It is filled with five floors of interactive history. Perfect for a rainy day – which Liverpool gets quite often 😉

Liverpool Cathedral

If you don’t have time to visit Panoramic34 but do want to look at the city from above, check out Liverpool Cathedral. Open every day from 8 AM till 6 PM, the cathedral welcomes people to climb the tower and enjoy the view. Entree is free.

Ropes and Twines (Bold Street)

Bold Street in Liverpool is filled with the cutest coffee shops, shops and restaurants. As you may know, I’m quite a sucker for a good independent coffee shop. One to check out is Ropes and Twines . Apart from serving a variety of speciality coffees, they have a great wine selection.

It’s a perfect place to end your day in Liverpool after wandering around Bold Street. They serve sandwiches and do a brilliant cheese plate (perfect with a glass one wine!).

I had such a lovely time in Liverpool for the day! I’d love to go back sometime for a bit longer than just the day – but it just shows you how much fun you can have in a city nearby. You don’t always have to travel thousands of miles to have a good time. There are so many good places just around the corner. I hope this Liverpool itinerary has helped you plan your next trip!

Nele (Nay-la) graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with an English and Creative Writing Degree and has lived in the UK for nearly 10 years. She has had an interest in Japan and its culture for as long as she can remember. Since her first trip in 2018 surpassed all expectations, she has continued to return to Japan to explore more of all it has got to offer. You can read her full story here .

I went to Liverpool last year and I loved it. It was charming in a lot of ways and quite different to what I was expecting. I really wish I’d been to Panoramic 34 because that place looks amazing! Is it expensive? I’ll have to scope it out if I ever go back x

It’s such a great city ^^ It was definitely not cheap, but with a view like that – it’s worth it 😀 I paid £25 for the entire thing, which really isn’t too bad I think 🙂

Nice post introducing Liverpool! I’ve never been but it looks like a delightful time.

Next time, show the donut 😉 (click bait) hehe.

Thanks for sharing! Xx

Head across the River Mersey to enjoy Liverpool’s skyline (amazing at night!).

19 Things to do in Liverpool (+ map & tips)

By: Author Tracy Collins

Posted on Last updated: June 4, 2023

Planning a visit to the English city of Liverpool? In this article, you will discover 19 of the best things to do and see. We have included practical tips to ensure you make the most of your visit.

Liverpool is a city defined by its maritime history and rich artistic culture. Its metropolitan area is the fifth largest in the UK and boasts a population of over 2 million people.

Of course, Liverpool is the proud home of The Beatles — but it’s so much more. Its museums, architecture, art galleries and music are some of the best and most exciting in the world. Don’t forget its outdoor spaces and coastline.

When visiting Liverpool, there is so much to see and do, how do you choose? In this article you will find the top Liverpool attractions that offer something for absolutely everyone.

Many of these attractions are free so too so if you are budget conscious you can plan your itinerary to include a mix of activities to lessen costs.

You will also find useful information about the best tours available in the city, where to eat in Liverpool as well as the best accommodation options to meet a range of budgets.

Tip – If you want to see the best of the city in a day consider taking jumping on the Liverpool open-bus tour which covers the highlights of the city including famous sites connected with the Beatles.

1. The Mersey Ferries

2. the cavern club, 3. radio city tower / st. john’s beacon, 4. liverpool cathedral, 6. the royal albert dock, 7. merseyside maritime museum, 8. tate liverpool, 9. the beatles story, 10. sefton park, 11. world museum, 12. shopping on bold street, 13. walker art gallery, 14. liverpool one, 15. the baltic triangle, 16. lennon and mccartney’s childhood homes, 17. the sudley house, 18. the williamson tunnels, 19. superlambanana, where to stay in liverpool – accommodation options, where to eat in liverpool, best tours of liverpool, best beatles tours of liverpool, things to read, watch and listen to before you visit liverpool, map of liverpool, enjoy your visit to liverpool, things to do in liverpool.

Ferry ‘cross the Mersey? Yes, please. Taking a voyage on the wildly colourful Mersey Ferry is one of the most fun things to do in Liverpool.

These 50-minute long sightseeing cruises give visitors a unique riverside perspective of the city’s iconic landmarks and skyline. Expert commentary plays overhead and explains all the sights while you sit back and relax.

If the sea air is a bit nippy, there’s a café on board that offers hot drinks and snacks. As an added bonus, you can hop on and hop off at the Seacombe and Woodside ferry terminals.

Book your ticket for the ferry only or combine a Mersey Ferry ride with other Liverpool attractions like the city tour bus and the Liverpool Cathedral Tower Experience.

In the early 60s, the epicentre of beat music was The Cavern Club, a cosy underground jazz and skiffle room. A little band called The Quarrymen rocked its stage, honing their skills before launching themselves into history as The Beatles.

Though today’s Cavern Club is not the original, visiting it is still one of the best things to do in Liverpool. Now, all under one roof, you’ll find the Cavern Club, the Cavern Lounge and the Cavern Pub. There’s even a restaurant on site.

Bands play daily, and every Saturday there’s a Beatles tribute band who’ll knock your socks off. Bring a pen and sign your name on those famous walls. Children should visit during the day only, as there is a strict 18-and-over policy after 8:00 p.m.

You can find more about the Beatles in my complete Liverpool itinerary for Beatles fans .

There are so many things to see in Liverpool — why not see them all at once from the 452-foot-tall Radio City Tower? There are a whopping 558 steps to reach the top, but don’t worry, there are two elevators as well.

At the top, you’ll find an observation deck with stunning views of Liverpool and beyond. This family-friendly must-do is open from 10:15 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.

The moment you walk into the Liverpool Cathedral — the biggest Anglican Cathedral in Europe — you’ll be awestruck. The soaring ceilings, the wide Gothic arches, that giant organ which is the UK’s largest — it’s architecturally magnificent and spiritually inspiring all at once.

It took 74 years to build and was finally finished in 1978. Want to really be wowed? Do the Tower Experience. Two elevators and 108 steps up and you’ll be treated to some of the most spectacular views of the city while learning about the life of a bell ringer.

Visiting the Liverpool Cathedral is free, however, there is a fee for the Tower Experience. Check their website for details.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a diehard Liverpool F.C. supporter or someone who can’t tell a punt from a penalty kick. Taking a tour of Anfield, the seventh largest football stadium in England is a deep dive into the local culture. See the bright green magnificence of the pitch. Go behind the scenes into the dressing rooms and press room.

A visit to the museum is included in your tour — just try not to gasp when you see those 6 glittering European cups. Out of all the things to do in Liverpool, this one’s a must-do for sports fans. The tour lasts 60 minutes and is suitable for all ages.

This waterfront, multi-use attraction is where Liverpool’s past meets its present.

Only decades ago, Albert Dock had fallen into disrepair after enjoying years as an international hub of sea trading. It has since been revitalized with a modern flair and now offers a whole vacation’s worth of entertainment.

The Tate Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the Beatles Story Museum are just the beginning. There’s also shopping, bars and restaurants. Stay the whole day and don’t miss the sunset! It’s glorious.

One of the coolest things to do in Liverpool is to visit the Merseyside Maritime Museum . It’s a family-friendly celebration of the city’s sea-trading past. Step inside and see how Liverpool’s docks of yesterday — now buzzing with modern museums and shops — were thriving places of industry and international commerce.

There are four floors packed with nautical history. See full-sized vessels and countless exhibits featuring model ships and items salvaged from shipwrecks. Hear the tragic stories of the Titanic and Lusitania.

This museum is actually two museums in one. On the third floor is the National Slavery Museum, which illuminates the history and impact of the transatlantic slave trade. This day of learning and fun is located conveniently at the Royal Albert Dock and is free.

If you love modern and contemporary art, a visit to the Tate Liverpool is absolutely in order. One of the many attractions you’ll find at the Royal Albert Dock, this free-entry museum aims at an audience who likes their art a little whimsical, colourful and inexplicable.

The building, a repurposed warehouse, is large and has four floors to explore. They also host a wide variety of temporary exhibits which may charge admission. Check their website to see what’s there.

No visit to Liverpool is complete without a great big dose of the city’s favourite sons. The Beatles Story, the world’s largest permeant Beatles exhibition, is a fun way to immerse yourself in all things Beatles. It takes roughly an hour and a half to visit this underground museum located at the Royal Albert Dock.

Colourful exhibits tell the whole story of John, Paul, George and Ringo. Amazing recreations of the Casbah Club and the original Cavern Club are highlights. Check online for opening times and to buy tickets.

If you are a Beatles fan you may enjoy reading my complete Liverpool itinerary for Beatle lovers.

Picture a 200-acre public park with oceans of flowers in the springtime and paths lit by old fashioned lampposts. That’s Sefton Park, in the south of Liverpool, and it’s the pride of the locals.

There is a picturesque boating lake surrounded by shady British trees. Look for the famous Palm House — a recently restored glass building that looks like something out of a fairy tale. Wear comfy shoes, because you could spend the whole day wandering the charming paths of Sefton Park.

If you’re looking for a museum that truly has something for everyone, then head on over to Liverpool’s World Museum. Explore ancient Egypt or take a tour of the award-winning Clore Natural History Centre — they have over 20,000 natural science items from all over the globe.

For those human history buffs who enjoy interactive fun, there’s the Weston Discovery Centre. Is an aquarium or a planetarium more your speed? They’ve got those too! Plan to spend several hours at this family-friendly museum. Best of all —admission is free. Open daily 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

In the mood for a little shopping and people watching? Take a stroll down to Bold Street. There are enough funky boutiques, vintage clothing stores, coffee shops and quirky street performers to keep you entertained for hours.

If you’re an international food fan, Bold Street’s mouth-watering selection of fare includes South American, German, Mexican, Thai, Indian and others.

Oh, and those visitors interested in the paranormal might want to take note — Bold Street has a peculiar reputation for “time slips,” where unsuspecting shoppers suddenly find themselves in the 50s or 60s before being snapped back to the present. Sound too weird to believe?

Maybe it’s just a bunch of fun urban legends. Still, shopping, dining and time travel sounds like a pretty fun afternoon, right?

Looking for another one of those free things to do in Liverpool? Check out the Walker Art Gallery. This 130-year-old museum contains an immense collection of art that would rival those found in the world’s cultural capitals.

Their painting collection includes masterworks from the likes of Rembrandt and Monet. There’s also a sculpture garden and decorative art collection that are not to be missed.

If you’ve got small children with you, visit Big Art for Little Artists — a gallery designed for tots up to 8-years-old with a focus on stories and hands-on fun. While the museum is free, there may be a charge for special exhibitions. Open daily 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

How does a mega-huge shopping extravaganza sound? Liverpool ONE is a retail complex right in the middle of Liverpool city centre that boasts over 170 stores, restaurants and bars — but that’s just the beginning.

There’s a five-acre park, a multi-screen movie theatre and an indoor golf course. This open-air leisure destination always has extra events going on, so check online to see what’s happening.

Where do the young, hip, creative types hang out in Liverpool? The Baltic Triangle, of course. This fast-growing hive of art venues, start-ups, funky restaurants and bars is a raw and edgy destination.

Back in the day, this area’s rusted-out warehouses and dilapidated buildings were a crumbling reminder of Liverpool’s more troubled times. Now, this area’s been transformed into a modern cradle of coolness.

So grab a couple of foodie friends and check out the wild street murals and art galleries on your way to some alternative dining. Getting there is either a short taxi ride or a 15-minute walk from Liverpool ONE.

Travel via minibus back in time to visit the Beatles’ homes before they were Beatles. It’s a combined tour of John Lennon’s Mendips — where he lived with his Aunt Mimi — and Paul McCartney’s post-war home at 20 Forthlin Road. Both are pristine, just as they would have been when the boys were mere lads.

These suburban homes are small and humble but provide a fascinating insight into the men who would become the world’s most influential songwriters. Get your ticket to the Beatles homes here.

Ever wonder how the elite Liverpool merchants of the 19th century lived? Travel just 20 minutes out of the city to find the Sudley House, a fully preserved glimpse into the Victorian past. Be greeted by videos of costumed reenactors telling their stories of what life inside the mansion was actually like.

See original furnishings and décor along with a collection of paintings that would make most museums jealous. You’ll see works by Turner, Rossetti, Landseer and Gainsborough, just to name a few. Children will enjoy running about the grounds, as well as the charming café that opens out into a garden.

Admission is free. The Sudley House is open daily 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

How does touring a mysterious underground network of tunnels built by an eccentric old Victorian sound? The Williamson Tunnels are the most enigmatic attraction in Liverpool. Was wealthy industrialist Joseph Williamson prepping for the end of days? Was he trying to keep Liverpool gainfully employed? Was he just mad?

Take a tour with an expert guide and maybe you’ll be the one to solve this Liverpool mystery. Tours begin at the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre and last about 45 minutes.

This tour is not for those with mobility issues. You can buy tickets at the door or purchase them at least one day in advance online.

What happens when a temporary and rather quirky 8-ton sculpture unexpectedly captures the heart of Liverpool?

It becomes a symbol of the city, of course! Introducing Superlambanana, the giant half-lamb, half-banana made of concrete and fibreglass and painted an amazing shade of yellow.

Given that Liverpool’s port welcomed both bananas and sheep, the result is the Superlambanana, artist Taro Chiezo’s comment about genetic engineering.

It has spawned mini versions all over the city painted in a variety of themes and eye-catching colors. The original now lives at 79 Tithebarn Street and is a fun sight to behold.

There are lots of accommodation options in Liverpool to suit all budgets. These are my selections based on budget, mid-range and luxury options and the ultimate hotel for Beatles fans too!

BEST HOTEL FOR BEATLES FANS

If you are a fan of the Beatles the best hotel to stay at is the Hard Day’s Night Hotel. It is literally around the corner from the Cavern Club. There is Beatles memorabilia and decor and every room is themed too.

We stayed at the Hard Day’s Night Hotel on our last trip to Liverpool and we highly recommend it.

BEST MID-RANGE HOTEL IN LIVERPOOL

The Liner Hotel is a 3-star ocean liner-themed hotel with modern rooms, an on-site brasserie and a cocktail lounge.

BEST BUDGET HOTEL IN LIVERPOOL

The Z Hotel in Liverpool is an excellent budget option. The rooms are compact but there is a cafe and free WiFi for guests.

There are loads of fantastic restaurants in Liverpool. These are my top recommendations!

Mowgli specialises in Indian street food and is a very popular restaurant so book if you plan to eat there!

Book a table – Mowgli Street Foo d

WETHERSPOONS

Weatherspoons are a pub chain providing budget food options (as well as drinks ). They are immensely popular in the UK and usually really busy, especially on evenings and weekends.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner this gastropub offers lots of options (the menus are the same in every one of the 920 Weatherspoon’s spread across the UK)

You will find Weatherspoon’s in all sorts of buildings and there are 12 in Liverpool so chances are you will come across one or two!

Liverpool Day Trip: The Perfect 1 Day in Liverpool Itinerary

Table of Contents

Planning a day trip to Liverpool? Great shout! This is one of my favourite cities in the UK . Although you could spend much longer, 1 day in Liverpool makes for a fantastic introduction. From the Beatles to the Titanic, Liverpool’s iconic history and connection to pop culture put it on the map. However, it’s a vibrant and cosmopolitan city in its own right. In particular, the Royal Albert Docks give the city a bright, outdoorsy feel with sea views. Since I have friends and family in Manchester , I’ve taken more than one day trip to Liverpool in the last few years. I love revisiting the same places and finding new, cool spots.

LIVERPOOL ESSENTIALS Accommodation:  Booking.com // Hostelworld Activities:  GetYourGuide Getting there: Air ( Skyscanner ) train ( Trainline ), bus ( Busbud ) Getting around: Foot / bus / Uber

When to visit Liverpool

It goes without saying that the summer months have the best weather. Liverpool is renowned for being rainy during autumn and winter but if you pack waterproof shoes and an umbrella, you’ll be fine.

Visiting out of season? Here’s what to do in Liverpool during winter

Something to note is that many of the museums and galleries are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I’d really recommend visiting from Wednesday to Sunday to make the most of the city. Of course, if you hate crowds, avoid Liverpool at the weekend.

Getting to Liverpool

By train: this is usually the quickest way to get to Liverpool. Prices from Manchester to Liverpool Lime Street station start at £2 each way! Search for tickets on Trainline . By bus: Although buses usually take a bit longer in England , you can get super cheap tickets. Book bus tickets with Busbud . By car: Liverpool is an expensive city for parking. The most central option is Liverpool ONE shopping centre (£19 for 12 hours). If you don’t mind a walk, park along Otterspool Promenade for free and walk into town along the riverfront. It’s a few kilometers but completely flat. On a Sunday, there’s free parking on Bold Street and Rodney Street.

Getting around Liverpool

It’s easy to explore Liverpool on foot. If you’re feeling lazy, hop on a bus. Another tourist-friendly option is taking the Liverpool hop-on-hop-off bus tour .

What type of Liverpool itinerary is this?

This is a fast-paced itinerary for those exploring Liverpool for the first time. I’d recommend arriving as early as you can as there’s quite a bit to cover. Customise this 1 day Liverpool itinerary by choosing the museums and galleries you’re most interested in and set your own pace. If you’re speedy, you can probably do three museums but if you like to take your time, just do one thoroughly.

1 day in Liverpool highlights

• Royal Albert Dock
• Museums (pick 1-3)
• The Waterfront

Queen Avenue

• Mathew Street (Wall of Fame & Cavern Club)
• The Bluecoats (gallery)
• Chinatown & the Bombed Out Church
• Dinner (keep reading for options).

Liverpool itinerary: Morning at the Royal Albert Dock

I’d suggest beginning your day here. If you’ve arrived by train, walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station to the Royal Albert Dock in 20 minutes. Although there’s plenty to do in terms of culture and history, let’s start this Liverpool day trip the right way with…

Coffee & pastries at Rough Hand Made

Although I sniffed out this place by myself (if you don’t believe food hunting is my special skill, check out my foodie archives ), TWO Liverpudlians have told me about it since. Rough Hand Made is apparently a local institution, describing itself as a ’boutique bakery’. I don’t think I’ve ever seen bigger croissants, or ones stuffed and slathered with more delicious ingredients. I opted for a white chocolate croissant with flakes on top and liquid white chocolate inside. Other decadent options include dulce de leche croissants. This cafe beside the water also serves excellent coffee, as well as sandwiches and pizza slices. Address: Unit 2A, Britannia Pavilion Royal Albert Dock, L3 4AD.

Visit 1-2 museums

Although all the waterfront museums are worth a visit, with just one day in Liverpool you won’t be able to visit them all. I’d suggest picking two you’re interested in and spending around 90 minutes at each. The most popular museums at the docks are:

• The Museum of Liverpool (free)
• TATE Liverpool (free)
• Merseyside Maritime Museum (free)
• The Beatles Story (£17)
• The British Music Experience (£16).

If you’re unsure which to visit, here are more details…

Museum of Liverpool

The Museum of Liverpool makes for a great introduction if it’s your first time in the city. This colourful, interactive centre covers everything Liverpool-related from archaeology to social history, community, suffragettes and the Beatles. Ever-changing exhibitions include Liverpool Against the Apartheid (how the city’s Black community supported the anti-apartheid movement in the ’80s) and Blitzed: Liverpool Lives (personal stories about the Blitz in Liverpool). Opening times: 10am-6pm, Tuesday-Sunday. Entry price: free!

Beatles Story

Beside the Royal Albert Dock is this iconic museum dedicated to the fab four. The Beatles Story covers the history of the band from their humble beginnings to international stardom. Admire replicas of Abbey Road Studios and The Cavern Club as they’d have looked in the ’60s, listen to an informative audio guide, and travel to another time and place via the Beatles in India exhibition. Opening times: 10am-5.30pm (last entry 4pm) daily. Entry fee: £17 for adults, £13.50 for concessions, £9.50 for children. Get your Beatles Story ticket here .

Maritime Museum

Where better to learn about Liverpool’s maritime history than the Docks? During the 19th century, Liverpool was the wealthiest port in the world; there are countless tales to be told from this era. Visit the Titanic collection to learn more about the famous ship registered to Liverpool, and the Life on Board gallery as told by past passengers. Opening times: 10am-6pm, Tuesday-Sunday. Entry price: free!

TATE Liverpool

The Tate is worth a visit while spending a day in Liverpool. The colourful stone sculpture outside is a prelude to the many vibrant and thought-provoking works of art inside. I especially enjoyed the Whose Tradition? collection rethinking how artists like Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brancusi took inspiration from Central and West African cultures which were not necessarily theirs to take. 2023 update – this specific exhibition is now over but I’m sure there will be more like it. Opening times: 10am–5:50pm, Tuesday-Sunday. Entry fee: Free but you need to book an arrival slot in advance.

British Music Experience

The British Music Experience in the impressive Cunard Building explores the iconic history of British rock and pop. Voted Liverpool’s Tourism Experience of the Year in 2020, it’s a must for music fans regardless of age or era. See outfits worn by Freddie Mercury and the Spice Girls, instruments played by world-famous musicians and even Adele’s hand-written lyrics. Opening times: 10am-5pm, Wednesday-Sunday. Entry fee: £16 for adults, £10 for children, £11.50 for concessions. Get your British Music Experience ticket here .

Wander the Waterfront

When you’ve had your fill of museums, continue your Liverpool itinerary by wandering the waterfront. This area is particularly enjoyable on a sunny day when live musicians play and boat trips cruise the harbour. Related activity: 50-minute harbour cruise for £11 . A few iconic waterfront buildings to see include… The Three Graces: this trio of buildings includes the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building. These are some of the grandest and most striking buildings in the city.

Mann Island : this distinctive black building at Liverpool waterfront has apartments, a restaurant and a small art gallery inside. It’s free to enter so pop inside to visit the Open Eye Gallery .

By this point, you’ll have spent several hours at the waterfront so it’s time to explore other parts of Liverpool. Walk just 10 minutes to Queen Avenue off Castle Street, a hidden shopping street dubbed the ‘Diagon Alley of Liverpool’. Support local business by browsing the shops or stopping for lunch at Queen Bistro .

Foodie pick – another fantastic place for lunch is Chop Chop Korean just across from Queen Avenue. This cafe is known for its delicious and affordable Korean food.

Liverpool itinerary afternoon – Mathew Street’s Beatles locations

You can’t spend 1 day in Liverpool and miss Mathew Street, put on the map by the Cavern Club where the Beatles played their early gigs. There are a few points of interest for fans including…

The Eleanor Rigby Statue

Located on Stanley Street just before the turning to Mathew Street, the Eleanor Rigby Statue is worth a quick stop. This sculpture of the fictional woman namechecked on the Yellow Submarine album was built in 1982 by singer, Tommy Steele. Turn onto Mathew Street to see the following…

Cavern Club

At number 10 Mathew Street is the venue described as the ‘birthplace of the Beatles’. The Cavern Club started life as a jazz club in the 1950s before switching to a rock ‘n’ roll venue. After returning from Hamburg in 1931, the Beatles played their first of 292 shows at the Cavern Club. You can go inside for a drink or night out but know you won’t be rubbing shoulders with the locals. The clientele is strictly tourists!

The Wall of Fame

In front of the Cavern Club is a wall adorned with the names of famous bands who played at the club. Don’t miss the chance to pose with the lifesize statue of John Lennon! As you’ll read, the bar beside it named the ‘Wall of Fame’ has no affiliation to the historic wall.

Beatles Museum

The Beatles Museum is another place to learn about everyone’s favourite Liverpudlian band. Tour five floors containing over 1,000 rare items relating to John, George, Ringo and Paul. You’d have to be a super fan to visit the Beatles Story AND the Beatles Museum during a day trip to Liverpool (and probably wouldn’t have time to do much else) but I bet people do! Entry fee: £15 for adults, £10 for concessions, £7.50 for children. Opening times: 10am-5pm, 7 days a week. Last admission at 4pm. Get your Beatles Museum ticket here .

Mid-afternoon – the Bluecoat

Before finishing your Liverpool day trip, squeeze in a quick trip to the Bluecoat . This hidden gem near Liverpool ONE shopping centre is an alternative art gallery with a cafe and lovely outdoor square. Sitting with a coffee listening to the birds sing is a peaceful experience in otherwise busy Liverpool city centre. This independent venue started life as a boarding school for poor children. Now the oldest building in Liverpool city centre, it’s also one of the most captivating. Tour exhibitions by local artists, many with a social conscience. Address: School Lane, L1 3BX. Opening times: 11am-5pm, Wednesday-Sunday. Entry fee: free!

Dinner option #1 – Chinatown

While spending 1 day in Liverpool, be sure to visit Chinatown , home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe (something you’ll know if you were paying attention at the museums earlier!). Shop at Chung Wah supermarket or eat a fantastic meal at one of the many highly-rated restaurants. Chamber 36  serves pan-Asian cuisine and cocktails while Yuet Ben has been serving authentic Northern Chinese cuisine since 1968. A couple of other places of interest near Chinatown include:

• The Bombed Out Church (St Luke’s) – this church on the corner of Berry Street and Leece Street is now a cultural arts centre, cafe and garden bar. Visit ’til 10.30pm.
• Rodney Street – hidden away from the city centre, this grand street of houses is one of the most historic places in Liverpool. For TV filming , the paved road is removed to reveal atmospheric cobbles beneath. Stroll down it to see where Peaky Blinders was shot.

Dinner option #2 – Duke Street Market

A handful of cool Liverpool food markets have sprung up in the last couple of years. One is Duke Street Market , a stylish food court with seating upstairs and downstairs. Eat tacos and burritos at Big Lola’s or Asian bowls at Ginger . It’s not the cheapest place to eat but it’s not the most expensive either: most main dishes are around £12. They also serve excellent coffee and cake, plus a huge range of drinks. Food times: Weds & Thurs ’til 9pm, Fri & Sat ’til 10pm and Sun ’til 8pm. From Weds to Sun, it stays open later but just for drinks.

Dinner option #3 – the Baltic Market

For hipster dinner and drinks, finish your Liverpool day trip by walking 20 minutes from Chinatown to the Baltic Market , a colourful indoor marketplace popular with young people. Don’t expect anything gourmet but do expect excellent cocktails and fun foodie options like pizza, f ried chicken and Greek, Korean and Thai food. My friend and I shared halloumi fries and chicken katsu curry fries before I moved onto pad Thai and she ordered (much too much) Greek food including tzatziki, pitta, chicken souvlaki and, perhaps the highlight, feta rolls glazed with honey. What a feast! We spent about £20 each including drinks. Opening times: 5pm-10pm Weds & Thurs; 12pm-11pm Fri; 11am-11pm Sat; 11am-10pm Sun. Tip – the Baltic Market is quite far from Lime Street Station so I’d recommend calling an Uber on the way home. Liverpool is a safe city but it’s never fun walking at night especially as the market isn’t in the best-lit part of town.

I ended my day in Liverpool by hopping on a 9pm train arriving back in Manchester for 10pm. It was a busy day but worth it. Safe travels!

4 thoughts on “ Liverpool Day Trip: The Perfect 1 Day in Liverpool Itinerary ”

I’m usually left unsatisfied by one-day tours that I read, because I feel like they don’t cover a lot of ground, but I loved reading this one! I’m hoping I can squeeze it all into my day and I can’t wait to get to Liverpool 🙂

Hi Al, thanks for reading and commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed the itinerary and hope you love Liverpool… It’s a great city!

This was a perfect 1 day itinerary! Let me say Rose does not lead you a stray with her food recommendations! We started our morning with a pastry and coffee from Rough Home Made, which gave us an opportunity to visit the docks, stroll by the waterfront and power up for the British Museum Experience. The BME was a fun experience with some great artifacts. However, several major British artists were not represented or barely mentioned such as Led Zeppelin (1 mention), Elton John (3 pairs of glasses), Rolling Stones (minimum mentions), The Police (no mention), Adele (1 mention) and a little disappointing. However, Joe who was in the “play” section was a wonderful ambassador and gave us tons of stories and information. We walked down Queen Anne Street and then over to the Cavern Club. Be aware that the original Cavern Club no longer exists. It was rebuilt a few doors up and cost £5 to go into. Lastly, we went in search of Chinatown. On our walk, we passed the Duke Street Market that was inviting, but we pressed ahead. We found the gate, but the holy grail is across the street…..Chamber 36! The pan-asian food is delicious there was not an item that we did not like and the service was like a neighborhood hangout! It was an outstanding experience! Thanks Rose for all the wonderful recommendations. we enjoyed our visit to Liverpool!

Hi Karen, wow thanks for such a detailed comment! I’m so glad you had a good day and especially that you enjoyed the food suggestions. Rough Hand Made have the best croissants ever!!

Getting to Liverpool

Liverpool is really well connected by road, train, bus and air,

Driving into Liverpool

Liverpool is easily accessed from all around the country via the M6 . As you get close to Liverpool, be sure to take the Mersey Flow Liverpool Toll Bridge to help make your entry into Liverpool quicker, just don’t forget to pay online afterwards.

There are plenty of car parks in Liverpool , especially Q Parks so you’ll find somewhere central to park in the city no problem, just note that the city centre parking isn’t cheap!

Train into Liverpool

Liverpool has 2 central train stations – Liverpool Central and Liverpool Lime Street . Getting the train will help you start your Liverpool city break with ease as you’ll arrive right in the city centre.

I always use The Train Line to check train timetables and make my bookings.

Check out trains to Liverpool on The Train Line here!

Bus into Liverpool

Liverpool is well connected by bus and if you’re looking to do a Liverpool trip from London on a budget, getting the bus is the best option!

All buses whether they are local buses or national buses will go to Liverpool One which is the city centre.

Flying into Liverpool

Liverpool also has an airport . It’s not as big as nearby Manchester Airport but many European flights do land here and it’s just 30 minutes from the city centre with a regular Airport to City bus schedule .

If you are visiting Liverpool from overseas, instead of looking into flying into London and then travelling up to Liverpool, I suggest checking flights into Liverpool , or Manchester!

Check out flights to Liverpool on Skyscanner here!

Getting Around Liverpool

Liverpool is a very compact and walkable city so for your day trip to Liverpool you will be fine walking everywhere and won’t need to work out any public transport once in the city centre.

Liverpool Sightseeing Bus

If you have difficulties walking far, or your time in Liverpool is very limited, I do suggest booking a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tour .

I saw many of these buses driving around on my day in Liverpool recently and they are a great way to see the top Liverpool attractions whilst taking it easy and not needing to walk far.

This Beatles sightseeing bus is particularly popular too!

A Day in Liverpool

Ok now let’s get into ways to spend a day in Liverpool and how to visit Liverpool in one day.

Remember, I’m going to give you a few different options as you can’t do everything in Liverpool in 1 day so you can decide what attracts you most to Liverpool, whether it be the football, music, shopping, the docks and focus your Liverpool one day itinerary around this.

One Day Liverpool Itinerary

As with all day trips, the earlier you get to Liverpool the better so you can spend a full one day there!

Morning – Breakfast in a cool cafe

There are so many places to get a great breakfast or brunch in Liverpool and don’t think of this as wasting part of your day in Liverpool because going to one of these cafes or restaurants is bound to give you a good feel for the city.

I went to Bold Street Coffee on Bold Street for my recent breakfast in Liverpool and I loved the vibe, especially on a weekday.

Here are more breakfast and brunch places to visit in Liverpool !

Morning – Start with a Football Tour

If you’re coming to Liverpool for football, you can book a tour of Anfield Stadium and they start at 10:00 am so visiting as you arrive in Liverpool is a great idea (especially if you are driving to Liverpool).

As with all football stadium tours, they have to work around the matches so check in advance if the day you plan to travel to Liverpool has football stadium tours and availability.

All Anfield Stadium Tours and activities:

If you’re not into football or not a Liverpool fan, I did a tour of Old Trafford stadium tour in Manchester and even though I’m not a big football fan, it was really great to see the stadium with no one else there and access parts you can only visit on a tour like the changing rooms!

Mid-morning – Royal Albert Docks

The benefit of visiting a city like Liverpool for one day over a city like Manchester is that you can go to the Liverpool Docks, see the iconic red brick and red pillar buildings and straight away feel like you’ve been to Liverpool and this place is so famous !

The first place I recommend you visit in Liverpool is t he Royal Albert Docks . There are plenty of places to get coffee and food here as well so you could start your day in Liverpool here.

Rough Hand Made is a bakery I recommend, they make fresh pastries and bread onsite on the day and are right on the water. It is best to go early to get more options.

Museums in Royal Albert Dock

There are a number of great museums in Liverpool to visit and many are just a few minutes from each other around Albert Docks:

• Maritime Museum
• Tate Liverpool
• The Beatles Story Exhibition / Museum
• British Museum Experience

Mid-Morning – Mersey Ferry Boat Cruise

Going on a Mersey Ferry Cruise is one of the best things to do in Liverpool and it makes sense to go during your one day in Liverpool whilst you are exploring the docks as this is where it departs from.

The terminal is located next to the Museum of Liverpool and ferries run pretty much every hour on the hour.

I do recommend booking a ticket in advance , especially on the weekend and you can buy tickets online here for the same price as in the terminal. You don’t pre-book a set time either, just a ticket to use any time that day.

I recommend getting to the terminal 20 minutes before the next scheduled departure because it does get busy and it’s first come first on the next ferry departure.

The River Cruise is 50 minutes , it takes you over to the Seacombe ferry terminal first which is the side of the Wirral and you can disembark here for a bit if you want.

If you are on looking for things to do in Liverpool with children , Eureka Science Museum aimed at children is next to Seacombe Port and a good place to visit whilst on your day trip to Liverpool with kids.

But, with just 1 day in Liverpool, it might be best to stay onboard and enjoy the views of the River Mersey and Liverpool City for 50 minutes.

The easiest way to book your Liverpool sightseeing tickets in advance:

Lunch Option – On the Docks

There are lots of places to get lunch at the Royal Albert Docks , there are food vans and cafes attached to the museums and the river ferry port for a quick and easy lunch.

Lunch Option – Duke Street Food Market

But, if you can wait, after the Docks, head into Liverpool One a few minutes walk away and go to Duke Street Food Market .

There are a few street food markets in Liverpool, Baltic Market is another popular one but Baltic Market is a bit further out of the city centre and only open in the evenings so it doesn’t work well for a day trip to Manchester, hence my recommendation for Duke Street Food Market.

Duke Street Food Market offers 6-7 restaurants of different cuisines to order from but everyone sits together in the middle.

Lunch Option – Water Street

Another option for lunch in Liverpool is on Water Street which is also close to the Docks. Water Street is one of the famous streets in Liverpool for films being shot here .

There are many places to eat in Liverpool on Water Street , mainly chain restaurants and the ones I recommend are Mowgli Street Food and Rudy’s Pizza .

After visiting Water Street, don’t leave without finding Queens Ave on the attached street. This is a small arcade which is beautiful and easily one of the hidden gems in Liverpool !

Mid Afternoon – Shopping in Liverpool One

Liverpool is known for its shopping and I must say, I prefer the shopping here to Manchester.

Liverpool has so many sides and the Liverpool One shopping district really reflects this. Some shopping streets are older and not so nice to walk along but if you seek out John Lewis, Harvey Nichlos and Peters Lane shopping street you’ll find some nice areas and more upmarket shops to browse.

Mid Afternoon – St Johns Beacon Tower

Radio Tower can be seen all over Liverpool City and going to the top is one of the top things to do in Liverpool and top Liverpool attractions !

Whilst many locals will call it Radio Tower , the viewing platform is called St Johns Beacon where an elevator will take you all the way to the top for a 360 view of the city which I recommend on your one day in. Liverpool! You can buy tickets online or once you arrive.

Mid Afternoon – Churches & Cathedrals

Liverpool has 2 impressive cathedrals and an impressive Church all within walking distance from one another and you don’t have to be religious to appreciate them.

Liverpool Cathedral is the big red Cathedral you’ll see perched up high on the hill whilst walking around Liverpool, you can enter for free and go up to the tower for £6.00,

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is a modern and unique-looking building and very cool to visit, you can go inside for £5.00 pp.

The Bombed Out Cathedral is only open for events and is not a working cathedral but located at the top of Bold Street, it’s worth having a look in through the fence to see this historic building which was bombed in World War 2 and now acts as an open-air venue in Liverpool.

Evening – Dinner on Bold Street

Bold Street is a great place to go for dinner in Liverpool, especially if you are finishing your day in Liverpool by getting the train from Liverpool Central Station as Bold Street is just next door .

Bold Street is a street full of restaurants offering fairly casual dining with cuisines around the world from Greek, Persian, Arab, Indian and more.

Elif, Bakchich and Leaf are the best Bold Street restaurants I was given on Instagram when I recently spent a weekend in Liverpoo l .

If you are looking for halal food in Liverpool , Bold Street is where you’ll find it!

Evening – Fancy Dinner in Liverpool

If you are looking for a more fancy dinner in Liverpool to end your day in Liverpool on a high, here are my recommendations:

• The London Carriage Works
• Marco Pierre White Steakhouse
• Gino D’Acampo

Late Evening – Drinks at Gino D’Acampo Sky Bar 360

After dinner, we went to watch the sunset here and it was such a great way to end our day in Liverpool so I really recommend checking out the 360 Sky Bar Liverpool too!

Late Evening – Theatre and Shows

Liverpool is known for its theatres and shows so if you are looking for things to do in Liverpool at night, check out what the Liverpool Theatres have on offer!

Best Hotels in Liverpool

If you’re staying for 24 hours in Liverpool and need a hotel rather than doing a day trip to Liverpool, I recommend staying central within the city.

On my recent visit to Liverpool I stayed at School Lane Hotel which I really recommend for a Liverpool city break. This is a brand new hotel in Liverpool One which is the very centre of Liverpool and the only independent hotel in Liverpool One.

This means School Lane Hotel has an amazing central location, less than a 5-minute walk from Liverpool Central Station and with shops and cafes directly outside of the hotel but, inside the hotel feels peaceful and modern and a great base to see the city from, especially with limited time.

Other city centre hotels in Liverpool I recommend are:

• Holiday Inn Liverpool City Centre – $$
• Novotel Liverpool Centre – $$
• Quest Liverpool City Centre – $$$
• INNSiDE by Meliá Liverpool – $$$
• Crowne Plaza Liverpool City Centre – $$$
• Hilton Liverpool City Centre – $$$
• The Municipal Hotel Liverpool – MGallery – $$$$

Ferry across the Mersey – and the other best ways to get around Liverpool

Aug 23, 2022 • 8 min read

With few hills and plenty of places to hire bikes, cyclists can glide across Liverpool © sturti / Getty Images

As one of England's greatest cities and one of the country's busiest ports,  Liverpool is awash with history, music, sport and wow-that's-beautiful architecture. Best of all, everything is easily accessible using public transport.

If you're staying in the heart of the city, get around under your own steam – Liverpool is endlessly walkable, cyclable and these days e-scooter-able – but for out-of-town sights and some farther-flung day trip destinations, the city's network of cheap, interconnected transport options mean you'll hardly ever need a car. 

Here’s how to get around Liverpool without a fuss.

Immerse yourself in the best experiences the world has to offer with our email newsletter delivered weekly into your inbox.

Walking around Liverpool couldn’t be easier

If you really want to get to know a city, explore it using your own two feet. Liverpool is wonderfully compact and safe to walk around – even at night if you’re sensible.

The waterfront is an especially nice place for a stroll, with the riverside promenade stretching for miles from Pier Head and the Albert Dock down to Aigburth and beyond. In the center, you might encounter a few hills, especially if you’re venturing up Duke Street towards the picture-perfect Georgian Quarter or to the Metropolitan Cathedral atop Mount Pleasant. In general, though, the city is relatively flat and extremely pleasant to stroll around.

Use the train to travel into and around Liverpool

The train is one of the best ways to access Liverpool. It’s well-connected to a number of other major cities, including London , Manchester , and York . What’s more, you’ll usually arrive at the rather grand Liverpool Lime Street – one of the world’s very first railway stations.

Merseyrail (part of the wider Merseytravel ) is Liverpool’s major train company and it runs regular services in and around the city. Despite the center’s manageable size, you might still want to hop between its four main stations if you’re on a tight schedule. Lime Street, Central, Moorfields and James Street stations are all conveniently positioned for the main attractions, with the latter just across the road from the British Music Experience and the Museum of Liverpool .

Hoping to explore one of Liverpool’s nearby beaches? The majority of them – including Crosby, Formby and New Brighton – are reachable by train. Services run regularly, too, and tickets are cheap as chips thanks to inexpensive rail passes like the Day Saver Ticket (more on that below).

Go green by taking the bus

Liverpool’s extensive network of bright-green Arriva buses is managed by Merseytravel. More than 30 routes fan out from the city’s two central bus stations: Liverpool ONE and Queen Square. There are maps, bus routes, and a journey planner on the Merseytravel website, with buses heading out as far as Speke (home to the historic Speke Hall ) and West Kirby.

Locals tend to use the buses a lot because they go to parts of the city inaccessible by train. Bus travel is one of the most eco-friendly ways to travel around Liverpool and several new, hydrogen-powered buses will be on the roads by the end of 2022.

Bus 500 goes from John Lennon Airport to Liverpool city center

Arriving into the city by air? The 500 double-decker bus (£4.50) goes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the city every 30 minutes between 4am and midnight.

Take the ferry for the best views of the Liverpool skyline

The River Mersey was once the city’s lifeline and continues to be a major source of attraction to this day. One of the nicest things to do in Liverpool – regardless of whether you want to get across the water – is to take a ferry from Pier Head to Woodside on the Wirral Peninsula.

There are several different ferries that cross the River Mersey , some of which are cheaper than others. The River Explorer Cruise is a popular pick for visitors and features informational commentary about the riverfront and its many famous buildings. Tickets cost £11 for adults and £7 for kids, and the full cruise takes just under an hour.

Want to get across to Woodside for less? The regular commuter ferry is £3.80 for an adult return and takes under 15 minutes.

Top tip: If you’ve got some time to kill before your return trip, check out Woodside Ferry Village . The modern food hall features a range of tempting independent stalls and an outdoor dining terrace with uninterrupted views of Liverpool’s skyline.

Can I get around Liverpool by bike?

Thanks to its vast waterfront promenade and numerous dedicated cycle lanes, Liverpool is an easy city to explore by bike.

Most of the key attractions, including Tate Liverpool , Liverpool Cathedral , and St George's Hall , have secure bike lockups next door or nearby. Cycling is additionally a brilliant way to access southern suburbs like Sefton Park. You can even take bikes on some ferries, giving you a great excuse to explore the Wirral coastline.

CityBike is Liverpool’s most prominent bike hire scheme, with dozens of pick-up stations scattered across the city. There is a blanket fee of just £1 to unlock your chosen bike. Pedal bikes then cost 25p per 15 minutes or £10 a day, while e-bikes are 50p per 15 minutes or £20 a day. You can also get affordable annual memberships for residents and regular visitors, with 50% off deals for students.

Zoom about the city on an e-scooter

As well as hiring a bike, you could try out Liverpool’s e-scooter rental service. Run by Voi , there are more than 400 scooters available to hire for both short and long durations. Download the app to pay and see where the nearest scooter is located.

While they can be a whole lot of fun to ride, just be wary of using e-scooters on big roads or after dark. It’s illegal to scoot on the pavements in Liverpool and you’ll also need to make sure you have at least a UK provisional driving license (or equivalent) before you hire one.

Driving in Liverpool

Driving around the city center is best avoided. That’s partly due to its confusing one-way system, but mostly because of the regular roadworks along The Strand, the main road running adjacent to Liverpool’s Waterfront. It can get busy at any time of day, not just during rush hour (typically early-mid morning and late afternoon).

Top tip: Staying in one of Liverpool’s outer neighborhoods? A car might be handy to have and you’ll likely find accommodation with free off-street or on-street parking.

Getting a taxi in Liverpool is easy

Sometimes a taxi is the most fuss-free way to get around the city, especially if you’re going from one side of Liverpool to the other at night. There is a black cab rank right outside Liverpool Lime Street station (you can also hail black cabs on the street – if their light is on, they're available for hire) or you can ring up a local taxi company such as One Call or ComCab . Uber operates across the city, too.

Trying to get home after a night out? You might have to wait for a taxi if it's a Friday or Saturday. It could be worth pre-booking one if you’re feeling particularly organized.

Accessible transportation in Liverpool

Liverpool has worked hard to make sure it offers accessible travel for all. A good chunk of the Merseytravel bus network can accommodate wheelchair users and the ferries are fully accessible too. Trains are fitted with extra-wide doors and most have dedicated spaces onboard for wheelchairs.  

Transport passes in Liverpool

One of the best ways to save money in Liverpool is to choose the right Merseytravel transport pass . They have various affordable options, including the Saveway Pass that gives you unlimited travel by bus, commuter ferry and train for as little as £4.30 a day.

If you’re in the city for longer, weekly Trio Tickets – which can also be used on all three modes of transport – start at £20. There are also Day Saver Tickets exclusively for use on Merseyrail trains. These allow you to make the most of unlimited off-peak travel across the entire network for £5.60 (£2.80 for under 18s).

Note that most travel passes need to be purchased from a train station or bus station with a staffed ticket office. Day Saver Tickets can be bought online or from a ticket machine, while bus tickets can be paid for on board with cash, card or contactless payment.

Why I love walking around Liverpool

Ask a local what the best way to get around Liverpool is and they’ll likely say walking. I couldn’t agree more. The center is particularly geared towards pedestrians and there are heaps of lovely buildings to appreciate, most of which you’d never spot whizzing past in a car or on a bus.

If you can, book yourself onto a Liverpool walking tour. You’ll find options to suit every budget. Head over heels about history? Obsessed with the Beatles ? Or maybe the macabre is more your thing? There’s always something to spark your imagination in Liverpool.

Liverpool: The ultimate travel guide to Liverpool, the UK’s most underrated city

By: Author Monica

Categories UK

I’m very excited today to have Laura from Wander with Laura sharing her travel guide to Liverpool with us. I went to Liverpool University and I absolutely loved this colourful and creative city. The main thing I feel about Liverpool is that it’s a fun city. No one takes themselves too seriously and there’s a laidback vibe that’s undeniably inviting. Liverpool might be a city some people overlook as a city break destination but I beg you to think again because this fab little city is one of the UK’s hidden gems! Despite living 45 minutes from Liverpool and visiting all the time, I still haven’t written a Liverpool guide so I’m really pleased Laura has and I love all of her Liverpool recommendations!

Located in the North West of England, Liverpool is a coastal city with a rich history thanks to its maritime past and musical heritage. The people are famously friendly, the accent is either passionately loved or passionately hated and of course, it wouldn’t be a travel guide to Liverpool without mentioning The Beatles. But it’s since Liverpool was named European Capital of Culture in 2008 that the city has really began to thrive and over the last ten years, it’s become one of the top must-visit destinations in the country.

There’s so much to do in the city centre that it’s perfect for a city break – especially if your main hobbies are discovering great new bars and restaurants! With a two hour express service to London, it’s got pretty good train links to many other cities across the UK and you can easily do day trips to Manchester and Chester at the same time. But let’s be honest…once you visit Liverpool, you won’t want to leave!

So, why am I so passionate about Liverpool? I grew up just 20 minutes from the city centre, over on the other side of the River Mersey, so really, I guess it’s home. But as I’ve travelled the world, visiting some of the most incredible cities along the way, it’s made me realise just how special Liverpool is. There’s so much going on: from a vibrant arts scene full of independent businesses to fantastic shopping and nightlife, I just never get bored of exploring the familiar streets. Here’s my travel guide to Liverpool from a local’s perspective!

10 things to do in Liverpool

Take in the view from the Anglican Cathedral Tower

Liverpool is home to not one but TWO beautiful cathedrals. Design-wise, they’re both very different and while lovers of modern architecture may fall for the newer Metropolitan Cathedral, the tradionally beautiful Anglican Cathedral just about pips it to the post thanks to the amazing tower experience. While it’s unfortunately not completely accessible for everyone (think 108 steps as well as two lifts), if you can make it up, the views from the top are so worth the £5.50 entrance fee.

Check out the museums

No matter what your interests, Liverpool is home to some fabulous museums so if you’re visiting on a rainy weekend, never fear because you won’t be bored! The World Museum has some great permanent exhibits including an extensive Egyptian collection and planetarium – plus, it’s currently home to the magnificent Terracotta Warriors! Visiting the Museum of Liverpool is an excellent way to learn more about the beautiful city itself and I’ve got a soft spot for the International Slavery Museum which delves into Liverpool’s maritime past.

Ferry across the Mersey

Yes, that Gerry & the Pacemakers song is based on reality and the Mersey ferry is possibly one of my favourite tourist experiences in the city. Along with a great view of Liverpool’s impressive skyline, you can hop off in my hometown of the Wirral for some exploring outside the city. In fact, that leads us rather nicely onto my next recommendation…

Get to the beach

One of the things I love most about Liverpool is that it’s so easy to feel like you’re miles away from the city in no time. On a sunny day, some great beaches are within a stones throw of Liverpool including New Brighton (reachable using the above Mersey Ferry) and Crosby Beach which is home to Antony Gormley’s exhibition ‘Another Place’. 100 cast iron figures stand along the beach, looking out to sea and basically waiting for you to take a snap for Instagram.

Shop, shop shop

Since Liverpool was Capital of Culture in 2008, it has massively stepped up the shopping game and if retail therapy is your thing, get yourself there ASAP. I’ll delve into the fantastic shopping destinations that you can enjoy in Liverpool a little later on so keep reading to find out more!

Stay out all night

If you love a party, this is the city for you. There are venues catering for virtually every taste, from the nightclubs of Concert Square and Matthew Street to relaxed bars with stellar cocktails and live music. Most of the clubs are free to enter so you can expect a cheap night out but I’ve been known to lay down a few quid for the sake of listening to some emo classics in the Krazyhouse. Don’t judge me.

Wander around the Albert Dock

You can’t be a tourist in Liverpool without spending a few hours wandering around the Albert Dock. The area is home to an array of shops, cafes and museums by day and by night, some of Liverpool’s more upmarket bars come out to play. Summer is by far the best time to visit as the area springs to live with events taking place most weekends – for example, if your heart’s desire is to see a full-scale reenactment of a pirate battle, you can find it here each year. In more recent years, the dock has become home to the Liverpool Eye so take a spin if you please but I’m going to be real with you; the cathedral view is way better.

Enjoy the independent food scene

While Liverpool is home to some of the UK’s most popular chain restaurants, I suggest you steer clear in favour of the thriving independent food scene. Centred around the Bold Street, Castle Street and Baltic Triangle areas, you can discover amazing cuisines from around the world including Lebanese street food, fiery Mexican dishes and Indian food like you’ve never tasted it before – all within just a few feet of each other. Keep reading to discover some of the best places to test out on your trip…

Discover what’s on at FACT

FACT (or Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) is a media arts centre just off Bold Street in the city centre. Home to a Picturehouse cinema, The Garden Cafe and rotating installations, it’s always fun to pop in and see what kooky exhibit they have on at the moment. From surreal light experiences to an immersive installation about video games, you can always expect something to find something thought provoking, cool and a little bit random.

Spook yourself with a Ghost Tour

Because when you come to a new city, you always want to be scared witless, right? In all seriousness, Shiverpool Ghost Tours have won awards for their awesome spooky tours around the city centre and if you like a little bit of history about the area thrown in with your frights, this is a truly unique way to spend a few hours in the city. If you’re interested, I’d recommend booking this in advance to secure your spot!

5 unusual things to do in Liverpool

Ok, so you’ve ticked off the usual tourist sights, hit the shops and now what? Thankfully, Liverpool is home to some amazing, quirky attractions and activities that really add to the vibrant nature of the city. Here are a few of my favourites:

Punk Afternoon Tea at the Baltic Social

Liverpool’s original afternoon tea – with a twist. Forget dainty sandwiches and scones piled high with clotted cream and raspberry jam: the Baltic Social is all about sticky wings, halloumi and salted caramel brownies. Even better, they have a veggie and vegan option so everyone can enjoy the fun together!

Ghetto Golf

While Liverpool ONE is home to the city’s original mini golf course, adults will want to head into the city’s creative hub, the Baltic Triangle, for Ghetto Golf. You’re surrounded by neon graffiti as you putt your way through the course, accompanied by some thumping DJ sounds and a cocktail or two, of course. They’re also home to Apocolypse Cow , a truly dirty street food outlet full of BBQ goodness for the meat lovers with a handful of pretty great veggie options too. If you plan to eskew the nightlife scene, make this your evening out instead!

Bongo’s Bingo

While this phenomenon is spreading across the country and beyond, it’s so incredibly popular in its hometown that you have to be fighting fit with a high speed WiFi connection (think Glastonbury ticket time) in order to get tickets for Camp & Furnace’s Bongo’s Bingo . Forget clutching markers in a brightly lit bare hall; this Bingo experience is more about dancing on the tables, cardboard cut outs of celebrities and the occasional 90’s special guest!

Light Night

You’ll have to time your visit to Liverpool carefully to experience this one but it’s definitely worth it. The cultural takes place on a Friday night in May each year with venues like the Anglican Cathedral, Central Library and more full of exhibitions. In the years I’ve attended, I’ve watched everything from light shows with a soundrack of thumping electronica to traditional fire dancing in front of St George’s Hall. In 2019, Light Night takes place on 17th May so get your hotel booked in early – there’s tons of family friendly exhibits and best of all, most of them are free!

Discover the Secret Bars

While most of Liverpool’s nightlife is loud and proud, there’s an understated side to the evening drinks scene too. Literally hidden behind closed doors, Berry & Rye serves up prohibition era-inspired cocktails with great service and a chilled out atmosphere. It’s a great date night location or one if you’re after delicious drinks in an intimate setting. There’s also Ex Directory, a tiny little bar accessible only through a phone box!

The Best Places to Eat in Liverpool

And we’ve arrived at my favourite topic. I genuinely feel like I spend the majority of my time thinking about food and luckily, Liverpool is home to some incredible restaurants. Narrowing this down to just a few places has been quite a challenge but if in doubt, head to any of the restaurants on Bold Street and you’ll be in for a treat.

This isn’t your typical Indian restaurant. Forget sloppy curries and greasy takeaway containers, Mowgli was formed from a love of how real Indian food is supposed to be: healthy, packed with flavour and often vegan. Spice lovers will be in their element! If you eat here, make sure you try the unique flavour explosion of chat bombs. While Liverpool will always be its hometown, the Mowgli love is fast spreading to other cities across the UK so you might even be lucky enough to have a local branch coming your way. Oh, and the gentle decor, complete with fairy lights and duck egg blue walls, looks great on your Instagram feed too.

Baltic Market

If you and your other half are constantly arguing about what type of food you fancy, get yourselves down to the Baltic Market. The former brewery is now home to a thriving street food market and bar, complete with live music, rotating weekend markets and special events scattered throughout the year. There’s an amazing atmosphere in the place, as it allows people of all ages to sit together on benches enjoying fantastic food from vendors that switch every few months. Almost every vendor has a delicious veggie / vegan option and best of all, dogs are welcomed with open arms!

The restaurant is tucked away in Campbell Square (just off Duke Street) but it’s worth seeking out as it picked up the award for Best Pizza in The Italian Awards for two years running! That’s right, Liverpool officially has the UK’s best pizza. Go with an empty stomach because their huge menu will have you salivating like no-ones business – my favourite pizza comes topped with sweet potato fries – or if you’re feeling brave, check out their 5lb calzone challenge!

There’s something about this Peruvian street kitchen that keeps me going back from more and while I can’t quite put my finger on it, you’ll just have to see for yourself! For a cuisine that’s still relatively unexplored in the UK, it could seem like a more daunting choice but the tapas-style menu and knowledgable staff make it easy to choose an absolutely delicious meal.

The Best Places to Drink in Liverpool

Liverpool’s nightlife is renowned but however, I’m going to confess right now that I haven’t set foot in the city’s many nightclubs once this year. So, while I may not have many current suggestions for hardcore partygoers, I do enjoy a good gin cocktail and these delightful venues will have you covered for civilised drinks by day and night.

Another Bold Street institution, Leaf is a much-loved venue that you can visit at virtually any time of day. By day, their brunches and fantastic tea selection are perfect for a chilled out morning with friends while at night, their two floors come to life with live music, poetry nights and even a monthly book club! It’s the original hipster hangout that manages to make anyone and everyone feel welcome.

Botanical Garden

You’ve almost certainly been to a beer garden or two, but what about a gin garden. You can read my review of Liverpool’s Botanical Garden here .   This is my favourite place to drink in the entire world and in my opinon, no trip to Liverpool is complete without stopping by for a few hours. Hidden away on New Bird Street, the relaxing outdoor space is filled with graffiti, flowers and an incredible gin selection, all to a chilled out soundtrack that hits the nail on the head. It’s usually open between March and September each year so if you’re lucky enough to visit Liverpool during the summer months, head over for a Gin in a Tin on the park-style benches.

I discovered this understated cafe, located up an unassuming flight of stairs on Lord Street, during my university days when it was made up of just one room, friendly staff and a great, affordable menu. I’d spend too many days perched on their window streets, reading (well, mainly people watching) accompanied by a hot chocolate and a toasted teacake. Since those days, this hidden gem has become a neighbourhood favourite, expanding into more rooms and even a second floor! Swerve Costa, Starbucks and Caffe Nero – this is the place you want to be.

Neighbourhood

This Castle Street hangout is achingly hip, there’s no other way to describe it. This is the perfect destination for a few hours with the girls: whether it’s a bottomless brunch accompanied by their amazing drinks menu or even a hen party, complete with sharing platters and great music. Neighbourhood is said to be inspired by the New York ‘vibrant dining’ trend and its popularity is testament to the concept! The food here isn’t so great for us veggies out there but even if you aren’t dining, it’s worth a trip for the cocktails alone.

Where to get the perfect Instagram shots in Liverpool

Because we all love to share our favourite travel memories on the ‘gram, I’m pleased to tell you that Liverpool is home to some stunning places that are bound to get the likes rolling in.

Love thy Neighbour

Among the Bold Street stalwarts, Love Thy Neighbour is a relatively new addition to the group but an incredibly photogenic one. It was basically created to be Instagram gold with the most beautifully arranged plates of food, cool grey and milennial pink interiors bedecked with plants and even a huge avocado mural on the wall outside. Need I say anymore?

“For All Liverpool’s Liver Birds”

Since Liverpool-based artist Paul Curtis painted a huge green pair of wings on Jamaica Street last August, you can usually spot a steady stream of people heading in that direction to grab the perfect snap. Once you’ve got your shot, keep walking and you’ll reach the Botanical Garden and Baltic Market for some food and drink heaven!

A post shared by Laura ? Travel Blogger ?? (@wanderingwithlaura) on Sep 2, 2017 at 3:35am PDT

The Florist

As one of Liverpool’s newest food and drink hubs, The Florist has already made a name for itself as one of the most photogenic spots in Liverpool. If you’re looking for the perfect flower wall to take a snap in front of, it’s right here! But it’s not just about the pretty face, the excellent drinks selection and tasty food make it somewhere you want to go back to again and again.

A post shared by The Florist (@thefloristuk) on Jul 15, 2018 at 12:05pm PDT

Georgian Quarter

In fact, the entire of Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter is completely stunning. Sadly, my dream of owning one of the stunning townhouses is almost certainly never going to come to fruition now that most of them are either businesses or flats but if you’re looking for the perfect background to your city break outfit photos, head to any of these streets and you won’t be disappointed.

Where to stay in Liverpool

Considering Liverpool is such a great city for nightlife, it’s surprising that there aren’t more budget options in the city centre. However, if you’re looking for a more stylish break, Liverpool is absolutely packed full of options. From aparthotels to independent boutiques, alongside all the popular chains, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Best of all, it can be pretty reasonable to get a really lovely room in a great location.

Hatters Hostel from £12 per night

Oneof the most popular budget options is Hatters Hostel and with both dorms and ensuite dorms available, you can benefit from an amazing city centre location on Mount Pleasant at a great price. Plus, they include a decent cooked breakfast from just £3, free wifi, fairtrade tea and coffee as well as social bar crawls! What else could you want in a hotel?

Hope Street Hotel from £105 per night

Hope Street is well known in the city centre as it famously links Liverpool’s two cathedrals, plus there are some pretty great restaurants nearby. While I’ve never ventured inside the hotel, a few friends have raved about weddings they’ve been to here; particularly the delicious food in the AA Rosette restaurant and the stunning views from the rooftop terrace. Check out their stylish rooms for a city break that won’t break the bank.

Titanic Hotel from £105 per night

If you’re looking for a hotel that’ll wow, Titanic Hotel on the docks is one to check out for a romantic break. Their standout feature is the stunning underground spa: I’d highly recommend pre-booking access to their thermal suite if you want a touch of relaxation after pounding the city streets. For beautifully designed rooms with wonderful views, this is the place to go.

Where to shop in Liverpool

So, I may be biased here: as you can already tell, I think Liverpool is one of the best cities in the world but seriously, it’s potentially my favourite place to shop in the whole UK. It’s easy to navigate and packed with a mix of well-known stores and quirky independents so there’s an option to tickle everyone’s fancy.

Liverpool ONE

This is the place to shop in Liverpool. Considering that Liverpool ONE is only celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018, it’s pretty strange to think back to shopping in Liverpool before – even if they were the days I’d head into town with a tenner for a Primark outfit and Maccies. Home to 170 of your high street favourites, including a cinema, restaurants and a chilled out garden, Liverpool ONE is the largest open air shopping complex in the UK and a fabulous place to indulge if you ask me

Liverpool’s original shopping centre plays host to aspirational brands like Hugo Boss, LK Bennet and Urban Calm spa. If you like your shopping experience to be relaxed, this is a great place to browse but there’s not a huge amount of stores to keep you entertained.

Bold Street

As well as the cacophany of cafes and restaurants, Bold Street is also a great place to shop for quirky bits and pieces. If you’re into homewares, don’t miss the two Utility stores – one’s all about larger pieces of furniture while the otheris full of cards, gifts, books and many more – as well as Mi Vida, another gift shop with an amazing collection of plants! For the stylish among you, you can often pick up bargains in the vintage and charity shops dotted up the road and food lovers will want to pop into Matthas International supermarket.

Bonus travel tip for Liverpool

Liverpool City Centre is REALLY walkable so don’t worry about splashing out on one of those city bus tours. The only places you might need to hop on public transport for – aside from the Mersey ferry – would be Sefton Park and Penny Lane for Beatles fans – so unless these destinations are on your bucket list, stick to flats and just enjoy the great, friendly vibe of the city centre.

So there you have it! I hope that you enjoyed reading my guide to Liverpool as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it and if I’ve inspired you to visit, I’d love to hear from you!

Where to eat.

Docklands Fish and Chips

For an authentic taste of Liverpool’s food scene, you can’t go wrong with Docklands Fish and Chips. This no-nonsense establishment is located right on the famous Albert Dock, so expect delicious fresh fish for a cheap eat on the go. Even better – it’s conveniently located near The Beatles Story and Tate Liverpool so you can grab some lunch before seeing the sights.

The Art School

Liverpool is fast developing a reputation as a foodie hot spot, and The Art School is feted as one of the city’s best restaurants. The vision of long-established north-west chef Paul Askew, The Art School is situated in a stunning Victorian building on Sugnall Street and is a favourite dining spot among locals. With a range of fixed price and tasting menus, The Art School serves modern veggie and meat dishes to suit a range of budgets.

Mowgli Street Food 

With so many cultures calling Liverpool home there's no surprise you can find one of the best Indian eateries here. Mowgli Street Food is well known for its quirky, delicious takes on Indian street food, so much so there are 2 restaurants in Liverpool. Located just off Water Street and Bold Street, this eastern gem boasts a fantastic menu filled with tasty delicacies all at a reasonable price.

Where to drink

Visit a watering hole in the Georgian Quarter

Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter is a handsome cluster of buildings in the centre, and a great neighbourhood to explore the city’s nightlife. The Belvedere on Sugnall Street has its very own Liverpool gin in its ‘GinNasium’, while The 23 Club is a charming alehouse in a quaint, library-style environment.

Get locked up at Alcotraz

This prison-themed cocktail bar experience is something that has to be seen to be believed. Gear up in your orange jumpsuit and smuggle your drinks past the guards for a cocktail party behind bars. If you play your cards right some of the crooked guards may even supply you some contraband too. 

See the world’s most famous music club

For many music lovers, no night out in Liverpool is complete without a trip to the world-famous Cavern Club. Known to millions as the place where The Beatles performed many of their early gigs, today The Cavern showcases up and coming talent from Liverpool’s exciting music scene, with special Beatles nights for those who love the old favourites.

Where to shop

Liverpool ONE

One of the premier city centre shopping centres in the UK, Liverpool ONE has something for everyone. Here you’ll find the flagship department store, John Lewis or you can treat yourself to a luxury purchase or two at Boss, Reiss or Polo Ralf Lauren. In your downtime, check out the 18-hole adventure golf course or embrace your competitive spirit with an escape room.

Probe Records

Liverpool has a thriving indie shopping scene, and for music fans, Probe Records is definitely worth a visit. A fixture of Liverpool’s musical folklore since 1971, the record shop was frequented by members of Echo and the Bunnymen and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Today, Probe Records is still popular for musos in the market for rare vinyls, affordable albums and collectables.

Reid of Liverpool

For a trip through time pay a visit to Reid of Liverpool, a second-hand bookshop in close proximity to the Philharmonic Hall and Liverpool Playhouse. With more than 40,000 titles, and with prices from 50p, it’s the perfect place to buy an affordable page-turner for the coach journey home.

How to Travel from London to Liverpool by Train, Bus, and Car

Taylor McIntyre / TripSavvy

Liverpool shot to international fame in the 1960s thanks to their homegrown legends, The Beatles. The city has worked throughout the decades to maintain its status as a trailblazer in the arts and music (more artists from Liverpool have produced number one hits than from any other city in the world), and cultural junkies are sure to fall in love with the gritty charm of this Northern English town.

The fastest way to get to Liverpool is by train, which runs directly from London and only takes a little over two hours. However, train prices can be prohibitively expensive, especially if you're purchasing at the last minute. For travelers who need to stay within budget, the bus takes about twice as long but can cost a fraction of the price. If you're looking to make a road trip out of it, only 220 miles separate the two cities and a car gives you the freedom to explore along the way.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get From London to Liverpool?

It's the slowest journey, but the bus is the cheapest way to get from London to Liverpool. Tickets through National Express start at roughly $14, and the journey takes between five and a half and six hours. Best of all, bus tickets remain relatively constant regardless of when you purchase them. So whether you plan weeks in advance or buy them on the same day that you travel, prices should only go up by a few pounds, if at all.

Buses depart in London from Victoria Station with connections to the Circle, Victoria, and District lines of the Underground. The Liverpool Bus Station is in the center of the city, and easily connected to the rest of Liverpool either by subway or walking.

What Is the Fastest Way to Get From London to Liverpool?

The train is a great option not just because it's comfortable, but it's also the fastest way to get to Liverpool, with a total travel time of only 2 hours, 15 minutes. When you look at the schedule on the National Rail webpage , be aware that some routes are direct while others include a transfer, so double-check your itinerary before completing your purchase. Trains to Liverpool leave from Euston Station in London and arrive at Liverpool Lime Street Station, which is centrally located and accessible to the rest of the city.

"Advance" prices for train tickets, which are the least expensive tickets you can get, open up about eight to 10 weeks before the travel date. As demand goes up and seats sell out, prices can soar up to four or five times the original price. Flexibility is key for purchasing rail tickets in the U.K., so if you can't find a decent price, try looking at other times or nearby days for a better deal.

How Long Does It Take to Drive?

If you have a vehicle, driving yourself to Liverpool is the only way to experience the various towns and scenic English countryside along the way. Liverpool is also a great stopping point before continuing on to other parts of Northern England and Scotland. The 220-mile drive takes roughly four hours, although traffic getting out of London and into Liverpool can cause significant delays. The M6 highway that goes from London to Liverpool is a toll road, and depending on what time you leave London, you may need to pay a congestion pricing toll within the city.

When Is the Best Time to Travel to Liverpool?

If you're looking for warm weather, summer is the best time to visit Liverpool. From June through August, the average high temperature hovers around a comfortable 65 degrees F, perfect for walking around and exploring this trendy city. The summer months are also the busiest time to visit, and you can usually find good weather with fewer crowds by visiting in the late spring or early fall. Winter is cold, dark, and rainy, and the short days make it hard to fully enjoy all that Liverpool has to offer. Although snow is not uncommon in the colder months, the white blanket over the city offers its own charm.

What Is There to Do in Liverpool?

Liverpool is known as a cultural powerhouse, and rivals even London in the number of art galleries, museums, and historic buildings within its city limits. If you're a fan of The Beatles—or just music in general—you can take a tour of famous spots where the iconic group used to frequent. Or, take a more formal trip to a local museum like The Beatles Story or the British Music Experience. Apart from music, Liverpool is likely most famous for its soccer team. If you're a sports fan, there's no better way to round out the trip than a tour of Anfield Stadium where Liverpool F.C. plays—or better yet, get tickets to a match.

If you buy an advance ticket costs are around 24 pounds (about $33) but prices fluctuate depending on when you're traveling and when you purchase.

The train ride is 2 hours and 15 minutes long.

Liverpool is 220 miles (354 kilometers) from London.

Visiting Liverpool during the weekend can be a great way to visit the city and get a feel for the city. You can also plan a trip with your kids and enjoy the local music scene. It’s an excellent time for families to enjoy a day in the city.

Liverpool is a vibrant city

When is the best time to visit Liverpool? The answer will depend on what you want to do while you’re there, and what type of weather you’d prefer. The city is renowned for its sunny summers, but its temperate maritime climate is unpredictable, so you should pack accordingly. While rain and high humidity are common year-round, the summer and spring seasons offer the best weather conditions. Even if the weather is good in any season, you might want to pack a few layers and a light jacket to stay warm.

It is an active place of worship and features impressive architecture. In addition to being a place of worship, the cathedral is also used for concerts, conferences, and corporate events. You might also want to visit its grounds, where you can take in views of the city.

Richard Keenan-Heard

UK & Europe train travel champion

When we were looking for a short city break from London, we were surprised to see Liverpool was just over two hours away by train and on the bucket list, it went!

Arriving at London Euston for the 7.02 pm train (which is 2 hours and 6 minutes in total) about 30 minutes early we headed to the Avanti First-Class lounge which offers aside from the complimentary refreshments a bird’s eye view of the station below, which is great for people watching whilst you sip a coffee.

There’s more than coffee on offer too in the lounge, there are newspapers, decent Wi-Fi speeds, and snacks including fresh fruit, cookies, muffins, and assorted pastries. Depending on the time of day, you can even grab an ice-cold beer!

When we boarded the Pendolino train and settled down in First-Class the extra comfy seats by the large window meant we good gaze out the window which for me is the best bit about travelling by train, just watching the world whiz by at over 100mph. And who doesn’t like to race the traffic along the motorways when you’re just sitting back and relaxing?!

Heading out of Euston and once you’re past the London suburbs the countryside swiftly creeps up alongside the track as we head north towards Milton Keynes (our first stop). By this point, we’ve been well looked after by the folks in First-Class and happily watching the world go by. In no time at all really, we’re skirting around Birmingham, through Crewe before stopping for the second and last time at Runcorn just outside of Liverpool.

As the clock ticked past 9 pm we were on the approach to Liverpool Lime Street (a magnificent station) and feeling refreshed and well-fed headed out from the railway station towards the docks and our hotel for the weekend.

In all honesty, the perfect trip and a great way to start our weekend away in Liverpool.

Liverpool will be missing five players vs Fulham as one Reds ace doesn't travel to Craven Cottage

Liverpool knows three points is a must against Fulham on Sunday. Jürgen Klopp's squad looks a lot stronger right now but there are still several faces missing.

Liverpool faces a huge week as it bids to keep its Premier League title hopes alive. The Reds have slipped to third in the table and are now three points off leaders Arsenal ahead of Sunday's clash with Fulham.

The trip to Craven Cottage marks the first of three away games in the next six days with the Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park to come in midweek. That is followed by a visit to West Ham on Saturday with Jürgen Klopp accepting his side probably need to win all six remaining matches.

His side did get back to winning ways against Atalanta on Thursday night but the 1-0 success in Italy was not enough as Liverpool exited the competition at the quarter-final stage.

It means that there will be no final farewell in Dublin, with Liverpool having just six matches remaining of the Klopp era. He heads to Craven Cottage without five players, with Conor Bradley remaining unavailable.

The Reds defender picked up an ankle problem against Crystal Palace last weekend and although scans have shown no serious damage, he is likely to be missing for another couple of weeks. There is a hope that Bradley can feature in the final weeks of the season,

Young midfielder Stefan Bajčetić featured for the Under-21s last week and is continuing his rehabilitation from a lengthy lay-off so hasn't travelled, while Thiago Alcântara , Joël Matip and Ben Doak remain longer-term absentees for the Reds.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's match, Klopp told Liverpool's official website : "It is obviously not in our hands, it's not about that. I think if we would win all our games, yeah, there's a good chance that we will be champion. If not, yeah, then it's a good chance that somebody is there. Maybe we only have to win five or whatever, but nobody knows.

"The thing is clear: if you want to be champion in the Premier League, you have to be close to perfection. And if we are not perfect, you have to deal with the setbacks in the best possible way or in the perfect way — and that's what we are now doing."

Liverpool.com says: Arsenal's win over Wolves on Saturday night puts more pressure on Liverpool to go to Fulham and pick up all three points. Ultimately, the failure to do so will all-but end its title hopes. Klopp will hope to see an improvement on last weekend's defeat to Crystal Palace, where it appeared a long season had taken its toll. With six games to go of the German's tenure, his players will surely want to deliver some fine performances.

Liverpool's 'hidden gem’ café that foodies travel miles to eat at

A much loved restaurant in Liverpool is celebrating its five-year anniversary

Customers travel miles to try a South Liverpool restaurant described as a "hidden gem."

The Watering Can , an award-winning café bistro located in Greenbank Park, was opened by owners Keith Perryman and Philip Starling in April 2019. Keith said it's a project that has been "ten years in the making" , but has now "far surpassed everything we ever could have imagined."

The 61-year-old added that during the five years the venue has been open, it has faced a "selection of operational problems" including a pandemic, floods, and a cost-of-living crisis. Lockdown was enforced when the Watering Can had only been open for a year and "hadn’t found its feet yet" which Keith said made them realise they "had to adapt and change our offering fast."

READ MORE: Bustling village with 'country-esque feel about it' that's growing in popularity by the day

He added: "We were in unknown territory. Suddenly we had to navigate furlough, eat out to help out, restrictions on people mixing…overnight we went from being a dine-in venue to a takeaway venue. It put us on the map. People would come and spend their hour in the park, and then get a takeaway."

Since then, they’ve become a "destination venue" and attracted visitors who Keith said "travel here from all over the North-West" to eat there. Fans include celebrities such as Jodie Comer, Jamie Carragher and Martin Freeman.

One reviewer on TripAdvisor described it as "an absolute gem of a place," with another reviewer adding that it was "the best place in Liverpool for lunch." To celebrate being open five years, The Watering Can has launched a new menu.

Looking back on five years, Keith said that he is "just unbelievably proud of what we’ve done, what we’ve achieved, what we’ve overcome." More information can be found on their website: www.thewateringcanliverpool.com

Atalanta vs Liverpool

| thursday, april 18th | europa league | gewiss stadium 8pm bst / 3pm est.

After what can only be described as a terrible week, having failed to win in three consecutive matches for the first time since April of last year, Liverpool look to save their season, as a three-goal deficit looms when they travel to Bergamo to take on Atalanta.

The Italians didn’t have the greatest run-up to the match themselves, dropping a two-goal lead at home to draw with relegation scrappers Verona on Monday, but three goals is a commanding lead — they’ve yet to concede more than two in a home game all season — and Gian Piero Gasperini will fancy his side’s chances of maintaining their grip on advancement to the semi-finals.

Projected Liverpool Lineup (4-3-3)

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Gakpo, Darwin, Salah

For the Reds, Alisson is back in goal, and although Caoimhín Kelleher’s deputising efforts have been admirable, his performance in the first leg crystallised what the Reds have been missing the in their Brazilian stopper.

With Conor Bradley picking up an injury at the weekend, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return comes at the perfect time, and the Englishman will be back in the starting XI for the first time since February 10th. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté should feature in the centre of defense, while Andy Robertson returns at left-back, as Liverpool start their first-choice back five for what seems like the first time in forever.

In midfield the run of good health continues, as only Thiago is completely unavailable, although Stefan Bajcetic is not in contention either despite being back in training. A trio of Wataru Endo, Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister failed to deal particularly well with Crystal Palace’s press on Sunday, and a start for Dominik Szoboszlai is likely on the cards.

Up top, Cody Gakpo’s recent run of positive cameos off the bench should open the door for a start, although whether in his best position on the left wing in place of Luis Díaz or the more awkward fit up top ahead of Darwin Núñez is up for debate. Mohamed Salah starts forever and always, while a Diogo Jota inclusion could be a potential scale tipper.

What the Managers Said

Jürgen Klopp: “ They played a really good game, we didn’t play extremely well. So, that’s it now. Let’s start with a much better performance, let’s try to win the game and then we will see how much time is left in the end, but that’s all.”

Gian Piero Gasperini: “It would be a mistake to think about the 3-0 in the first leg. We have to play as if we are starting at 0-0. Liverpool are a great team regardless of their recent defeats. There is a lot of balance and everyone always gives their all. They remain a team of great value, one of the strongest in the world.”

The Officials (FRA)

Referee: François Letexier Assistant referees: Cyril Mugnier, Mehdi Rahmouni Fourth official: Pierre Gaillouste VAR: Jérôme Brisard, Willy Delajod

Kickoff is set for 8PM GMT/3PM EST tomorrow, and television listings for the match can be found on LiveSoccerTV .
