Arsenal last four Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool and Man City after Chelsea win

Arsenal news as the Gunners move three points clear at the top of the table after comprehensive win over Chelsea with Premier League title pressure put back on Manchester City and Liverpool

Arsenal made light work of Chelsea once more as they cruised to an emphatic 5-0 win on Tuesday night to build a lead at the top of the Premier League table of three points, even if it is just temporary. Goals from Leandro Trossard and doubles for Ben White and Kai Havertz completed a thorough rout.

Not only did the victory ensure that Mikel Arteta's side piled the pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of their matches against Everton and Brighton, it boosted the goal difference massively too. It comes as the second win in a row following a big response to consecutive defeats last week.

Led by a fierce attacking trident of Havertz, Trossard, and Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard consistently opened up Chelsea with increasingly inventive threaded passes. Declan Rice anchored the team from deep and drove forward in possession, slicing through the blue shirts in front of him, and Arsenal were relentless in their dominance.

The game could have been even more one-sided on the scoreline by the end too with Djordje Petrovic making several brilliant saves for Chelsea but without reward. Rice himself hit the post and by the end it was time for olays from the home fans.

The feeling in north London has changed dramatically in a little over ten days. Here, football.london compares the run-ins for Arsenal and their title rivals.

Liverpool Travel Guide

Last Updated: September 1, 2023

A scenic view of Liverpool, UK as seen from the water

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

Historic boat, warehouses, and pumphouse at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, England

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. You can use the widget below to find the policy right for you:

A return to Cardiff has not been ruled out but The Mirror reports Leeds is also monitoring the defender. It is unclear if promotion back to the Premier League would alter Leeds' transfer plans.

Phillips' most-prominent season in the Liverpool first-team came during the 2020/21 campaign amid an injury crisis. He featured 20 times in all competitions before joining Bournemouth in the following season. Klopp lauded the defender for his efforts, saying (via The Daily Echo ): "He deserves this move so much. He was incredibly reliable and a great figure here."

Klopp also thanked Phillips and fellow defender Rhys Williams when Liverpool reached the Champions League final in 2022. He told Sky Sports : "We wouldn't be there without them. I remember the final game of last season and they left the pitch with a bandage around the head, cuts on their faces, and that was really a symbol for the whole period. We went through on one leg, with one eye. It was incredible."

Liverpool.com says: Nobody will forget Phillips' role in the 2020/21 season as Liverpool faced a raft of injuries in defense. He stepped up to the plate and Klopp clearly holds him in high regard. While Slot will want to take a look at all of his options, it does appear that Phillips' future will be best served elsewhere. Should Leeds come in, and get promoted, he may get another crack at the Premier League.

The latest Liverpool news as the current Reds boss has spoken about his potential successor over the weekend after the club reached an agreement with Feyenoord.

Train strikes in May 2024: Full list of dates and lines affected

Rail lines are set for disruption in the week following the first May bank holiday as train drivers at 16 rail companies strike on different days.

Monday 29 April 2024 09:17, UK

travelling man liverpool

Train drivers will stage a fresh wave of strikes and overtime bans in May, causing disruption to the rail network.

The strikes are part of a long-running dispute over pay.

Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from 7 to 9 May.

Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime from 6 May to 11 May.

Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when.

Rail strike dates

Tuesday 7 May

Strikes will affect c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express and South Western Railway.

Wednesday 8 May

Strikes will affect Avanti West Coast, Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains.

Thursday 9 May

Strikes will affect LNER, Northern Trains and TransPennine Express.

Overtime ban dates

From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May union members will not work overtime.

Overtime bans, an action short of a strike, means some services may not be running or may be reduced as drivers refuse to work their rest days.

People are advised to check before they travel, as some areas may have no service.

How do strikes and overtime bans affect services?

Strikes tend to mean services on lines where members are participating are extremely affected or cancelled entirely, whereas overtime bans often lead to reduced services.

An underground train pulls into Leicester Square station in central London February 11, 2014. A planned 48-hour strike this week by staff on London's underground rail network which threatened to bring travel misery for millions has been suspended to allow further talks, unions said on Tuesday. REUTERS/Neil Hall (BRITAIN - Tags: POLITICS TRANSPORT BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT)

Are there strikes on the Tube too?

There have been regular strikes on London Underground too recently, and while there aren't any planned walkouts for drivers, customer service managers are set to walk out on Friday 26 April in a dispute over terms and conditions.

There will also be an overtime ban for the customer service managers on the following days:

Monday 29 April

Tuesday 30 April

Wednesday 1 May

Tuesday 2 May

Wednesday 3 May

Thursday 4 May

Friday 5 May

The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) says the action by its members is likely to cause Tube stations to close at the last minute, including on the Saturday following the strike (27 April), while TfL has said on its website "some stations may need to close at short notice".

Despite the warning, a TfL spokesperson has said they aren't expecting significant disruption.

This action follows strike action taken by the same workers on 10 April, which the TSSA said had a "real impact" with "many stations shut at short notice".

They say they are "extremely concerned" about TfL's 'Stations Changes' proposals.

"We have made it clear that our union will not accept the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms, and conditions to stand unchallenged," a TSSA spokesperson said.

"We will continue to take sustained action until London Underground is prepared to negotiate with us in good faith."

Commenting on the impending strikes, a TfL spokesperson said: "We are disappointed that TSSA is continuing with this strike action following a consultation process.

"While we don't expect this action will cause significant disruption, we urge TSSA to continue to work with us to help find a resolution.

"There are no planned job losses as part of these vital changes which will improve the service we provide to customers at our stations."

Why are the strikes still happening?

Aslef rejected a two-year offer of 4% in 2022 and another 4% this year, saying it is way below inflation, and is linked to changes in terms and conditions.

Aslef said train drivers have not had an increase in salary for five years, since their last pay deals expired in 2019.

The union said after its members voted overwhelmingly in February to continue taking industrial action, it asked the train operating companies to hold talks.

General secretary Mick Whelan said the year-old pay offer of 4% and another 4% was "dead in the water".

Fulham FC v Liverpool FC - Premier League

It was still not the prettiest of performances against Fulham, but it was much better over all than we’ve seen in the past couple of weeks. Trent Alexander-Arnold hit a fantastic free kick to open the scoring for the Reds and hit some of his signature crossfield passes the just had your jaw on the floor with the technique. Cody Gakpo put in his second good shift in a row from the left wing, winning quite a few balls back high up the pitch with his pressing and doing well to get the ball into dangerous areas. He almost scored early in the match before eventually setting up Liverpool’s third goal to Diogo Jota. Ryan Gravenberch showed glimpses of the silky skill and athleticism in the first half before putting together a fantastic second half that saw him score the match winner with a fantastic turn and strike. Wataru Endo had a pretty meh first half, but he was stellar in the second half, winning the ball all over the pitch and doing much more ball progression after beating the press. Throughout the entire match, the Traveling Kop could be heard loud and clear serenading the squad.

Now let us know how you saw it. We’ve narrowed down the options to a few of the players we thought had the best performances for the Reds, now make your choice and vote for who you think should be the Man of the Match—or take to the comments to let us know that we got it wrong by not even including the real man of the match in the options.

Liverpool or Manchester: Which City to Visit?

For many, a visit to the United Kingdom will start and end with London. Not only can this leave your wallet suffering from post-traumatic stress, but it ignores and to some extent, misrepresents what the country has to offer. When deciding to venture outside the M25 and head north, Liverpool or Manchester may well make the destination shortlist.

Steeped in historical significance, footballing success and acting as a production line for big names in music, both these cities are inhabited by distinct peoples whose regional accents are unique to the point where one’s ears may require a retune on arrival.

While Liverpool might be your choice if you’re interested in maritime history, Liverpool FC or The Beatles, Manchester is home to two major football teams as well as plenty of Industrial Revolution history.

However, if trying to decide which of the two to opt for, there is a lot more to consider!

Table of Contents

Port cities often exude a unique blend of culture and Liverpool is no exception. Hard times have forged a native population notorious for their sharp wit, sense of humour and warmth.

The city’s museums and waterfront are a reminder of Liverpool’s heritage but the once commercial maritime pursuits associated with the docks have given way to a more modern edge – upmarket bars and restaurants fuelling lively nightlife, with an injection of creativity and art.

Accessibility 

Whether it’s Liverpool or Manchester, one will find both highly accessible cities despite their North Western locations with direct routes to and from London. Both make for a great stop on the London to Edinburgh drive .

Three motorways serve Liverpool, although someone thinking of driving from London should expect a trip lasting around four-and-a-half hours (if using the main M6 and M40 arterial route).

National Express run coaches that link London Victoria to Liverpool One Coach Station in Canning Place, a direct journey that takes in the region of 6 hours.

The main rail connection into Liverpool is via Lime Street station, with direct routes to many destinations in and around the North West, Newcastle and London Euston; the latter journey taking around 2 hours 30 minutes. View bus & train timetables here .

Liverpool’s metro system and local rail links are provided by Merseyrail should a visitor wish to explore Merseyside using public transport, although buses are also a viable option.

For those wanting to fly, Liverpool John Lennon Airport is 9 miles from the city centre and offers both domestic flights and routes to major European destinations. Manchester Airport is 45 minutes from Liverpool city centre and provides additional long-haul flight opportunities. 

Walking is a great way to experience somewhere new and fortunately, Liverpool is compact enough to satiate the avid walker. There is also a bike hire scheme run by CityBike for those wanting to replace two legs with the equivalent number of wheels.

Part public transport, part icon, the ‘Ferry Cross the Mersey’ takes passengers from Pier Head to the Wirral with services running every 20 minutes. They also offer a hop-on, hop-off cruise.

Skyline of Liverpool

Affordability

If affordability is a key component of deciding whether to go to Manchester or Liverpool, then there is little to choose between the two. In general, northern English cities tend to offer better value for money for the mainstays of travel – food, accommodation and transport – although prices in both could rise as urban renewal projects attract a wealthier populace. 

Liverpool offers accommodation for all tastes and budgets. Expect to pay more in and around the waterfront and costs tend to rise when Liverpool FC are playing at home. August may also be costlier with the arrival of the music festivals.

Most culinary tastes will be catered for with a variety of high end through to budget dining options as well as a range of cuisine types. For reasonably priced, independent restaurants, try Bold Street in the Ropewalks area with some of the finer restaurants to be found in the Georgian Quarter.

Lots of Liverpool’s top sights are free to enter including the Maritime and International Slavery Museums, Liverpool Museum and Tate Liverpool. Of course, a stroll along the famous waterfront, Sefton Park and popping along to spots made famous by The Beatles, will also mean spending nothing other than your time.

Merseyrail offers a selection of passes and tickets for use on the underground system. Lines travel as far as Southport and the Wirral, down to the Roman city of Chester. One can purchase an integrated ticket using Plusbus for further transport options using unsurprisingly, the local buses.

Beatles statue in Liverpool

Things to do in Liverpool

Within a 20-minute walk from Lime Street train station is a symbol of both Liverpool’s maritime past and regeneration, the Royal Albert Dock.

Once a focal point of trading for the British Empire, the dock became redundant and abandoned (and completely filled with silt) before redevelopment in the 1980s transformed the area into a hub for restaurants, entertainment and cultural activity. In 2004 it achieved UNESCO World Heritage status, cementing its place of importance for both past and present.

Situated in the dock itself, one can get a more in-depth look at the port of Liverpool’s rich historical past at the Maritime Museum. The displays use objects, models, paintings and even full-sized vessels to tell the story of the commercial and social aspects that once made Liverpool one of the greatest ports in the world.

Visitors can also learn about the city’s strong ties to the infamous, supposedly unsinkable cruise liner RMS Titanic, which although never visited Liverpool, was conceived in the city by its parent company White Star Line. 

On the 3rd floor of the Maritime Museum, marking one of the most shameful periods of human history stands the International Slavery Museum. Liverpool grew and prospered rapidly during the 18 th century thanks largely to its considerable involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.

The subject is handled in an informative, sensitive manner whilst discussing issues still prevalent in terms of modern-day slavery.

Albert Docks in Liverpool

Liverpool’s rebirth has been reflected in its most successful football team. As legendary football manager Bill Shankly once quipped “I always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside… Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.”

Crowned European Champions in 2019, Liverpool FC seem to be on the way to regaining former glories and fans can indulge in their status as a supporter with a tour of the club’s home stadium, Anfield. Getting tickets to games is extremely difficult so it’s best to sign up to their member base long in advance of your trip. Alternatively, you can look at reputable resellers like StubHub.

Numerous packages are on offer with the basic version allowing access to views of the pitch and areas including the dressing rooms, players’ tunnel and dugout. Visitors can pre-purchase tickets which also buys entry to the interactive museum and a look at the now 6 European cups.

Talk of Liverpool and its fame invariably leads to The Beatles, the band that achieved global fame in the ’60s. Fans have numerous opportunities to get their fix with tours, exhibitions and landmarks aplenty.

The Beatles Story, again found on the Albert Dock, is the world’s largest permanent exhibition containing unique memorabilia which charts the ‘Fab Four’s’ rise to fame. You can also purchase skip-the-line tickets .

For those that way inclined, bus tours are available with stops at Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields which should whet the appetite for a visit to the Cavern Club, the venue that hosted The Beatles’ first-ever gig in 1961 and remains the spiritual home of the city’s music scene.

Additionally, one may consider taking in Liverpool Cathedral, the biggest in Britain and the fifth largest in Europe, The World Museum, which charts the history of… the world or for those interested in World War II, the award-winning U-boat Story in Birkenhead.

Liverpool is renowned for its nightlife with Ropewalks considered the liveliest area. It has a rival for its title in the form of The Baltic Triangle. Converted warehouses now throng with creative businesses, alternative cafés and bars alongside places to eat. Some of the more celebrated traditional pubs are also found here and in Roscoe Street, though Liverpool’s pub offerings are fairly widespread.

‘Scouse’ is the city’s traditional food which typically contains a form of meat, potatoes, vegetables and herbs. It’s usually served with crusty bread and/or red cabbage, with some places offering a vegetarian/vegan take. It also gave rise to the term ‘Scouser’, which describes someone who comes from Liverpool.

Where to Stay in Liverpool

The Dolby Hotel – This hostel overlooking the Mersey River is a great mid-range option in Liverpool. Located within easy walking distance of some of the city’s best attractions, there is also breakfast included in the room rate.

Titanic Hotel Liverpool – This hotel is a fantastic choice if your budget is on the higher side. Centrally located, this hotel has numerous amenities including an on-site spa and fitness centre and a restaurant. There are a range of rooms available.

Kabannas Liverpool – This centrally-located hostel is a good option for budget and solo travellers. There are both dorm and private rooms available, good common areas to meet other travellers and clean and comfortable facilities.

Cocky and confident, the stereotypical Mancunian has a special bond to their home – a bond and sense of spirit that came to the fore during the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 2017.

The place that provided the spark for the Industrial Revolution, the mills have made way for museums, sporting facilities and a new Manchester reflected in the glut of hip, trendy shops, restaurants and bars. It’s simply a cool place to be right now.

Accessibility

In order to visit either city, one has to be able to get there. But not to worry, Manchester has transport links in abundance and getting around shouldn’t be a problem either.

It’s encircled by the M60 which connects to other major road routes. Expect a car journey from London to take approximately 4 and-a-half hours. Chorlton Street Coach station in the City centre is served by National Express and Megabus coach companies, again connecting Manchester with numerous towns and cities nationwide.

The three main train stations in Manchester (Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Victoria) have direct rail links to major northern cities, Edinburgh , Birmingham and London, where a journey to or from the latter will take in the region of 2 to 3 hours.

These stations can be travelled between on a free bus, which also stops at shopping districts and business areas. View bus & train timetables here .

Unlike Liverpool, Manchester has its own tram system (Metrolink) with frequent services that cover popular tourist spots, alongside buses that serve the Greater Manchester area.

If flying into or out of the North West, then Manchester Airport, the third-largest in the UK, is likely to one’s arrival point. The airport connects to the city via its own regional railway station and Metrolink stop.

The streets of Manchester are navigable by foot with people employed as ‘City Hosts’ in the main shopping areas who are on hand to assist with queries one may have regarding public transport, site seeing or local events and anything else Manchester-related.

Tram in Manchester

In terms of finances, although potentially a bit more expensive overall, a trip to Manchester shouldn’t cost the Earth or any of the smaller planets.

Again, one should have no problem finding a suitable bed for the night, whatever the need. As in Liverpool, expect competition for rooms from football fans when the home teams, United and City, play.

Most people will find somewhere that can cater to their dietary requirements. Some mid-range restaurants and prices for alcohol may be slightly higher in Manchester than one may find for the equivalent in Liverpool.

Head to the Northern Quarter for Manchester’s biggest and arguably, the best blend of eateries. Independently run establishments have made their home here from traditional pubs to vegan fast food joints.

Be wary though, as some of the more popular venues may require a reservation. Housed in an Edwardian-age building in the city centre, the Corn Exchange offers Italian, Indian, Mexican and Vietnamese dining options to name but a few.

Manchester’s major museums and attractions are also free to enter with the option for donating or paying for additional activities.

Public transport can be made cheaper by purchasing the integrated System One travel Card, with numerous tariffs for travel using the bus, tram and train across the Greater Manchester region.

Panoramic view of Manchester

Things to do in Manchester

Any extended trip to Manchester will allow for some exposure to their influential and unique historical pasts. Manchester is widely considered the location that brought us the Industrial Revolution and this period is analysed in the Science and Industry Museum.

Located centrally, the museum is known for housing what’s believed to be the world’s oldest surviving passenger railway station alongside a collection of steam engines and various forms of industrial machinery.

The exhibitions plot the change and development of technology over time and the role Manchester played. The museum will appeal to all age groups with demonstrations and interactive stands providing added entertainment.

On a bench in Sackville Park sits a statue dedicated to the brilliant mathematician Alan Turing. Famed for his work at Bletchley Park in helping to crack the German Naval Enigma code during World War II, Turing taught at the University of Manchester during the 1940s and ’50s.

As a gay man, which was illegal at the time, Turing was said to have taken his own life after eating a poisoned apple, which can be seen sitting in the statue’s right hand.

Manchester has much to offer the avid football fan being home to two of England’s biggest football clubs- Manchester United and Manchester City. City, once dubbed United’s ‘noisy neighbours’ have emerged from the shadows of their red rivals to become Premier League Champions.

Both clubs offer tours of their grounds (Old Trafford and The Etihad) with the usual stops (dressing rooms, pitch and dugout). For those who are, for whatever reason, of the red persuasion, there is the Manchester United Museum & Stadium Tour , tickets to which are valid for a year.

Similarly to Liverpool, tickets for games are tricky to get and need to be planned well in advance. Sign up to your club’s of choice membership base before your trip or look for buying opportunities at reputable resellers.

Inside Old Trafford - the home of Man U!

If you love football but couldn’t care less about United or City, then the National Football Museum could be the solution. The world’s biggest museum dedicated to the beautiful game looks at the sport from social, cultural and sporting perspectives. Highlights include memorabilia from the 1966 World Cup Final including the once-lost but now-found (thanks to a dog), Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy.

For other highlights try the People’s History Museum, which introduces and discusses Britain’s political past and the award-winning building that is the Lowry Art complex in Salford Quays.

Liverpool or Manchester: The Verdict

So which city is better to visit? Well, despite their rivalry on and off the football field, these are destinations that share much in common.

Both cities have emerged from troubling times and garnered a trendier, modern side that has hybridised with their commercial and industrial pasts.

With prices cheaper than London , but a food and drink scene to match, these icons of the North West offer the visitor much to see and do- a lot of it free and accessible by foot, should that umbrella hold out of course…

If Britain’s maritime past ‘floats your boat’ so to speak and one has a penchant for a good walk along a famous waterfront, then Liverpool would be the natural choice, particularly if passionate about the Beatles and/or Liverpool FC.

However, should one of Manchester’s Premier League Clubs be the subject of your calling, then Manchester might make a more ideal trip, with the added bonus of the National Football Museum being in town. Manchester’s ties to the Industrial Revolution will also make for an interesting, educational stay.

But, with only an hour or so between them along the M62, instead of trying to pick one of Liverpool or Manchester to visit, it might be more of a case of choosing which one to take in first.

Are you thinking of visiting either of these cities? Have any questions? Let us know in the comments below!

About Adrian Fisk

Adrian is a writer for The World Was Here First. He is a passionate world traveller and spends most of his free time travelling around his native England, jetting off to Europe and planning excursions further afield.

When visiting the City of Manchester remember that you visit two cities. The centre comprises both Manchester city centre and the adjoining City of Salford inner area. When in the city centre you might actually be in Salford. E.g. the 5 star city centre Lowry Hotel is on the Salford side of the River Irwell.

Manchester has much more to offer than Liverpool. As an inland port and the first industrial city it truly is unique.

No Manchester hasn’t more to offer than Liverpool. Beaches zoos safari parks. To name a few

Liverpool is a better experience. It is a beautiful city.
