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.

Explore Liverpool: Best Ways to Travel Around the City

Exploring Liverpool’s vibrant streets and waterfronts is an adventure I always relish. With its rich cultural heritage and bustling city life, finding the best way to travel around is key to experiencing all it has to offer. Whether you’re here to visit the Beatles Story or catch a football match, getting around should be part of the fun.

I’ve navigated through the city countless times and discovered that each mode of transport has its own charm. From the efficiency of the Merseyrail to the scenic ferry across the Mersey, Liverpool’s transport options are as diverse as its attractions. Let’s dive into the heart of this iconic city and find out the best ways to roam its historic streets and hidden gems.

The Charm of Walking in Liverpool

When I think about truly experiencing Liverpool, walking comes to mind as the quintessential way to soak in the city’s essence. Liverpool’s walkability is a treasure for both visitors and locals alike. The allure of the historic Albert Dock or the cobbled streets of the Cavern Quarter is often best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

I’ve found that wandering on foot offers a unique perspective. You’ll notice the intricate architecture, stumble upon quaint cafes , and interact with friendly Liverpudlians. Each step unfolds a new layer of Liverpool’s rich tapestry. The Royal Liver Building and Liverpool Cathedral stand out as landmarks that command more appreciation when seen up close, without the separation a vehicle provides.

Walking tours are popular here, and they fuse storytelling with sightseeing — a perfect blend for history enthusiasts. As I meander through Hope Street , the contrast between the historic and contemporary becomes strikingly evident. It’s not just about the destinations but the experiences in-between that make walking through Liverpool so captivating.

Safety is prime, and Liverpool’s investment in well-lit pathways and signposted routes means you can stroll with confidence. My recommendation? Lace-up some comfortable shoes and let your curiosity guide you through this multifaceted urban landscape.

Embracing the Scenic Views: Ferry Crossings

Ferry trips are a quintessential part of the Liverpool experience. As I glide across the River Mersey, the panoramic views of the city’s skyline are nothing short of breathtaking. It’s not just a crossing; it’s a historical journey that’s been pivotal to Liverpool’s maritime heritage . The Mersey Ferry has become an iconic symbol of the city, offering a unique vantage point from which the vibrant waterfront can be truly appreciated.

The River Explorer Cruise stands out, giving me a chance to take in the unobstructed views of landmarks like the Royal Liver Building, the Pier Head, and the Museum of Liverpool. The narration on board provides an intriguing glimpse into the city’s past, threading stories with the ebb and flow of the river. For those who cherish the tranquillity of the water and the tales of bygone eras, this is an unmissable adventure.

The ferries are not just for tourists though; they’re a lifeline for locals, and integrating this mode of transport into my journey around Liverpool enriches the overall experience. Whether it’s to hop between attractions or simply to enjoy the serenity of the Mersey, a ferry ride offers both convenience and a dash of romance to a day spent exploring. What’s more, the breeze on the ferry deck is a refreshing contrast to the urban stroll, providing a dynamic way to traverse Liverpool’s diverse landscape .

Discovering the Local Culture with the Bus System

The bus system in Liverpool is a vibrant artery pulsing through the city, providing an intimate look at the local culture. I’ve found that hopping on a bus can whisk me away to neighborhoods that brim with character, each telling its own story through eclectic markets, quaint cafes, and street art.

Taking the bus offers a panoramic experience of Liverpool’s diverse communities. I can peer into the everyday lives of Liverpudlians, seeing beyond the typical tourist trails. It’s fascinating to observe the dynamic between the bustling city centre and the more serene suburban areas, both integral to Liverpool’s unique identity.

Affordability and Convenience are key advantages to using the bus. Here’s a quick glimpse of what to expect:

• The cost is pocket-friendly
• There are frequent services across the city
• Real-time tracking is available via apps

I’ve also discovered cultural treasures on these bus journeys, such as vibrant murals in the Baltic Triangle or the historic influence seen around Penny Lane. The routes themselves can be self-guided tours, guiding me through landmark sites and lesser-known locales.

The Speed and Efficiency of Merseyrail

When it’s time to cover more ground swiftly, I find Merseyrail to be a stellar choice. Known for its punctuality and extensive network , the local train service connects various parts of Liverpool and extends to the wider Merseyside area. What impresses me most is how Merseyrail melds speed with convenience – a combination that’s hard to beat when you’re on a tight schedule or simply prefer a quick commute.

I’ve noticed that travellers are often surprised by the frequency of the trains; during peak times, they run every 15 minutes, ensuring that even if you miss one, you won’t be waiting long for the next. Plus, Merseyrail’s coverage is impressive: with four main lines – Northern, Wirral, City, and Hunts Cross – spanning over 75 miles of track and serving 68 stations, it’s easy to find a station near most major attractions and residential areas.

Here’s a quick snapshot of Merseyrail’s efficiency:

• Trains during peak times : Every 15 minutes
• Main lines : Northern, Wirral, City, Hunts Cross
• Total track length : Over 75 miles
• Number of stations : 68

The affordability of Merseyrail can’t be overlooked either. They offer a range of tickets, including day savers and family tickets, which are perfect for cost-conscious explorers like me who still demand quality service. Riding the Merseyrail not only gets you to your destination quickly but also provides a window to the distinct personality of Liverpool’s outskirts, which you might miss if confined to the city centre.

As the Merseyrail glides through tunnels and overground stretches, I’m often caught up in the views of suburban life, industrial areas transforming into creative spaces, and the peaceful countryside that borders the city. It’s a reminder that there’s always more to Liverpool than meets the eye, and sometimes a swift journey on the train renews my appreciation for the city’s dynamic contrasts.

Exploring Liverpool’s Streets by Bike

While the Merseyrail offers rapid transit across the city, cycling presents a refreshing alternative for soaking in Liverpool’s vibrant atmosphere. With dedicated bike lanes and the city’s bicycle sharing scheme, Bike & Go, it’s convenient for anyone to embark on a two-wheeled adventure. I find pedalling through the Georgian Quarter not only invigorating but also incredibly scenic with its historic architecture.

The city’s bike-friendly approach means I can easily navigate through popular spots like the Beatles Story and the revitalised Albert Dock without the hassle of traffic. Here’s what makes cycling in Liverpool stand out:

• Abundant cycle paths and tracks
• Affordable bike rental options
• Reduction in carbon footprint

The sense of freedom when gliding past the Mersey River is unmatched and it’s amazing how much more of the city I can experience from the saddle. As I cycle, the interaction with locals and the street-level view crafts a far more intimate experience of Liverpool’s charm.

It's hard not to be infected by a Liverpudlian's love for their own city. For decades this was a hardscrabble town beset by all manner of social ills, but still the love endured, finding its expression in a renowned gallows wit and an obsession with football.

A day trip to Liverpool is a great idea because the city centre is pretty compact and connected well by public transport. Plus, Liverpool is so iconic you only need to see a few of the top places to visit in Liverpool to feel like you’ve truly seen this famous city !

Find What You're Looking For Easily Here!

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 – $$$$

The city is accessible by train from Manchester , as well as London and Wales, and is a great place to spend a few days while visiting England.

Here are 15 of the best things to do when visiting Liverpool.

The Tate Liverpool is also accessible for visitors with disabilities. Don't miss the colorful café, which features the designs of British pop artist Sir Peter Blake. This location is free for all visitors, although some special exhibitions are ticketed.

Tour Liverpool Cathedral

Liverpool Cathedral, built on St. James's Mount, is the largest cathedral and religious building in Britain. Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, the impressive building was constructed over several decades starting in 1904. Today, visitors are welcome to explore the architecture with a self-guided tour or by attending a worship service. You can also ascend Vestey Tower, which boasts open-air, 360-degree views of Liverpool with a paid ticket. For an extra special experience, check the cathedral's bell-ringing calendar and plan accordingly.

Shop in St. George’s Quarter

Dating back to the Victorian era, St. George's Quarter is a central neighborhood of Liverpool, directly accessible from the city's main train station, Lime Street Station. It's home to several museums, including the Walker Art Gallery , while the city's Central Library is nearby. St. George's Quarter is also a popular shopping district, with numerous high street shops and boutiques ready for perusing. Look for St. Johns Shopping Centre , an expansive indoor mall, and popular British department store John Lewis , located just a few blocks south.

Explore the World Museum

The World Museum is Liverpool's oldest museum is the World Museum, which initially opened its doors in 1853. It hosts extensive collections covering topics such as archaeology, ethnology, and the natural and physical sciences, as well as special exhibitions. There is also a café and an indoor picnic room for those who prefer to pack a lunch. Don't skip the planetarium, which showcases space-themed programs for a small ticket fee. Admission itself is free, making this an ideal stop for budget travelers and families.

See a Show at the Cavern Club

Around since the 1950s, the Cavern Club is best known as the birthplace of the Beatles and is a must-do for all music lovers in Liverpool. The music venue, of course, frequently books Beatles tribute bands, who put on lively shows of all your favorite tunes. There is an assortment of other resident musicians who regularly perform at the Cavern Club, so don't worry if the Beatles aren't your thing. There are two stages—the front stage and the Cavern Live Lounge—so check the calendar in advance and book tickets accordingly; live music beings at 11 a.m. every day.

Cheer on Liverpool Football Club

Liverpool Football Club, also known as Liverpool F.C., competes in the Premier League. Even if you're not a soccer fan, seeing a match in England is a memorable experience, especially when cheering on the home team. The team plays at Anfield Stadium, so plan in advance if you want to score some tickets. If there are no games taking place during your visit to Liverpool, Anfield offers stadium tours , which showcase the team's museum, trophy display, and player's tunnel. While it's not recommended to bring young kids to football matches, the stadium tour is appropriate for visitors of all ages.

Stroll Through Sefton Park

Found in south Liverpool, Sefton Park is one of the city's best public parks, featuring more than 235 acres of greenery. The park, officially created in 1872, is open 24 hours a day and has numerous things to see and do. Walk along the lake, or explore Palm House, a three-tier dome conservatory that frequently hosts events and performances. You'll also find a playground, several cafés, an aviary, and numerous fountains and monuments. Be sure to see the Victorian-era bandstand, which is said to be the inspiration for the popular Beatles' song "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Visit Crosby Beach

At first glance, Crosby Beach might seem to be populated by a slew of lone figures, staring into the horizon. But the beach, located on the Merseyside coastline in north Liverpool, is actually the permanent home to "Another Place," a compelling sculpture by artist Antony Gormley. Free parking is available in several nearby lots, or visitors can arrive from central Liverpool by train. It's a beautiful place to walk, and the beach is also the starting point for the 22-mile Sefton Coastal Path. Crosby Beach isn't very welcoming to swimmers, although it does have lifeguards. Those who do want to take a dip should venture over to Formby, Ainsdale, and Southport beaches, which can be found slightly further north.

Explore Royal Albert Dock

Liverpool's thriving waterfront, Royal Albert Dock, has been redeveloped over the past few years and is now a vibrant cultural hub. It's within walking distance of central Liverpool, making it a must-do while visiting the northern city. There are numerous restaurants and bars to choose from, including Turncoat , a local gin distillery and bar, and The Smugglers Cove , which offers 141 rums and 80 beers. Royal Albert Dock is a good option for those searching for a unique souvenir, as the area boasts more local boutiques than chains. Additionally, the waterfront is home to the Tate Liverpool and the Merseyside Maritime Museum .

Go Back in History at The Beatles Story

The Beatles are an integral part of Liverpool's history. Fans can immerse themselves in the band's music and legacy at The Beatles Story, the world's largest permanent exhibition about the lives and times of the English rock band. The exhibition features replicas of the Casbah, Mathew Street, Abbey Road Studios, and the Cavern Club, as well as memorabilia and photographs. There is also a café and shop, where you can buy all sorts of Beatles-themed gifts and merchandise. The Beatles Story is located on Royal Albert Dock, easily accessible from central Liverpool by foot or public transportation. Visitors are recommended to book tickets online in advance.

Visit the Walker Art Gallery

Liverpool's acclaimed Walker Art Gallery houses one of the largest art collections in England outside London, and features paintings, sculptures, and decorative art from the 13th century to the present day. For families, there is also a dedicated children's gallery dubbed "Big Art for Little Artists." The collection is vast, so give yourself a few hours to fully explore the rooms. Admission is free, with the exception of special exhibits; tickets don't need to be booked in advance, so head over any time during your stay in Liverpool.

Ascend Radio City Tower

The 457-foot-tall Radio City Tower, also known as St Johns Beacon, was built in 1969 and opened by Queen Elizabeth II. While the tower is home to a working radio station, travelers can still visit the 394-foot observation deck for panoramic views of the city. (On clear days, you can even see as far as the Lake District , Blackpool , and Snowdonia !) There are no stairs involved in the ascent, making the deck accessible for all visitors. Tickets can be booked online in advance.

Grab a Pint at the Shipping Forecast

The Shipping Forecast, one of Liverpool's favorite pubs, doubles as a music venue that has hosted the likes of Mark Ronson and Disclosure. It has a laid-back atmosphere, with lots of different brews on tap, and there's a solid food menu featuring pub classics like fish and chips. Stop by during a sports match or come for the live music. Tables can be booked in advance online, which is recommended on weekends or holidays.

Embark on the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour

Heritage Images

While visitors to Liverpool can of course make their way to all the Beatles sites on their own, the easiest way to experience Liverpool's Fab Four history is via tour bus. The two-hour Magical Mystery Tour , hosted by the Cavern Club, stops by all the places associated with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Tours start at the Royal Albert Dock and continue on to the Beatles' childhood homes, schools, and colleges, as well as the real-life places that inspired some of their most memorable songs like "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Field." Buy tickets in advance to ensure you get a spot onboard the whimsical bus.

Liverpool Day Trip: The Perfect 1 Day in Liverpool Itinerary

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 .

Looking for UK day trips ? Read my 1 day itineraries for Oxford , Bath , Brighton , Margate , the Cotswolds and Cardiff .

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.

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!!

Reds welcome arsenal fixture decision and consider travel options.

Liverpool Football Club has welcomed a decision to stage our away fixture at Arsenal on Friday December 22 rather than on Christmas Eve, and is now considering a range of options with a view to providing assistance to our supporters who plan to attend the game.

It has been confirmed the Reds’ trip to the Gunners will not be contested on Christmas Eve and will instead take place at Emirates Stadium two days earlier in order to accommodate live broadcast by Sky Sports, with kick-off set for 7.45pm.

“First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that both the Premier League and Sky Sports have listened to the concerns that were expressed by fans and by ourselves and acted upon them,” said LFC chief executive, Peter Moore.

“It is to their credit that on this occasion they have shown themselves to be flexible and have come to a decision which we feel is preferable to asking our supporters to travel to London on Christmas Eve with all of the difficulties and potential problems that such an arrangement would have entailed.

“At Liverpool, we never take our supporters for granted and while we recognise that moving the fixture to a Friday night is more desirable than the alternative, we also realise that it is not an ideal solution for those who will be undertaking a testing journey to London at a particularly busy time of year.

“For that reason, we are looking to see what we can do to help those fans who are planning to make the trip and have already entered into dialogue with supporters’ representatives, including the Liverpool Supporters Trust/Spirit Of Shankly, in order to discuss the options that are available to us.”

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)

Jürgen Klopp's wife has already decided what he will do after Liverpool summer exit

With input from his wife, Jürgen Klopp has already decided what he will do after he leaves Liverpool. The German is set to take a break from management.

After J ü rgen Klopp's exit from Liverpool, his wife Ulla has big plans for him. Those include cooking and dance classes.

Klopp announced in January that he would be stepping down from his role after nearly nine years at the helm. Anticipating a hiatus of at least a year after over 20 years of near-continuous management, the German's wife has already charted out his short-term future.

With just over a month left of Klopp's time at Anfield , it seems his post-Liverpool plans have been sorted, courtesy of his wife. She was instrumental in convincing him to renew his contract with the Reds in 2022.

Instead of joining another club or taking charge of the Germany national team , Ulla hopes her husband will spend more time at home. And she has lined up cooking and dance classes for him once his stint at Anfield ends.

"There's a few things Ulla [Klopp's wife] told me — I have to learn cooking and a dance class. I said you don't want me to have a break because if I do that I will start working after four weeks again! " Klopp revealed in his chat with Sky News .

"I should learn cooking probably so I can at least make some breakfast or whatever. This will be the first time in my life where I don't have a real idea of what I will do and that's exactly what I want.

"During COVID I did scrambled eggs but after that I forgot it again. I was raised in the Black Forest with two sisters, the only reason I knew where the kitchen was because the smell came from there! I'm pretty useless in private life."

Before he shifts his attention to domestic duties, Klopp has his eyes set on potential glory in the Premier League and Europa League . Despite slim odds for European success , the German is determined to drive his squad forward.

"We talk and remind the boys of the things we are really good at because we are really good. That's the reason we are where we are, we just have to show that every day and that's now the situation," Klopp remarked.

"That's not new, for some the situation might be a bit new but that's when the more experienced players have to step in and lead the pack on the pitch. For me I've had enough parades and parties, it was never about that and it will never be (about that).

"But I would love to give the people the opportunity to celebrate something special and I think it would be right as well. I'm still happy we are still in that fight. I want to make sure we really go for it.

"Sometimes life and football are the same you need a proper smash to realize why you do what you do and we got that smash and we will use it. What's important is that the Liverpool people are happy with what we did that's the only important thing."

Liverpool.com says: It's not just Jürgen who will hold a special place in the hearts of Liverpool fans. Ulla made herself something of a hero by convincing her husband to sign a new contract back in 2022. Without her, he might have ended up leaving earlier.

It's only right then that she gets to decide what he'll do in his time off. Having seen some of his moves after the 2019 Champions League triumph, those dance lessons might not be a bad call...
