The Docks
0.9 miles from downtown
Follow the Mersey’s flow to feel the city’s pulse. Once home to heavy industry, today this waterfront district blends cultural heritage with exciting nightlife. Delve into its shipping past at the Maritime Museum or join the big sing-along at the Beatles Story. Rock ‘n’ stroll around Albert Dock – it’s got pubs and clubs to beat the band.

Chinatown
0.6 miles from downtown
Liverpool is home to Europe’s oldest Chinese community. So, it’s no surprise that you’ll find the best noodles in town here. Duke Street’s glut of affordable pan-Asian eateries draws a young, studenty crowd. The area’s hard to miss – two bronze lions and a multi-coloured, 15-metre high Imperial Arch welcome you to the neighbourhood.

Cavern Quarter
0.5 miles from downtown
Centred on Mathew Street, this is the boisterous birthplace of the Merseybeat. Join the jamboree of Beatlemaniacs and ’60s nostalgists at the Cavern Club. A replica of the bulldozed original, it still delivers a hard day’s night of music and merriment. If DJs and cocktail bars are more your scene, Victoria Street’s the place to be seen.

-
Hope Street Quarter
0.7 miles from downtown
This upscale area pops to life like a period TV show, all cobbled alleys and grand Georgian houses. Visit 60 Hope Street, a listed-townhouse turned swanky bistro that’s popular among theatre luvvies. Get in on the act and see a play at the Everyman Theatre. It’s been a bohemian breeding ground for politically-charged drama since 1964.

-
St George's Quarter
0.2 miles from downtown
This old Victorian hub seems stiff at first. Its numerous Neoclassical buildings are hard to tell apart. Yet the stoic columns of St George’s Hall stand out like Liverpool’s answer to the Parthenon. Here, passionate locals gather to celebrate famous football victories or show their political colours. Don’t be shy, the more the merrier!

RopeWalks
0.6 miles from downtown
“How boss is this place, la’? Eh, how long’s a piece of rope?!” This is a bar-hopper’s heaven, and Scousers swear by Seel Street. Try the Shipping Forecast for gourmet burgers and hip craft beers. Then wiggle the wee hours away at Alma de Cuba’s church turned Carnival club. Its Sunday brunch with live gospel choir soothes any sore heads.

About Liverpool
Including tips for the best time to visit Liverpool
Liverpool is a city of rapid growth and a hotspot for pop culture.
Liverpool used to be one of the UK’s most important trade and migration ports, and today the city's focal point is the old docks. Here, the contemporary Museum of Liverpool traces the city’s roots, while the Tate Liverpool gallery showcases modern art from around the world. The Royal Albert Dock is known for its Liverpool ONE shopping mall and is home to the Beatles Story museum. Learn all about Liverpool’s most famous musical export, then take a magical mystery tour of all the places associated with the "fab four" around town. From childhood homes and schools to Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, the city center is full of sites that inspired some of their most memorable songs. And if that’s not enough, catch a gig at the legendary Cavern Club, where The Beatles often performed before they were famous.
For many, Liverpool isn't only synonymous with music, but soccer as well. If you can score tickets, be sure to catch a game at Anfield—home to Liverpool FC—or else take a tour of the club’s museum to learn about its historic achievements.
Even if you spent eight days a week here, you could still find plenty more things to do and see, but Liverpool can even be enjoyed over a quick breakl

If you want a weekend in a city where everyone from the area is kind and polite then Liverpool is the place to go. There is excellent nightlife with live music every night and great places to eat. The central area is walkable even from the train station to Albert Dock with lots inbetween.
The people of Liverpool were friendly and very helpful.
April 26, 2024
The people of Liverpool were friendly and very helpful. People would come to me when they saw I needed assistance in finding my way to various venues. The only disappointment was the Wheel that cost £11 each even as a concession price and a complete waste of money, not recommended. The Liver Building 360 degree visit was good but reception should communicate with people with lack of mobility that the visit may be difficult, we paid £17.50 each and my wife had to stop at 10th floor as she could not use the 120-odd steps to the next floor where the viewing gallery was located.

I have been to Liverpool before but still so much more to see and do. With a cathedrals to visit, the Beatles houses, the Cavern club and an impressive shopping area to name but a few. So many lovely restaurants and a very vibrant night life, would be great for a range of ages
Plenty to see and do.
April 23, 2024
Plenty to see and do. Beatles and Titanic history attractions, Liverpool wheel and close to the M&S arena if you are going to a show there. Most accessible to wheelchair / mobility scooter users
River cruise and tour bus brilliant.
April 22, 2024
River cruise and tour bus brilliant. Very friendly people. Loved both the Catholic and Anglican cathedrals. The meal in All Bar One adjoining the property was good, as was the Wethersppoons next door. Over the road from a rail station so easy to get to. Close to Pier Head and shopping centre. Great value River cruise and tour bus. Also visited Crosby on Merseyraol, excellent service. I hope to return soon.

Crossing the roads, it would be more helpful to have the green man in sight opposite to you as in London. More readily available clear bus route maps would be useful. Visitor maps as available in hotel don’t show enough road names. The waterfront and the galleries and buildings and the bus and boat trips are all wonderful. The people are friendly and helpful. Lots of bus routes and excellent hotels. Restaurants and fish and chips offer good choice. Nightlife is buzzing. The Beatles connection obviously very important.
