Getting around

Liverpool is a super easy city to navigate, whether you’re pounding the pavement or hopping on public transport. The city centre is compact, meaning most of the major attractions are within walking distance. But if you want to save your legs, the Merseyrail train system is a dream—fast, reliable, and dirt cheap. There’s also a whopper bus network, and if you’re feeling fancy, you can even zip across the Mersey on a ferry (yes, like the song). And for those arriving from further afield, Liverpool Lime Street Station is bang in the city centre, with direct train links to major UK destinations.

Things to do for families in Liverpool

Got the kiddos in tow? Liverpool is packed with family-friendly fun. Start at the World Museum, where little ones can marvel at Egyptian mummies, dinosaurs, and a planetarium that’ll have them dreaming of the stars. For something interactive, Mattel Play! is a winner, bringing beloved characters like Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine to life. Fancy a bit of fresh air? Take a trip to Sefton Park, a lush green space with a beautiful Victorian Palm House and a lake perfect for feeding the ducks. And of course, you can’t visit Liverpool without hopping on the Mersey Ferry—it’s a classic! Add in a visit to the Museum of Liverpool, where kids can explore the city’s history in a fun and interactive way, and you’ve got a proper good family day out.

Things to do for couples in Liverpool

If you’re planning a romantic getaway, Liverpool serves up the perfect blend of charm and excitement. Start with a stroll along the Albert Dock, soaking up the stunning waterfront views before diving into one of its many cosy bars. For culture-loving couples, a visit to the Tate Liverpool offers a dreamy mix of contemporary and classic art. Want to dial up the romance? Book a sunset cocktail at Panoramic 34, one of the UK’s highest restaurants, boasting spectacular skyline views. And if you’re up for something unique, take a romantic Liverpool Ghost Tour, wandering through the city’s historic (and slightly spooky) streets. Finally, top it all off with a show at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall—because nothing says date night like a bit of live music.

Things to do for groups in Liverpool

Liverpool is an absolute belter of a city for group getaways. If you and your mates fancy a laugh, head to Breakout Liverpool, where you can put your heads together to crack an escape room challenge. For football fans, a stadium tour of Anfield or Goodison Park is a must. And if your group is more about the nightlife, you’re in for a treat. The Baltic Triangle is the go-to spot for quirky bars, street food, and live music, while Concert Square is where the party people head for a proper buzzing night out. Need to recover the next day? A lazy afternoon at Formby Beach—complete with coastal walks and maybe a glimpse of some cheeky red squirrels—is the perfect way to reset before round two.

Things to do for foodies in Liverpool

Liverpool’s food scene is a proper mix of Scouse classics and international delights. Start your day with a legendary breakfast at The Brunch Club, famous for its over-the-top pancakes and top-tier coffee. If you fancy trying the city’s most famous dish, Lobscouse (a hearty stew), get yourself to Ma Boyle’s for an authentic taste of Liverpool’s history. For something fancier, The Art School serves up Michelin-level British cuisine with a creative twist. And if you’re after street food, head to Baltic Market, where you can tuck into everything from wood-fired pizza to Korean fried chicken. Fancy a tipple? Berry & Rye, a hidden speakeasy-style bar, serves some of the best cocktails in town—if you can find it!
