The Docks
0.9 miles from city centre
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 city centre
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 city centre
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.
Places to stay from £55 per night
Hope Street Quarter
0.7 miles from city centre
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.
Places to stay from £22 per night
St George's Quarter
0.2 miles from city centre
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 city centre
“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.

Liverpool is a city of rapid growth, with an infectious enthusiasm for pop culture.
Formerly one of the UK’s most important trade and migration ports, 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 across the globe. The Royal Albert Dock is known for its Liverpool ONE shopping centre and being the home of the Beatles Story museum. You can learn all about Liverpool’s most treasured musical quartet here, or take a magical mystery tour of all the places associated with the fab four. From childhood homes and schools to Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, the city centre is full of sites that inspired some of their most memorable songs. And if that’s not enough, you could watch a band play at the legendary Cavern Club, where The Beatles often performed before they were famous.
For many, Liverpool is not only synonymous with music but also football. If you can find tickets, be sure to catch a game at Anfield – home to Liverpool FC – or failing that, take a tour of the club’s museum to learn about its historic achievements.
You could spend eight days a week here, as The Beatles say, and still find plenty of things to do and attractions to see, but a short break is all it takes to get a good grasp on this vibrant city.

The best City I've visited in U.
27 April 2024
The best City I've visited in U.K. So much to see and do. The Western approaches WWII Museum, is a must visit. A couple of hours learning about Luftwaffes bombing targets of Liverpool, The operations room, The Admirals office, the Wrens area and Churchill's bath. Visit the world famous Royal Liver building and take the guided tower tour, the panoramic view across the City, 360degree views are amazing. A great palce for a meal..."Bon Pan Asian Restaurant", Clayton Square, great value for money. The staff are friendly and efficient. Anyone visiting Liverpool must visit "Mathew Street", The Cavern, Erics, and The Grapes. The people of Liverpool are friendly and welcoming.

We found the people friendly and ready to share tips on things we might like to see and do. The history and culture of the city is great, so much to see and do, whatever your interests. There are many museums to visit that were free to enter and we had to visit the famous Cavern Club for a little live music... it exceeded our expectations and was something of a highlight. We arrived by train and found we were able to access all of the main attractions on foot and by using the buses. Would definitely recommend a short city break to Liverpool to others.

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.
26 April 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.

25 April 2024
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.

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
