Royal Albert Dock Liverpool is a vibrant waterfront area that has undergone a stunning renovation, shedding its industrial past to become one of Liverpool's most popular tourist attractions. It features a mix of museums, art galleries, family-friendly restaurants, and shops. The dock boasts the largest collection of Grade-listed buildings in the UK and offers picturesque waterfront views. Visitors can explore gift shops, cafes, and restaurants while enjoying pop-up food courts and love locks overlooking the Mersey.
Fantastic! Quite pricey as you’d expect from a hot tourist spot but it looked great, food was great, shops were stunning. Had a fun family day out just walking about. Very romantic for a date I’d say. My favourite part were jelly fish in the docks tho. The water was dirty and they looked dead but love jellyfish.

The Royal Albert Docks are a great spot to shop and enjoy the delicious foods Liverpool has to offer. No tickets are necessary unless you want to enter the beatles story experience, which is highly recommended. While.we were there there was always plenty of activity including crew teams practicing in the quay.

Historical landmark and one of the highlights of Liverpool. Perfect place for a morning, afternoon or evening stroll, catch up with friends for a cup of coffee or a drink. Albert Dock has some lovely places to eat with outdoor seating for any weather. Must visit when in Liverpool.
Asta V — Google review
Went in October, cold and very windy both sides of the dock . Mostly places to eat and a few souvenir shops pretty over priced . A sweet shop with a great jellybean pic of the Beatles in the window but again very overpriced. We had coffee & cake in the museum, which was free( not the coffee & cake ) which was the best bit for us lots of history … parking in the docks is £3 an hour which is quite steep . Overall worth a visit .

Great area... especially with the Beatles statue. An accoustic musician was performing Beatles tunes next to it, which set the tone. We started there on our Liverpool adventure. It was a relaxed environment, everyone was friendly and we felt safe the entire time. Being right on the water, it was great bird and people watching and we even snagged an ice cream from a street vendor while having a bit of a rest in the sun. Lovely experience and fantastic location!

Museum
Specialty Museums
Situated on the iconic Albert Dock, The Beatles Story Museum is a must-see for enthusiasts of the legendary band. It offers an immersive experience into the lives and journey of The Beatles through a collection of memorabilia, interactive displays, and cutting-edge exhibits. Visitors can trace the band's humble beginnings in Liverpool to their rise to global stardom.
The Beatles Story Museum was different than I anticipated, but highly enjoyable! We were greeted by kind and welcoming staff at the door and purchased tickets when we arrived. The ticket includes the audio guide, which isn’t just an enhancement, but a really essential part of the visit. The audio guide tells the story of the Beatles as you move from room to room. So it’s a combination of recreations and memorabilia, organized in a way to walk you through their story. I found it interesting and insightful. We were there just over an hour, though your visit could be longer if you listened to every bonus video and feature on the audio guide. Self-guided tour ends with a cafe and then a huge gift shop. So glad we did this when visiting Liverpool. It was different than anticipated, but in a good way!
Alyssa B — Google review
Not knowing what to expect and not really a big fan of museums we were pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The staff were very friendly and the audio was easy to use giving details as you walked around. The immersive areas were fantastic, walking around each area with background music really brought things to life. The yellow submarine, the cavern club, strawberry fields, abbey road, penny Lane... everything was amazing. We visited the actual cavern club the night before and the room in the museum was exactly the same. We are so glad we visited. The shop, cafe and discovery area where you could dress up as a beetle were all great too. Highly recommend, probably the best place we visited in Liverpool.
Paula — Google review
We had an AMAZING experience at The Beatles Story. Went on a Monday in the late morning. There were 4 of us, including our 8 year old Beatles obsessed son. The self guided audio tour allowed a lot of flexibility for our multi generational group. The exhibits were spot on and great photo ops! Learned a ton, had a blast! Definitely recommend!
Amanda N — Google review
It was really good. The replica of the cavern club and the yellow submarine were great. The shop is extensive with loads of beatles merch that my kids are now enjoying. Overall a great day The only downside was everyone walking around with the headphones and little tablets. Almost felt like I was in a zombie apocalypse. I had to keep interrupting my party to chat about it, or be interrupt myself when they wanted to chat.
Heather W — Google review
I recently visited The Beatles Story at the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, and it was an unforgettable experience! The museum beautifully captures the journey of The Beatles — from their early days in Liverpool and Hamburg to their rise as global music icons. The immersive exhibits, original memorabilia, and lifelike recreations of the Cavern Club and Abbey Road were amazing. The audio guide, included with the ticket, made the visit even more engaging, with detailed storytelling and music clips that bring the history to life. The flow of the museum is well-organized, and I recommend spending at least 1.5 to 2 hours to explore it fully. 🎟️ Tickets can be booked online (around £20 for adults) and it’s best to reserve in advance, especially on weekends or holidays. The staff were friendly and everything was easy to navigate. 🚆 Getting there: The museum is at Royal Albert Dock — about a 20-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station or a 5-minute walk from James Street Station. Buses and taxis are also convenient, and parking is available nearby. 💡 Visitor tips: • Go early to avoid crowds. • Don’t skip the audio guide — it adds so much depth! • Combine your visit with nearby attractions like the Maritime Museum or Tate Liverpool. • Wear comfortable shoes and take time to browse the Fab4 Café and souvenir shop. Overall, The Beatles Story is a must-visit for fans and even those with a casual interest in music history. It’s emotional, nostalgic, and very well presented — a true tribute to the Fab Four! 🎶
Shanz S — Google review
Very nice experience with a great history behind the band. You go down the steps into the entrance and are invited to have a green screen photo of yourselves as the beetles, Headsets are provided with short video's shown as you go around and yes you can sit down at various stops and enjoy the story, art, photos and videos of your self guided tour it IS a place to visit if your visiting the UK and enjoy old music and history made and shaped modern sound you have today. I provided a FEW photo's but you will have to visit to enjoy what's there ! Ps The staff are very friendly as are the locals who will guide you to and through the venue 👍

I brought my 2 children (5 and 8) for my son’s birthday and they loved it. I wasn’t sure if they would enjoy the headsets but they loved following the numbers and finding out all about the Beatles history. We even got to sit at John Lennon’s piano as it was my son’s birthday. The discovery zone was fab and the cafe even had a play area for them so I got some peace at the end. Loved it x
Laura G — Google review
An excellent experience. I spent the best part of 4 hours there because I wanted to learn about all the exhibits. The best part for me was the replica of the Cavern Club - I could just imagine myself there in the 60s, watching the Beatles play! I was slightly let down by the audio guide gadget, which stopped working halfway through my time there. Because there were no staff inside the exhibition, I had to walk through to the end, get a replacement and then go back in. That's why I've removed a star.

Tate Liverpool is a renowned art museum housed in converted dock buildings, showcasing both temporary and permanent contemporary international art exhibitions. Situated in the heart of Liverpool, it offers a diverse collection spanning centuries and various styles. Visitors can admire works by iconic artists such as Rembrandt, van Gogh, and Picasso alongside contemporary pieces.
Even as a pop-up version, it still has the power to delight and engage. Each gallery provided an opportunity to reflect and enjoy.

There is virtually nothing to see inside. Two galleries and a small shop. I'm not a fan of contemporary art and the biggest gallery is presenting this in their biennial collection. The second gallery has some rather interesting photos.
Dunnett A — Google review
Complete disappointment! The building is being refurbished, so we were directed by a notice assuring us that there was a temporary exhibition space alongside the RIBA where we would be able to see some art. We spent a while trying to find the building as there were no signs outside indicating we were at the right place. Having finally found it, we were told that there was no exhibition after all, and only one room with a rather uninspiring RIBA display that we were in no mood to try to interpret. What a shame!
Rachel S — Google review
There are a lot of worthy exhibits. As is usual in modern art, without descriptions not much would be clear, but the writing is very decent and really makes you see the meanings behind the clutter of objects. Picasso and Dalí are modestly neighboring with the most daring exhibits.

Nestled along the picturesque Mersey River at Mann Island, the Museum of Liverpool is a striking modern marvel that opened its doors in 2011. This purpose-built facility spans three floors and offers an immersive experience into the rich social history of this vibrant city. Visitors can explore interactive displays featuring photography, iconic objects, and captivating stories that highlight Liverpool's unique heritage.
Much like the museum itself, I could write an extensive review here that covers many, many areas of Liverpool's history and culture but it would simply take too long and you probably only want to know if this museum is worth your time. It is. This is an astoundingly good museum. There's so much here to see you should set aside a few hours and enjoy. Everything is so well curated, the building and staff are wonderful. We absolutely need to return to take in more information.

The Museum of Liverpool is a standout gem on the city’s waterfront—both architecturally and experientially. Its striking modern design sits beautifully on the Pier Head, and once inside, the views are simply stunning. Expansive glass windows offer sweeping panoramas of the River Mersey, making it feel like you're part of the landscape as you explore the museum. It’s a rare treat to find a space that connects the past and present so seamlessly, both inside and out. The exhibitions are as engaging as the setting. From Liverpool’s social and industrial history to its deep musical and sporting roots, everything is thoughtfully curated and full of local pride. Interactive displays and rich storytelling make it accessible and fascinating for all ages. But what made my visit truly special were the surprises. During my time there, a local community choir performed—unexpected and moving. It added such a warm, human element to the experience and underscored the museum’s role as a living part of the community, not just a place for static exhibits. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this museum offers more than you might expect. It’s a place where architecture, heritage, and people come together beautifully.

The Museum of Liverpool* is a fantastic modern museum that captures the heart and history of the city. Located along the iconic waterfront, it offers engaging exhibitions on Liverpool’s rich cultural, social, and industrial heritage. From The Beatles and football to the city’s maritime past, the museum tells powerful stories through interactive displays, artefacts, and multimedia. The architecture itself is striking, and the views of the Mersey from inside are stunning. It’s free to enter, family-friendly, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly understand Liverpool's identity.

Nipped in here with my 9 year old and my husband as we were in Liverpool to go to my university library. I have been here many times and everytime I feel like I am seeing something new or realising I missed something the last time I was there. The atmosphere is so calm 😌 The staff there are so lovely and helpful, lifts work and toilets were very clean. There were some interactive displays for the children to get involved in which was amazing to see. Will definitely be back 😀

​A Trip Through Time, with Room for Improvement: ​The Museum of Liverpool offers a truly compelling journey through the city's rich history, and my recent visit was filled with moments of discovery and appreciation. The exhibits themselves are thoughtfully curated, covering everything from the city's maritime past to its vibrant musical heritage. It's clear that a great deal of effort has gone into telling Liverpool's story, and the sheer breadth of content makes for a very interesting and informative visit. ​The staff also deserve a special mention. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always ready with a friendly smile and keen to answer any questions. Their enthusiasm for the museum and the city's history was infectious and added a lot to the overall experience. ​However, a couple of issues detracted from what could have been a perfect visit. The first was the use of audio within the displays. In several sections, audio—whether it was spoken dialogue or ambient sound—was playing, and the noise from multiple sources made it very difficult to concentrate. It was a real challenge to read the display boards and absorb the information when competing with overlapping audio from other parts of the exhibition. ​Secondly, the lighting in some areas was far too dim. While I appreciate the intention to create a certain atmosphere, the low light levels made it genuinely hard to view the items and, more importantly, to read the text on the display boards. I found myself straining to make out words and details, which took away from the enjoyment of the exhibits. ​Overall, the Museum of Liverpool is a must-visit for anyone interested in the city's past, thanks to its fascinating content and excellent staff. However, addressing the issues with audio and lighting would make the experience significantly more accessible and enjoyable for all visitors. The museum has the potential to be truly world-class, and these small changes would make a huge difference.

This is a truly unique museum, holding the distinction of being the world’s first dedicated to the history of a regional city. Admission is free, and it’s both informative and engaging, with the added bonus of a stunning, sweeping view of the River Mersey from one of its upper floors. For anyone who enjoys learning about the story of a city and her people, this museum is a must—especially when it’s a city as vibrant and special as Liverpool. One highlight for me was an exhibit featuring the different birds that once contended for the right to be associated with the city’s name—I had a good laugh there. My mum and I spent about two hours exploring, and still didn’t manage to see everything. It’s definitely the kind of place you can return to time and again, always leaving with something new learned.
Loshini R — Google review
The Museum of Liverpool may not immediately dazzle with flashy theatrics, but for anyone fascinated by history, it's a real treasure trove. As the first national museum devoted to the story of a regional city, its purpose-built building on Pier Head presents Liverpool’s past in a smart, contemporary setting. Inside, the museum is organized into four major thematic galleries: The Great Port, Global City, People's Republic, and Wondrous Place. These cover everything from Liverpool’s role in maritime trade and the empire, to its diverse communities, culture, migration, and urban development – spanning a timeline from prehistoric times to the present day. With over 6,000 objects on show, paired with interactive sections like History Detectives and the Little Liverpool play area for under‑6s, it's both educational and engaging. For history-buffs, the highlight is definitely the well-curated storytelling of Liverpool’s global influence, technological growth, and multicultural heritage. While it may lack the visual impact of larger museums, its depth and context are what make it stand out. A particular gem is the top-floor sports gallery, featuring exhibits and archives on football and other local sporting traditions, alongside multimedia displays celebrating the city’s sporting heritage . It's a fitting tribute to Liverpool's sporting culture and proves that even in a history museum, sports can play a starring role. Overall impression Not a flashy museum, but rich, thoughtfully curated, and highly rewarding for history enthusiasts. Clean, modern building with a logical layout across three public floors. The sports gallery on the top floor adds a dynamic touch and is well worth visiting. Ideal for those who appreciate Liverpool’s complex story—from maritime prowess to urban identity. If you're drawn to the narrative behind the city—its people, international connections, and evolving social fabric—this museum delivers an insightful and memorable experience.

The Cavern Club is a historic venue located in Liverpool, known for its intimate atmosphere and 1960s memorabilia. It hosts live tribute acts day and night, making it a must-visit for music enthusiasts. Situated in the vibrant nightlife quarter of Victoria Street, it offers a unique experience with its brick vaulted cellars and lively entertainment.
Totally amazing, be careful on the steps going down. Live music every day, awesome memorabilia every where, some rare guitars, drums clothes. They do have a goods lift at the rear, need to ask at the entrance to use it, must be accompanied by a member of staff, someone with a disability scooter was in the club. Enjoy

Probably the most famous club in the world. Bands doing short sets then change to another band. Plenty of memorabilia to look at around the walls and obviously plenty of Beatles covers by all bands. Decent selection of drinks and plenty of staff serving. But, the bar is CASHLESS. Also, a very varied age range of clientele, ranging from 20 to 70. Nice.

A must go place if you visit Liverpool. Fab experience and superb atmosphere. The pub is small and compact with low ceilings, but that’s exactly what you look. Wide variety of drinks including alcohol free beer. Price is similar to other pubs, surprisingly reasonable. It got a souvenir shop as well selling techies, cups and other Cavern Club accessories. An awesome cultural experience and the best pub we ever visited.

Stopped in at The Cavern Club after our Beatles tour while in Liverpool. The vibe was chill, with a musician performing, and you’re free to wander around at your own pace. Entry was £5, and I was surprised by how big it was underground, with tunnels leading into different rooms and bars. The memorabilia (though I wish there was more) added to the fun, nostalgic atmosphere. Overall, it’s a must for any Beatles fan, and I’m glad to have The Cavern Club under my belt as an important part of Beatles history. Saluti

Where The Beatles started out. We managed to get tickets for Saturday night performance by The Cavern Club Beatles. Support act was a solo keyboard player who was excellent and got the crowd warmed up. Then the band came on at 9.15 and wow, they were amazing, sounded just like the real thing! They did 4 sets with costume changes each time. 'John' was Uncannily like Lennon in looks and mannerisms. Fabulous night. Tip - lf you want a seat in front of stage queue at 7pm at the back entrance!!!!

No trip to Liverpool is complete without a visit to the cavern club. We went in the evening and entry was £5 per person. There are several flights of stairs to get in and the walls are covered in photos of people who have played there. The atmosphere was amazing. There is a lot of memorabilia from guitars, photos, toys etc. There is always live music which was very good and everyone singing along. There are a few tables and chairs but it was standing room only when we visited. A very reasonable entry fee for a fantastic evening.

I was not really bothered about going to the Cavern Club. But i really enjoyed it .There were a couple of groups playing while we were there an we thoroughly enjoyed them . It was really interesting walking around looking at the memorabilia. The only down side was the cost of the drinks which you can understand, but the £10 entrance fee was a bit steep. I would definitely recommend visiting The Cavern Club. If visiting Liverpool.

This iconic statue created by sculptor Andy Edwards is a must-visit for fans and tourists alike. It's a common spot for snapping selfies and experiencing a unique piece of memorabilia related to The Beatles' rich musical heritage in their hometown.

A very popular tourist destination for Liverpool, right on the door step of the Mersey ferry port. A very recommended journey for those who want to say they ferried across the Mersey. Just as a note the boat also does a brief tour so staying on the boat to get off at the original start point is an option as well as visiting the Beatles statue. The statue will be crowded for photo ops and visitors do show a good sense of queuing etiquette and time share for photos being taken with the boys. As a bonus for those of a certain era, there is also a Billy Fury statue at the some dock

Liverpool was overall the most amazing place and 99% of the people we spoke to or encountered were so friendly, happy and helpful some with great stories. The waterfront and the docks have so much to offer with the Merseyside ferry, shops at the dock, an amphibious vehicle tour, Liverpool building tour, beatles shop and cafe, a gorgeous boat called "Daffodil" to have food which was really lovely, a Liverpool museum, Tate gallery all in the space of under a mile. We will be moving to Liverpool in the future. And for me the most amazing place that I cant explain how good and emotional was ANFIELD omg 😍 what can I say im speechless. The tour and museum were soooo good and the people there were such gracious, funny, friendly humans 😄 thank you xxx

The Maritime Museum offers a comprehensive look at maritime history across four floors. Visitors can explore Titanic displays, watch evocative films, and engage with hands-on exhibits. The museum provides an immersive experience that delves into the world of seafaring, making it a must-visit attraction for history enthusiasts and those interested in maritime culture.
The Maritime Museum in Liverpool is an absolute gem and a must-visit for history lovers. I’ve been a couple of times, and each visit has been as enjoyable as the last. The museum beautifully showcases Liverpool’s rich maritime heritage, and the exhibits are both educational and deeply engaging. The standout for me has always been the Titanic area. It’s incredibly moving and thoughtfully presented, offering a powerful glimpse into the ship’s history, its connection to Liverpool, and the human stories behind the tragedy. The artifacts and interactive displays really bring the history to life. The museum’s layout is easy to navigate, and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Plus, admission is free, making it accessible for everyone. Whether it’s your first time or a repeat visit, the Maritime Museum offers something special every time. Highly recommend!

I popped into the Maritime Museum in Liverpool, and honestly, it’s a gem! Tucked away in the cool Albert Dock, it’s got this vibe that pulls you right into the city’s seafaring soul. You’ve got everything from old ship models to stories about the Titanic that hit you in the feels, plus a really moving section on the slave trade that doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. It’s all super interactive, so you’re not just staring at dusty relics. Best part? It’s free (though I tossed in a donation). Perfect for a quick visit, maybe an hour or two, and you can swing by the Tate Liverpool after. Loved it—total must-see if you’re into history or just curious!

My Visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool My visit to the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool was both educational and fascinating. Located at the historic Albert Dock, the museum beautifully showcases the city’s rich maritime heritage and its vital role in global trade and migration. The museum, part of National Museums Liverpool, also includes the UK Border Force Customs & Excise exhibits, which offer an eye-opening look into smuggling, trade, and law enforcement at sea. The displays are well-organized and interactive, covering everything from the Titanic and Lusitania stories to Liverpool’s role in the slave trade and world wars. The Customs Gallery was especially interesting, featuring real confiscated items and explaining how officers track illegal goods. Visitor Tips: Entry is free, making it a must-visit for history lovers and families. Plan at least 1–2 hours to explore the exhibits, and visit the shop and café overlooking the dock for a relaxing break. The museum is also wheelchair accessible. How to Reach: The museum is located at Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AQ, a short walk from Liverpool James Street Station and well-connected by local buses. There’s nearby parking at the Albert Dock car park. A visit to the Maritime Museum offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and real-life stories — a wonderful way to understand Liverpool’s deep connection with the sea and the world.

Great museum with great guides. Great place to bring family, pupils, students to learn about British history, the trans Atlantic slave and how much Britain had to do with it, among many other things. Highly recommend! For anyone bringing children, please brief them on being respectful for there's a lot of sensitive history displayed.

Incredible place with so much history. Suitable for all ages and also has interactive features throughout. Free to enter but a £5 donation is appreciated. Well worth £5. But it's not mandatory to pay. So a low income family could visit for free.

I personally feel this Maritime museum in Liverpool is better than the one in London. Really enjoyed it. There are 3 floors showing different themes to make me understand so much about the maritime’s world. Also there are a lot of parts to make kids interested. Will definitely bring kids to come again. 2-hour trip with kids is an ideal timing to enjoy I suggest. Definitely A Great Museum👍

This place is somewhat of a local legend. I’ve been meaning to come here for a while, but I’m quite lazy and I haven’t stayed down near the Albert Dock recently, so it’s had to wait until that came around again.. Anyhow, that time has now come and so I took the opportunity to visit on a grey and windswept summers day, as squalls whipped across the dock and tourists ran for cover. The restaurant itself is in one of the dockside Pavillions - if you’ve been here, you’ll know the score. Beautiful brick buildings that were rescued from dereliction in the mid-1980s; former warehouse buildings, they have brick vaults, low ceilings and loads of character. Some of the refurb is a bit 80s’tastic, as you’d expect, but it has mainly stood the test of time well. Gusto itself is in one of the first pavilions that you come to as you come in the main gate opposite the Hilton, next to the Dockmaster’s office. The entrance is discrete, as they all are here, with corner signage and an inset door. Inside, the restaurant is dark, although there is a wall of glass dockside, with views of the water and the boats. Seated straight away on what appeared to be quite a busy night, the service was good and drinks etc were offered quickly. They had Noam, which is quite a fancy beer that I’ve only had previously in Gaucho - it’s a German-style beer that comes in quite a fancy bottle. Love a fancy bottle. I wasn’t actually very hungry, so I was focussed on smaller meals that packed a punch in terms of flavour, rather than a pizza or something like that (their pizzas are good though - had one in Edinburgh). To start, I chose the arancini - this was an excellent portion, three little arancini with mozzarella and saffron aioli. Big flavours and very rich. Hit. For a main, they had a three-meat lasagna, which sounded good - I actually saw someone else having this, so knew the portion was reasonable. A bit weird it didn’t say what the three meats were - I assume pork, chicken and beef? - but overall the flavour was good. The waiter seemed to think I would need sides, but it really didn’t need sides - I guess I could have had garlic bread, but it didn’t need it. Some people might order chips with it, but that would be greedy. No pudding on this occasion, as I was full, but they do a very nice tiramisu - as I recall from Edinburgh, they serve this from a big bowl at the table. I mean, that’s a degree of theatre I don’t necessarily need in my life, but it does presumably demonstrate that the tiramisu is freshly made in house. That’s nice. Overall I would definitely eat here again - this is a nice restaurant, the food was pretty good value and the service was efficient and friendly - if you like cocktails etc, then there seemed to be a lot of that going on as well behind me, with much rattling of the cocktail shaker. I think next time I’ll have the garlic mushrooms to start and the salsicca pizza for a main - I will even splash out the 45p to make it a diavola with the addition of fresh chilli. Well done, two paws up. Recommended.

Just had a beautiful meal here. Staff amazing and so was the food. We enjoyed every mouthful, didn't want it to end! The only thing I would change is a few more sun dried tomatoes and bread on the sharing board, but it was all thoroughly enjoyed. Sorry I didnt take a photo of our starter, it was absolutely beautiful. THANK YOU

We visited this evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our kids. The staff were really friendly (especially Giuliana, who couldn’t do enough for us!), especially with our daughters, the food was delicious ( the make your own pizza on the kids menu is brilliant!) and the place itself was lovely. It was our first visit but we’ll definitely be back! The special dessert we were brought for our anniversary made it all even more special!

We came in off the chance late on a Saturday. The restaurant was so busy we thought we would be turned away. A little 5 minute wait in the bar and was shown to our table.

We had an exceptional lunch at Gusto Italian Liverpool. The food and drinks were top-notch, with delicious flavours and generous portions that really made the meal special. However, the service was just okay. Initially, we sat outside by the dock, which was lovely but very windy. Unfortunately, when we had to move inside because of the weather, we didn’t receive any assistance from staff, which was a bit disappointing. The final bill for our party of four came to £140 for a midday lunch, including a 12.5% service charge that was automatically added. While the food and drinks definitely made up for the average service, it’s worth being aware of the added charge. Overall, Gusto is a great spot if you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine in a lively, picturesque setting.

McDonald's is a popular fast food chain that is known for its burgers and fries. It can be difficult to find a space to sit inside the restaurant, and they do not serve any milkshakes. If you are looking for a quick meal, McDonald's is definitely worth checking out.
Yes, you have never seen such cleanliness, it is very impeccable and very clean. And the food, the burgers were brilliant, the skirts were good and the procedure was done well, and the staff was very serious at work. But what I liked most was that the manager was giving a speech to a girl and her smile and the way she spoke to her was very kind and very understanding. It is worth eating at a McDonald's.

McDonald’s Lord Street - Surprisingly this was the best experience I have had in a McDonald’s, it was busy with lots of kids however the food was hot, well put together; service was phenomenal as the guy who delivered our food was polite and charming. He made sure when he delivered the food that everything was there and when we finished he even put our tray way and cleaned the table. He was all over, helping people when I seen him. I ordered a box of 20 nuggets, chips and a coke. My partner ordered a grill Bic Mac meal and a mayo chicken. My nuggets were fresh from the VAT and my chips were really hot and well salted. My partners grill order was correct and the Big Mac was well put together which is rare for a busy shop as normally they just throw the burgers together. Only downside was that our boxes the chips came in were greasy. This can happen when if some of the boxes fall into the chips when filling it up but it wasn’t a huge problem as we tip the box into another box anyway. The place was great too, good location in the city centre and couldn’t recommend any more, best McDonald’s I’ve been to.

Worst McDonalds ever, went there at 3.30am waited for what I thought was going to be fresh hot food, 10 mins later received my food Luke warm fries looked like they had been cooked twice, stake house stack was dry along with cold, the double cheese burger was that cold the cheese did not even melt, did not get any sauce even though it comes with garlic bread cheese dippers, what a joke, just beyond me how it's possible to receive cold food when its cooked to order that time of night, is it the staff are is it equipment failure, maybe a oil change would also help with this situation, worst McDonalds I have had in a while that's for sure,

I buy from this restaurant every now and then. It’s a good, spacious place with friendly staff. Once, I had an issue late at night with my order, but the staff quickly helped me and resolved it. I tried both the vegetarian and beef burgers; they taste almost the same, so those who don’t eat meat will still get the same experience. Prices are reasonable. The only downside is that the burger feels a bit small. I recommend it.

The McDonald’s on Lord Street, Liverpool, is massive—spanning two floors with over 200+ seats and a bright, modern decor thanks to a fresh refurbishment. I love stopping here after shopping sprees; it’s open 24 hours, so I once ended up sharing fries at 2am with friends while watching the buzzing city nightlife. Quick service, table orders, and plenty of seating (even with a view upstairs) make it super convenient. Wheelchair access, free WiFi, and all your McDonald’s classics are available. Breakfast is served till 11am, and it’s an easy walk from Central train station.

Sights & Landmarks
Arenas & Stadiums
Anfield is a renowned football stadium and the home of Liverpool FC, one of England's most successful football clubs. Since its establishment in 1892, Anfield has been witness to numerous historic moments in the club's history. The stadium, with over 50,000 seats, is easily accessible and offers a variety of food kiosks for visitors. It also houses the Liverpool FC museum, showcasing monuments dedicated to the team and the sport.
World class facilities all round. Stadium tours and matchday experiences are second to none. Anfield is one of the greatest football grounds in the world. The atmosphere on European match nights under the floodlights is unparallelled and notoriously goosebump inducing. Due to recent successes the role of honours/wall of champions is increasingly spectacular and Liverpool remains firmly as the most successful club in all of Britain

This stadium is an iconic football ground that has so much tied to it that anyone visiting will be swept off his feet, even someone who does not support Liverpool, like myself. I was swept up with the singing, the camaraderie, the enthusiasm and the general atmosphere- I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (Liverpool lost to Man Utd on the day)

We were in London on 19 October 2025, and Liverpool was playing Manchester United at Anfield. We were lucky enough to get two tickets for the match. We joined the queue to enter the stadium at around 4.15 p.m. and got to our seats within 10 minutes—just in time for the players’ walkout. When You’ll Never Walk Alone played, the atmosphere was truly electric—something I will never forget. The passion, the unity, and the roar of the crowd were simply spine-tingling. When the match kicked off, Manchester United scored within two minutes, and the home crowd fell silent. Still, we never stopped cheering for the team, and by the 78th minute, when Cody Gakpo found the net, the entire stadium erupted in joy. What happened after that… I will leave unsaid, as my memory happily ends there. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one to tick off my bucket list. I urge every football fan to watch a match at Anfield at least once. Win or lose, you will never regret it.

Watching a match at Anfield was truly a dream come true! I had the chance to attend the Carabao Cup match between Tottenham and Liverpool, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. The stadium was filled with loyal, genuine fans whose energy made the experience unforgettable. One of the highlights was the unique ritual of fans touching the flags as they passed overhead—a tradition that really shows the passion and unity of Liverpool supporters. The match itself was thrilling, and Liverpool’s victory made the evening even more special. The stadium was well-guarded, and the security staff were friendly and helpful, guiding us smoothly through the entrances. Overall, it was a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. For any football lover—and especially Liverpool fans—Anfield is a must-visit!

The World Museum in Liverpool offers five floors of engaging exhibits on natural history, science, and world cultures. Visitors can also enjoy the planetarium and explore Liverpool's maritime heritage at the nearby Merseyside Maritime Museum. The World Museum features interactive displays on topics such as ancient Egypt, live animals, and changing exhibitions like the Terracotta Warriors from China. With a top-floor restaurant and convenient location near public transportation, it's an ideal destination for a day out.

The Liverpool World Museum is a must visit cultural landmark in the city. Best of all, it’s free to enter and perfect for both adults and kids. The museum has so much to see, from the Planetarium, Dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt, and Endangered Plants to the Bug House and Aquarium. Each floor offers different themed exhibits, so there’s something for everyone. Plan to spend around 2–3 hours here. Afterwards, you can easily walk to St George’s Hall and Liverpool Central Library, both right next door. A great way to spend a day in Liverpool!

I absolutely loved this museum. Five floors of amazing facts, history, and knowledge, yet my mum and I only made it to the third floor. We spent four whole hours just wandering through those first three levels, soaking everything in. The aquarium was a delight. I was amazed to learn that it is the second-oldest aquarium in the world, and from what I could observe (with my admittedly limited knowledge), the fish and other marine animals seemed well cared for which is a big plus in my book. And then came the permanent Egyptian exhibit. A dream come true. I’ve always been deeply fascinated by ancient Egypt, and this museum’s collection is truly outstanding. Dare I say it even surpasses the British Museum’s Egyptian section? I could be wrong — it has been a while since my last visit there — but that was my honest impression. And the mummy room? I could have spent hours in that one space alone. I’ll definitely be back. There are still two more floors waiting for me, and I can’t wait to uncover the rest.

A lovely experience and completely free (unless you want tickets for a talk).

My family and I visited the World Museum for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Intuitive layout of different areas of interest; the aquarium was wonderful and sympathetically created, and the cafe was spacious and inexpensive. Unlike other similar museums we've visited, we are happy that The World Museum is NOT an adventure playground, often appealing only to very young children. This museum has great interest for ALL ages, and we hope it remains this way. We can't wait to visit again soon.

Lovely museum, the sections are small so little ones should not get to bored but if they are wanting more then maybe disappointing to them. Great for free day out. Cafe was really reasonable and the seating area was stunning. Cute little gift stop. Also lockers. Can rent locker for the day £2 but have to pay £5 on the day and then £3 gets refunded to you. Great if your hotel won’t let you check in. Will take backpacks and slim suitcase as have different sizes

Museums
The Walker Art Gallery is a Victorian museum that showcases significant art pieces from the 12th century onwards, featuring works by renowned artists such as Degas and Hockney. It is one of the must-visit attractions in Liverpool, offering a cultural experience for art enthusiasts. After exploring the gallery, visitors can immerse themselves in local culture, dine at excellent restaurants, and find budget-friendly accommodations nearby.
As an art and architecture enthusiast, the Walker Art Gallery quickly became one of my favourite spots in Liverpool. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a sense of grandeur—elegant halls, beautifully lit galleries, and a layout that allows each piece to breathe while still flowing seamlessly between periods and styles. The permanent collection is impressive, ranging from classical works to Victorian masterpieces and striking contemporary pieces. It's a joy to wander through the different rooms, each revealing new textures, colours, and stories. I always find myself lingering a little longer than expected, drawn in by both familiar favourites and hidden gems. What I also truly appreciate are the occasional exhibitions. They bring a fresh energy to the space and offer new perspectives, often highlighting themes or artists that complement the main collection beautifully. These temporary displays feel thoughtfully curated and make each return visit feel like a new experience. The building itself is just as inspiring as the art it holds—a stunning example of classical architecture that elevates the entire experience. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious, the Walker Art Gallery is a must-visit. It’s a place where creativity, history, and beauty come together effortlessly.

amazing colllection of arts, sculptures and crafts! absolutely loved the current exhibit they have for contemporary art. the only problem i had during my experience was the labeling of the pieces --- the info about the art was not placed directly in the same section and it was inconvenient to look around for them somewhere else. it disturbed the momentum of going through the rooms that were arranged in chronological order. otherwise, a must visit gallery!

A stunningly beautiful and intimate performance by Liz and her team tonight in St Georges Hall Liverpool. These 4 are masters of their art and deliver a special concert that even brings a little tear its simply breathtaking. Add to the music that Liz has a wonderful sense of humour and this Candlelight event is well worth the money. However, why oh why did the 2 older people in the side seats have to kick off during the 2nd to last song and spoil everyone's ending. These 2 ( i won't share the video of them being evicted from the premises by security) spoilt the one video I took as the rowdy argument can be heard in the clip. If you cant follow rules and you cant behave then stay at home and watch Bargain Hunt you numpties!... Aside from that tonight was special, full of talent and an offering of what happens when a string quartet adds power, expression, melody and glamour to pop music. Just incredible

The Grand Jury Room, where our ceremony took place, was absolutely breathtaking. The historic details, high ceilings, and elegant atmosphere gave the whole event a sense of grandeur and romance that we’ll never forget. It made for the most beautiful backdrop for our vows and our photos. Everything was so well-organized, and we felt completely at ease throughout the day. We’re so grateful to the team at St George’s Hall for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable. Thank you for making our dream day a reality!

The musicians are so talented, they really brought the music to life. It sounded so powerful. The atmosphere also helped with this. Overall, it was a beautiful concert and I really recommend going.

This place is one of the jewels of Liverpool, it houses the old Crown courts where many criminals have been convicted and sentenced, some to death, it also has an amazing Minton floor in the main hall, which is only uncovered on special occasions, it houses a cafe and the registerey office, where marriages can be held in what was the jury room for the crown court, there is also a small theatre at the William Brown street end. It's worth going on the history tours of the building that they hold frequently, it holds a lot of Liverpool history within its walls

St George’s Hall is a stunning architectural masterpiece in the heart of Liverpool. The grand neoclassical design is awe-inspiring, both inside and out. A cultural gem, hosting everything from concerts to exhibitions in a magnificent setting. Its rich history and impressive acoustics make it a must-see for architecture and music lovers. Perfectly located for exploring the city, offering a regal atmosphere and unforgettable experience.

Cathedral

Sacred & Religious Sites
Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is a circular Roman Catholic place of worship featuring contemporary art. It was built in the 1960s after previous attempts to construct a cathedral fell through. The stunning modern gothic revival architecture makes it a must-see attraction in Liverpool, especially for those interested in religious and historical landmarks. The cathedral's unique design and artistic elements make it an essential stop for visitors looking to experience the local culture and architectural heritage of the city.
SIMPLY WOW - I'm not a person on religion but this Cathedral was something else. It's grandeur, its presence truly invites you in just to look. A warm welcome to look around given to ALL - free if charge - ( you can make a donation if you choose to). It's ASTOUNDING - the architecture, the lighting, the colours, the statues - ACTUALLY EVERYTHING. Take time to look at each alcove dedicated to different things - THEN step back far enough away to take in also the opening above it - which seems to give completion! When I noticed that myself it was quite beautiful. The 14 stages of Christ ( I think they are called) some a little 'gruesome' (for me) but absolutely spectacular art. The organ pipes ( ask how many - wow) then see if you can spot where the organ is!! This circular building is profoundly beautiful and for those who follow this faith - I just can't imagine how it must make you feel. The crypts - another incredible space and well worth the £5 charge to visit. There IS a sense of peace, of quiet within oneself - surrounded by all of this colour, shade, light and utter brilliance. Don't miss this from your visit. Don't be put off by a faith aspect - this incredible building and the people servicing it invite EVERYONE.

Striking and unique architecture The modern design (Sir Frederick Gibberd, 1960s) circular layout, stained-glass lantern tower, and the way light plays inside gets many compliments.  Atmosphere & peace Visitors often talk about a sense of calm, of spiritual serenity. Accessibility :good amenities, accessible toilets, café, lift access, clean spaces, helpful and friendly staff.  Free entry Entry to the main cathedral is free (though donations encouraged), which makes visiting feel more open to all. Some parts (e.g. the crypt) may require a fee.  Views & photo opportunities The location, the steps, the view from the tower (when open) are often praised.

Beautiful building must see if in liverpool free entarnce. Beautiful light inside at different times. Stained glass windows. Lots of separate sections for appreciation. So many vivid colours and things to see. Easy worth a 20 30 min walk around.. really gorgeous place. Parking on street all around. Cafes close. Could probably do with a little.gift shop. some thoughtful pieces of art and Contemplation. Staff really helpful. Great stop and will continue to return. The Catholic cathedral

Well worth a visit to see this modernist masterpiece, affectionately nicknamed "Paddy's Wigwam". The stained glass is beautiful and the interior space is very impressive. The crypt of Edwin Lutyens's design can also be visited, which provides an interesting contrast.

Amazing modern space with a strong sense of the sacred. Arrived late in the day so just people gathering for the evening Mass. Lighting and colours were very striking.

I really liked this modern Cathedral. It is an imposing but interesting building. The interior is very welcoming and I like the art displayed inside (see photos). The circular disposition is so unusual for a cathedral but it made me wonder what it must be like, when on some particularly auspicious Sunday the building is full to the roof and the whole church is singing!

Samia H — Google review
Really unhappy with the service I received from the Bold Street Subway this evening (20th Feb 23). I don't normally leave bad reviews, as I understand mistakes happen and people have bad days, but I went in to order 2 footlong subs, and the customer service of the man who was serving me was terrible. Initially, they didn't have the bread I was after, which is fine, they had a different one that I was happy with. Then he started making the wrong sandwich, I let him know and he apologised but then started scraping off the wrong items which started to tear the bread apart. I wouldn't have minded if he had picked them off, but he didn't seem to care about the sandwich falling apart which was annoying. He then put them in to toast and I paid for my order. When he took them out of the oven, he started to package them up in panini boxes, I asked him if I could get salad on them before he packed them up and he said that they didn't come with Salad. I replied that I wanted to get salad anyway, as most of it is optional, he said that he had already closed the subs. I then asked him if I'm not allowed to get salad on then and he said yes, I wasn't very happy because the salad is optional and doesn't cost more, so I should have been able to get salad on the subs. He then forced the subs into the panini boxes which left them mangled when I managed to get them out of the box, which took some time because they were trying to fall apart. The lady who was working was very lovely, but she didn't seem to want to get involved in the conversation when I was asking him for salad. I understand that it's not a big deal to not get salad on a sandwich, but I'm unhappy with the way I was spoken to and the complete dismissal of my request for something that should have been available.

I am a bit diappointed with the staff. well, service of staff was alright but they put less chicken on break and then when we request to add more chicken because quantity of chicken look so lesser than other usual subways, so when we add more chicken on it we are unaware about that they gonna charge us more and they didnt mention that they will charge more for extra chicken. They should tell us before adding more chicken.

Shop closes at 11pm or 11 30pm but somehow ended up being closed at 10pm, we asked the guy who kept ignoring us and another thing as a halal business they do not have a certificate showing that they are halal so I would think twice about eating from bold street subway Absolute joke and shit customer service

Absolutely amazing outlet village. Being honest, this is the best Mcarther Glen outlet in the whole of the UK, in my opinion. I couldn't believe the number of shops and restaurants. The whole place is clean and very welcoming. Disabled access is perfect, too, with no issues at all. Parking was good with lots of free parking provided. A definate day out with some amazing bargains, too.

Cheshire Oaks is definitely worth the trip if you're looking for genuine designer deals! We had a fantastic time browsing the enormous selection of high-end brands. The outdoor village layout is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, making for a really pleasant shopping experience. It's more than just shopping—there are plenty of great food and coffee spots too!

This is a very popular shopping area and best to get here early for parking. Despite it having plenty of car parking spaces, we saw drivers struggling to find a space around lunchtime. There are some good discounts to be found in some shops but if you want the brand names this is a place to find them. If you are hungry on your visit, you will find plenty of choices but consult the online directory as they spread around if you are looking for something specific.

One of the best spots in the North West for big-brand shopping, Cheshire Oaks offers a great family day out. With a wide range of stores, there’s something for everyone, and the mix of shopping and dining makes it an enjoyable experience.

First visit on 11.4.25. We chose a great day, weather wise. The park was lovely and a nice walk. Lots of blossom trees. The toilets in the mansion/ The Reader were spotless. The Reader Bookshop was nice too - bought some nice cards and earrings. The Japanese Garden was smaller than I imagined, but it was nice. It wasn't very tranquil at that time though, as it was half term and there were a bunch of teenagers with bikes in there. They were ok and polite though. We had a sit and eat in nice walled garden with benches where there were squirrels, so I was gutted I didn't take some nuts or seeds or something. I know for next time though.

So it was my first time at Prenton Park home of Tranmere Rovers as my beloved team Oldham Athletic were drawn away to Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup First round in the 2024/25 season. So i took my Father-In-Law to the match who is 85 years old and is a proud Scouser and is a Liverpool fan, We arrived at the stadium and straight away you could here our Oldham fans. Really charming old throw back stadium us away fans were in the away end called the cow shed behind the goal opposite the Kop end. The pitch was in fantastic condition and the atmosphere was amazing and we took over 2,200+ fans and we sang from the first minute to 10 minutes after the match had ended. Friendly and polite staff and stewards, Loyal Tranmere supporters, Great old stadium, Parking is an absolute nightmare, The Mersey Clipper is literally in the shadow of the stadium. Me and my Wife post alot of reviews on Google of our honest opinions, feedback and our experiences everything from value, Customer service, Value for money, Cleanliness, restaurants, bars, food, drinks, travel, taxis, Hotels, Airbnbs, flights, beaches, beauty treatments, beach clubs, Football stadiums etc locally, nationally and internationally etc and we have over 29,000,000+ views.

Traditional four sided ground which is always, IMO, a feel of a proper football ground. Easy enough to find but tricky to find nearby parking so at least a 10 min walk for street parking. A couple of pubs nearby. Home fans deathly quiet, didn’t hear much from them. Stewards friendly. First time we’ve played there on a Saturday for many years so an opportunity to revisit a ground I haven’t been to since the 80s.

Access to the stadium was quite straightforward, with plenty of parking and free parking close to the ground. The stadium on approach looked quite ragged from the Mendip Road side, but enjoyed looking at the huge badges on the side of the stands. When inside the ground, it was great to see the large stand at the goal end almost empty with Tranmere Rovers in big letters imprinted into the seat, it really looks completely different inside. The facilities were bog standard, and the stewards were helpful. There’s a raffle that they draw at half time too. The food and drink options weren’t great. There was not much to choose from, although the prices were really good for a sports ground. The police atmosphere was significantly increased, as Northampton Town were on the brink of promotion should they have sealed the win against Tranmere. So a bit of rowdiness was anticipated. The atmosphere from the home side was a bit flat first half, but it picked up a little in the second half which left an overall brilliant atmosphere in the stadium.

The wide range of exhibits inside the gallery reflect the 'typical' breadth of interests of Lord Lever's family.

We were there on Tuesday and no problem with parking. I went to see Jim Moir's paintings of birds which are fabulous, especially the one of the large ravens head showing the reflection of the Tower of London. The rest of the exhibits in the gallery were amazing from the old masters, furniture and pottery. Stopped in the cafe for coffee and cake half way round the place. It was a good afternoon out, I recommend it, well worth a visit. No tickets needed, they just ask for a £5 donation and worth every penny.

Update - the last few times I have ordered from Captain Tony’s the food has been exceptional. I appreciate you taking my feedback onboard. Thank you. I have increased my star rating to take this into account. I have gone to Captain Tony’s, regularly for years. Their pizza is my favourite by far. Massive problem is their fries. They are very inconsistent in quality. Sometimes they are exceptional, but other times they are awful. I ask now for them to make them crispy, but the last 3 times I’ve ordered them, I’ve had to throw them in the bin. They were disgusting. Sloppy and undercooked. Does your chips chef not try their food before giving it to us paying customers? I hate to do awful reviews, especially when I love their pizza, but the fries are just as important and at over £3 a portion, I’m fed up, even asking hasn’t improved their quality. How can you get it so wrong??

We ordered drinks at the bar and then went ahead with our food order. The service was a little on the slow side overall, but the team were friendly and welcoming which made up for it. After a short wait the food arrived and I went for the fish and chips which were tasty and enjoyable. Overall it’s a nice pub serving good pub food and I’d happily pop back again.

Having visited Port Sunlight for WI event, we tried two other pubs but they weren't serving food. What a find this turned out to be, though! Although they didn't have our first choice of food, the meals we went on to choose were delicious. Great, quick service despite being a Saturday busy lunchtime and the Landlord was most hospitable and spent time to inform us of the area and why we should revist. Thank you from the three WI ladies 👍

I’m not a big pub person really as I don’t drink At all and generally find the food to be unexciting. But I have to say this was very pleasant experience. There was a group of eight of us (we all do volunteer work somewhere together) . The food was very good, excellent choice, decent quality and very affordable. They had Fentimans drinks, which is always good for me, although I would’ve liked the Victorian lemonade variety :-). We were a group and had great support from a key staff member called Sue, who was really excellent. And the younger lads at the bar were also very pleasant. Overall My wife and I would happily return here.

We were served by the lovely Sue who was amazing. We had relatives visiting from the U.S and were a table of 8 but she could not have done more for us. She made sure everyone was kept happy and she made us feel at ease and made us laugh….a lot! The food was fantastic and the great service made it a really pleasant evening. Thank you team!

Sights & Landmarks
Church
Place of worship
Liverpool Cathedral, also known as the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral, is a grand 20th-century place of worship that boasts the world's highest Gothic arches and a towering viewing tower. Despite its ancient appearance, it was actually completed in 1978 after 74 years of construction. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, this masterpiece of Gothic Revival is Britain's largest cathedral and features contemporary visual art installations that add to its unique atmosphere.
Plentiful parking right outside, easy accessibility for all and help on hand if needed. Clean toilets and lovely environment throughout. The staff and volunteers are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely morning, lunch and a couple of drinks too in the lovely cafe. So many beautiful areas to explore and lots of information on hand. Cannot recommend this place enough for a bit of culture in your life. We will defo be back.

Absolutely stunning! Liverpool Cathedral may not be ancient, but it’s one of the largest in the UK and completely free to visit. It is an unmissable and truly iconic landmark when visiting Liverpool. The towering exterior is breathtaking, and once you step inside, the soaring ceilings and long central nave create an incredible sense of space and grandeur. When sunlight shines through the beautiful stained glass windows, the whole place feels sacred and peaceful. A perfect spot to pause, reflect, and admire truly magnificent architecture, well worth spending some time to explore.

The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool is absolutely beautiful. It has amazing stained glass windows, a very old organ that is up on the wall and the commands are on the opposite wall. The cathedral is the biggest that we have seen until now in the UK. You can light a candle for the departed and the people that are still here. The most important thing for us is that we could visit it together with our dog. She is part of the family and we are happy that she was welcomed. During our time there we had a moment in which one off the priests said a prayer and she was very well behaved and got some pets and praises from some of the staff.
Andreea B — Google review
Truly a breathtaking landmark of Gothic Revival architecture! Liverpool Cathedral is the largest cathedral in Britain and it embodies the city's unbreakable spirit and enduring faith. The soaring tower and stunning stained glass were sights to behold, as they added to the majestic atmosphere of the cathedral. A must-visit for worship, art + architecture or panoramic views from the tower.
Josephine W — Google review
Free to enter, online guides available Either use their app, or Bloomberg Connects, or a family tour. But there are useful signs dotted around. Or book a guided walking tour. £8 gets you up to the top of the tower. Two lifts and 108 steps. All very safe, bit not for wheelchairs. This is an enormous building made of brick, stone, steel and concrete. Unadorned in it's beautiful state. It can make you feel humble or elated, but it is awe inspiring. Pleasant staff, and working ministers. Nice cafe, several toilets. Don't forget the necropolis outside, which is housed in the old quarry. Over 60,000 people buried there after the stone was excavated to build the city. There is parking onsite or cheaper nearby.

Stunning building and interior. Beautiful craftsmanship. Lots of different chapels and sections. Must visit if within liverpool. Free entry. Cafe..gift shop..staff really friendly. Daily services. Tour services. Toilets. Close parking. Can do both cathedrals as very close. Tour is really good..cafe is good. Religious services are good..worth a visit recommended..
Paul — Google review
Huge space with many details to spot. Provision of parking and lifts made the cathedral very accessible. Quite a few visitors in the building. Excellent and reasonable cafe plus well stocked gift shop. Unfortunately a band setting up for an evening concert took away any sense of prayerfulness and rather assaulted the eardrums as the noise reached every corner of the building!
Fr N — Google review
Beautiful Cathedral with wonderfull staff and a fabulous cafe too. Easy walk from the station and breathtaking when it comes into view. Worth paying the small fee to go up the tower, if the weather is clear, as the views are incredible. Had a grand chat with Mike, who was helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Easy 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Art gallery
Museums
Bar
Cafe
FACT Liverpool, located in the Ropewalks quarter of Liverpool, has been a cultural hub since 2003. It features a 4-screen cinema showcasing mainstream and art house films, along with three media art galleries and an airy bar. The venue is known for its futuristic-looking space spread across three floors, including galleries, cinema screens, a cafe and a bar. FACT is celebrated for hosting pioneering work from renowned artists and filmmakers.
Wonderful atmosphere and exhibitions on display in here. My friends ended up having a wonderful and wide-ranging conversation with a lady from the Fact team in the Amartey Golding's solo exhibition on Sunday afternoon about not only the piece and it’s power but also opened our eyes to more exhibitions going on in the city for us to check out. This made the visit so worth while and I can’t recommend it enough to people in the Liverpool area.
Jordan M — Google review
FACT is one of Liverpool’s most exciting spaces for contemporary art, and each visit leaves me inspired and curious. What I love most is how it champions bold, forward-thinking artists and immersive experiences that go far beyond traditional gallery formats. During my recent visit, I was particularly struck by the work of RIP Germain and Sara Sadik’s XENON PALACE CHAMPIONSHIP—an interactive installation and film that was as thought-provoking as it was visually captivating. Sadik’s exploration of identity, masculinity, and digital worlds created a space that felt both intimate and otherworldly. The way visitors are invited to engage with the piece adds a whole new layer to the experience—it’s not just something you view; it’s something you feel and participate in. FACT continues to set itself apart by not only showcasing powerful contemporary voices but by creating environments where art becomes a full sensory experience. Whether it’s through sound, motion, or interaction, every exhibition challenges the viewer in the best possible way. This space proves that art can be immersive, playful, and deeply moving all at once. FACT is a must-visit for anyone who loves art that pushes boundaries and speaks to the present moment.

Nice and easy to get to from Central Station, good friendly staff. Automatic doors to get in, good signage about floors and facilities, a decent sized lift and Screen 1 is brilliant. I did get a bit confused because I couldn't see any clear seat or space numbers on the chairs or walls, so I just hoped I was in the right space. My one negative is that the disabled toilet is already on the small side but they have a massive baby changing table in the transfer space and a bin by the door, there is no turning circle, and the hand drying machine is awkward to use. And because there's no turning circle it's hard and painful to close the door and lock the door after myself. I had to do so by twisting my body around. I would have had to have backed up out of the bathroom to use the hand dryer less painfully. It's such an amazing building and institution, but as always bare minimum with the wheelchair accessible toilet. However given their more well known counterparts are refurbing to hell and back with prices soaring and access lessening, I will still be happy to visit again.

I went to see the new horror movie “Weapons” which was playing in screen 2. Unfortunately, the sound in this room was far too quiet. So much so that several people went out to speak to the manager. You could barely hear any of the dialogue being spoken. I unfortunately couldn’t continue to watch the movie. Taking sound out of a horror movie detracts from the whole reason for watching. I was told that this is unfortunately how the digital reel was mixed for this cinema and there was an error. However when I went straight over to another cinema, I was told that this likely wasn’t true as all local cinemas receive the same copy of each film and it was likely the speaker which may have blown. Either way, if the projectionists or managers know that there’s an error with the screen, they shouldn’t be playing said picture. I was grateful to receive a refund after deciding to go and see the movie in a nearby cinema. But again if others were charged full price to see a movie that had sound issues I feel that’s a bit of an unethical move by the company.

Let's talk about the pizza slice. I ordered a Vegetarian Hot slice. The cheese felt cheap and like chewing gum. The crust was extra floppy and lacked personality. ... The presentation, price, and the presence of oils on the table (peperoncino, aglio) - a nice touch.

Department store
TK Maxx is a vibrant retail chain that offers an impressive selection of stylish brand-name apparel, shoes, accessories, and homeware at unbeatable prices. The Liverpool location on Church Street is particularly lively, showcasing everything from high-end designer pieces to budget-friendly fashion finds. While the store layout facilitates easy browsing through its diverse sections, some shoppers have noted that it can get quite chaotic during peak times.
Very big store with 3 levels! I found something for everyone in the family at a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and it wasn't long to be served. Great place A*

After spending couple of thousand of pounds within this store I am disappointed that recently this company became a nuisance. Ordered couple of small bits plus a nice handbag (£200+) for my Ms. Everything came in apart from the handbag. After a polite phone call I was told they cant help me as the warehouse staff done everything they should and I have received the product. Well it means the warehouse staff is a bunch of robbers - probably underpaid. My Ms devastated, the product is gone and I had to go through credit card issuer to get my money back. This puts me in an awkward position due to TKMaxx incopetency.

You will never run out of choices in this retail store in Liverpool. They sell everything from women's apparels, bath and body, fragrance, beauty, shoes, bags as well men's (shoes, polo, etc) and kid's garments (even toys). Many other options are still available, even electronic gadgets (headset, earbuds, wireless headsets, adaptor, power bank, phone cases, etc), homeware and jewellery (wristwatch, earrings, necklace). Pretty much an all-on-one retail store.

The Western Approaches Museum in Liverpool offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to explore the former secret underground headquarters of the British Navy during World War II. The museum provides insight into the Battle of the Atlantic and Liverpool's significant role in this historic conflict. With original rooms such as the plotting room and operations room, interactive exhibits, and simulations of U-boat attacks, it's a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
This is a very interesting site to visit if you are interested in WWII history. It is sort of akin to the Churchill War Rooms in London, but for the Battle of the Atlantic. It is a self guided tour and while there are a bunch of little panels or displays to read in most room, you sometimes do have to go looking to figure out what that part of the bunker was used for or to learn about the people who worked there. The room on the sailors who were in the Arctic was the most easily understood section as it had more traditional museum style signage that told the story very clearly. The map room is very cool, and the rooms dedicated to the Wrens were also interesting.
Kate D — Google review
Strange experience, the exhibition was pretty good, however having ving visited other ww2 secret bunkers and Bletchley Park, I felt this site was overly pretentious about its role in turning the tide of war to the extent of diminishing other efforts. We were upsold tickets for a ferry tour. Which we could use as the last ferry sailing was 4 pm, after we had viewed the exhibition. We were also overcharged and the gentleman lounging behind the desk was quite abrasive which immediately soured the experience. If you are going in the afternoon abd want to do the ferry do that first, get the ferry tour out the way as its last sailing is 4 and the exhibition is open until 6.

I happened to be visiting friends in Liverpool and had a bit of time to kill while they were at work and popped in here, as a former history major. I was unaware of this spot before a random search, but was well worth the visit. Lots of good historical bits to take in, interesting info about Russian/British cooperation in the northern seas, plus the planning and execution of Normandy.

The Western Approaches and WREN museum was great. It contains tons of great exhibits and information in the exact bunker used during WWII. It was very intersting to understand the vital role this command played in ensuring the safe delivery of supplies to allied posts including traversing the Artic Sea to deliver planes and supplies to Russia. The addition of the WREN museum was a nice bonus and provided insight to the key roles women played in keeping the war effort going.

Pub
Nestled along the picturesque River Irwell, The River View Pub offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Recently revamped, this charming spot boasts large windows that flood the interior with natural light, providing stunning views across to sunny Liverpool. Whether you're in for a refreshing pint or a hearty roast dinner, you'll be greeted by friendly service and an inviting atmosphere. Families will appreciate the delicious food options—one young diner even felt compelled to express gratitude twice!
Nice clean family run business great Sunday lunch friendly atmosphere welcoming had a fantastic Sunday roast with all the trimmings even provide highchairs for infant's.

Called in for a pint today and it's a quite nice place to watch the world go by. It's very bright inside because of the very large windows and there is a great view across the river of sunny Liverpool. Instant service as it wasn't too full and a reasonable range of beers and ales. I'd imagine if the ferry was working it would probably be a lot busier.

Absolute disgrace, don't even bother walking in to this degenerate bar. Unwelcoming, rude staff, accused me of dealing drugs on my first time in? Probably just to get non-locals out. Would NOT recommend, disgusting attitude towards new customers. ENTER ON YOUR OWN RISK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Drinks also very expensive for what you're sitting in.

We called today for a drink. A pint of John Smith's and a diet coke. It was a pleasant atmosphere with music tv playing in the background. A super view over the water from the seat next to the window. The barmaid was friendly. It wasn't busy either.

A surprising find in Birkenhead and not far from first stop by bus or metro from Liverpool to Birkenhead. Drink prices are reasonable. We had Sunday roast here, and that was very delicious. Choice of beef, lamb or chicken. The dinner comes with toasties, carrot, mushy peas (sort of), cauliflower, broccoli and a Yorkshire pudding. Two sizes available, small or large.
