VISITLIVERPOOL.COM

WELCOME 

2018 MARKED TEN YEARS SINCE LIVERPOOL WAS NAMED EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF 

CULTURE AND IT HAS BEEN A BREATH-TAKING ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE CITY REGION. 

A year-long schedule of ground-breaking exhibitions, 

festivals and events has meant that Liverpool is now 

more popular than ever and is firmly cemented 

as a major European city break destination. 

The perfect base to explore the North West region, 

Liverpool is a dynamic and thrilling city with an 

unrivalled cultural offering. A packed itinerary of 

events will continue long after the anniversary year 

is over and with 2 UNESCO accolades to its name 

it’s no surprise that Liverpool was voted 3rd in the 

TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards, sitting only 

behind the capital cities of London and Edinburgh. 

Liverpool is home to more national museums than any 

other city outside of London and visitors can take in 

various blockbuster exhibitions. Double Fantasy: John and 

Yoko continues to tell the story of the couple in their own 

words at Museum of Liverpool until Spring 2019 whilst the 

Walker Art Gallery will host exhibitions from both Charles 

Rennie Mackintosh and Leonardo da Vinci in 2019. 

2019 will also see two of the city’s most iconic locations 

transformed, making them the ideal stop off for visitors. 

Royal Liver Building 360 will bring guided public tours to 

Liverpool’s most iconic landmark, The Royal Liver Building, 

for the very first time. Strawberry Fields, made famous 

by The Beatles song of the same name, is set to open its 

gates to the public with the creation of a brand new visitor 

centre alongside a training and work placement hub. 

Visitors to Liverpool can also take a trip outside of the 

city centre to one of the many galleries across the city 

region including Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight 

or The Atkinson in Southport. Thrill seekers can hope 

the weather works in their favour as they whizz around 

the Land Rover Experience and of course the world’s 

most famous steeplechase, the Randox Grand National, 

will return to Aintree Racecourse in April 2019. 

With so much to see, do and explore, Liverpool is 

the perfect destination for your city break. Make 

sure you keep an eye on visitliverpool.com for 

all the up to date information and events.

ARTS AND CULTURE 

LIVERPOOL IS KNOWN FOR BEING A CULTURAL DESTINATION, WITH MORE NATIONAL 

MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES THAN ANYWHERE ELSE OUTSIDE LONDON. WITH A 

THRIVING CONTEMPORARY ARTS SCENE AND TWO UNESCO DESIGNATIONS. 

WE’VE PICKED OUT JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OVER THIS SEASON. 

10 

VISITLIVERPOOL.COM

ART 

The Royal Albert Dock Liverpool welcomed a new major 

commission in late 2018, when Ugo Rondinone’s Liverpool 

Mountain became the acclaimed Swiss artist’s first public 

work in the UK. Inspired by naturally occurring Hoodoos 

(spires or pyramids of rock) and the art of meditative rock 

balancing, this 10-metre high sculpture consists of coloured 

rocks, stacked vertically which seem to defy gravity. 

Its arrival has only increased the area’s art credentials. 

Shadowing over the new sculpture is Tate Liverpool, one 

of the most critically and commercially successful galleries 

in the country. Highlights of its winter season include a 

reconstruction of Alex Katz’s studio with many of his major 

works in it, a solo exhibition of French artist Fernand Leger 

and a dazzling display of Op Art works. However, 

visitors can also immerse themselves in the 

gallery’s permanent collection, which 

is always evolving. 

A short walk along 

the waterfront is 

Open Eye Gallery, 

a specialist 

photography space 

which has a glowing 

reputation for its displays 

and exhibitions, and will have a 

lot of activity this season in the 

lead-up to the LOOK Photo Biennial. 

QUENTIN BLAKE AND JOHN YEOMAN 

AT LADY LEVER ART GALLERY 

TATE LIVERPOOL: OP ART 

Walker Art Gallery houses one of Europe’s finest 

collections of paintings, drawings, sculpture and 

decorative art and is always a must-visit. It has a particularly 

busy 2019, with a major exhibition on Charles Rennie 

Mackintosh from 15th March and a selection of Leonardo 

da Vinci’s greatest drawings from 1st February. 

The Bluecoat is the oldest building in the city centre, 

and is a true hub for arts. Its galleries are home to several 

linked exhibitions throughout the season, and its event 

space hosts a regular programme of performance art, 

music and drama. It has a long and strong history of 

artistic education and development, and there are still 

more than 30 studios dotted around the building, some 

of which are open to the public with prior booking or for 

classes and workshops in skills such as screenprinting or 

etching. Finally, make sure you have a look in the wonderful 

Bluecoat Display Centre, which showcases contemporary 

designers across jewellery, ceramics and ornaments 

and is a wonderful place for buying a special gift. 

FACT, situated on Wood Street, is the UK’s leading 

media arts centre. Its main exhibition for this season is 

Broken Symmetries, which brings together artists who 

aim to understand and question the physical world by 

navigating the shifting realities of modern science. 

The rest of the city region has some excellent galleries 

as well. Port Sunlight village is arguably a work of art in 

itself, and in its centre sits Lady Lever – a beautiful gallery 

packed with wonderful eighteenth and nineteenth century 

British art and which this season hosts an 

exhibition celebrating the magnificent 

partnership between Quentin Blake 

and illustrator John Yeoman.

Southport’s The Atkinson has delved into its archives 

to present The Art of Noise, a wonderful 

exhibition of paintings and sculpture 

documenting the links between visual art 

and music which runs until 16th March. 

HERITAGE 

Just like Stonehenge, Florence and the Taj 

Mahal – Liverpool also holds UNESCO World 

Heritage Status. 

Liverpool’s iconic waterfront is home to the Three Graces 

– the Cunard Building, the Port of Liverpool Building and 

of course the Royal Liver Building. Atop of the latter sit 

two Liver Birds, the symbols and ‘guardians’ of the city, 

perching 300 feet above the streets below. From spring, 

Royal Liver Building 360 brings guided public tours to 

Liverpool’s most iconic landmark for the very first time. 

For further evidence of why the city is so decorated, take 

a stroll around the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool. The 

Dock, which dates back to 1840, is the largest collection 

of Grade I listed buildings in the country and has 

played an integral part in Liverpool’s fortunes 

for more than 170 years. But it is far from just a 

heritage site – it is nowadays home to exceptional 

restaurants, bars, museums and some of 

Liverpool’s most popular visitor attractions. 

If you want to get a sense of the ever-evolving 

story of Liverpool, you only need to look 

up and glance at the buildings. Liverpool 

has some of the best examples of 

neoclassical architecture in the 

world, such as the magnificent 

DID YOU 

KNOW? 

In 2019, Wirral is the City 

Region’s Borough of Culture. 

There is a packed programme 

of activity right across the year, 

check out Imagine Wirral 

for the full details. 

St George’s Hall. Or just over William Brown Street, 

visit Central Library to see how stunning original 

features like the Picton Reading Room have 

been merged with contemporary architecture 

to become an architectural wonder. 

The Georgian Quarter is a very different 

but equally striking area, home to 

Liverpool’s two famous cathedrals; the 

soaring neo-gothic Liverpool Cathedral 

(the largest in the UK) and the modernist 

Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the 

King with its glorious stained glass windows. 

It’s unsurprising that when RIBA was looking 

to open a new national architecture centre, it 

chose the waterfront. As well as offices there are 

exhibitions open to the public, and architectural 

tours running through different themes of the city. 

MUSEUMS 

The Museum of Liverpool impresses with its landmark 

waterfront location and unique exhibitions. Inside, visitors 

can explore how Liverpool’s port, its culture and its people 

have shaped the city. Also currently showing is Double 

Fantasy: John and Yoko, which tells the story of their 

relationship in their own words, and using many items 

which Yoko Ono has allowed to be seen for the first time. 

Just along the waterfront at the Royal Albert Dock 

Liverpool, there is the Merseyside Maritime Museum, 

where you can find out all about the people, ships 

and the companies connected to this port city. 

Housed in the same building is the International 

Slavery Museum, which gives an unflinching account 

of the slave trade and the city’s role within it.

Then there is World Museum, in the St. George’s 

Quarter of the city, in which visitors can explore the 

natural world, ancient civilizations, marine life and even 

make a journey into space through the planetarium. 

Port Sunlight is a must-see when visiting the city region. 

The model village located in Wirral is packed with history, 

and the story of how it was built by William Hesketh 

Lever for the workers at the Sunlight Soap factory is 

wonderfully told at the Port Sunlight Museum. 

PERFORMANCE 

Liverpool’s performance spaces do a roaring trade in both 

laughter and tears, sometimes on the same night. 

The legendary Everyman theatre was completely rebuilt in 

2014, winning the RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK’s best new 

building and, more importantly, adoring fans for its bold, 

intelligent and fun productions. Together with sister theatre 

Playhouse, it attracts some of the best companies in the 

business as well as developing local talent. 

The Empire is the largest theatre in Liverpool and stages 

the big musicals and spectacular shows, often straight from 

the West End. 

The Royal Court offers a range of long-running plays and 

one-off nights, and the Epstein Theatre is Grade II listed 

with a striking interior and whole host of entertainment of 

all varieties. 

The Unity Theatre, which plays host to some of the most 

innovative theatre and performance in the city, has been 

joined in the Georgian Quarter by the Hope Street Theatre 

– recently opened in the Masonic Hall, and adding yet 

another string to Liverpool’s theatrical bow. 

Elsewhere, the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton, the seaside 

resort of Southport’s Theatre and Convention Centre and 

St Helens Theatre Royal all have varied programmes of 

theatre, family shows, comedy and music. 

Each November Homotopia, the month-long LGBT+ 

arts festival, brings cutting-edge performance to the 

city. Immerse yourself in its eclectic mix of drama, music, 

workshops, drag and dance – with a headline draw being 

John Waters’s only UK show in 2018. 

Regular comedy nights can be found everywhere in the 

city – with Comedy Central, Hot Water Comedy Club or 

Laughterhouse at The Slaughter House. 

Then there is the Echo Arena – in addition to music 

superstars it hosts all the big names of comedy. Over 

the Christmas period its pantomime is Peter Pan, with A 

Christmas Carol at the Everyman, Jack & the Beanstalk at 

the Empire and Aladdin at the Floral Pavilion amongst the 

other highlights.

MUSIC 

LIVERPOOL IS A WORLD-CLASS DESTINATION WITH A RICH AND DIVERSE MUSICAL 

HERITAGE. FAMOUS FOR ITS MERSEY BEAT, LIVERPOOL WAS CROWNED A UNESCO CITY OF 

MUSIC IN 2015 AND NAMED THE ‘WORLD CAPITAL OF POP’ BY GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS. 

16 

The Beatles put Liverpool on the map, and things in 

the city were never the same. You can fully experience 

Beatlemania in many of Liverpool’s venues and attractions. 

The Beatles Story and Magical History Museum are great 

places to start, to see how four local lads in a skiffle group 

evolved into the global phenomenon which defined the 

1960s. Discover fascinating memorabilia, including the 

band’s original instruments and outfits, rare album sleeves, 

photographs and hand-written lyrics. Take a trip down 

memory (and Penny) Lane on the Magical Mystery Tour, 

which takes you to the childhood homes of Lennon and 

McCartney plus Strawberry Field and many other iconic 

locations. The tour finishes on Mathew Street, home to the 

famous Cavern Club which was the centre of the rock and 

roll universe in the 1960s, and still hosts live music every 

night – including a set by Paul McCartney himself in 2018. 

Within the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool is The Beatles 

Story, an illuminating interactive experience which will 

take you through the history of the band from their 

earliest days through Beatlemania and then their 

subsequent solo careers. With separate rooms devoted 

to key periods and albums, such as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely 

Hearts Club, their time in India and finally with a touching 

John Lennon tribute, it’s an in-depth look at the band. 

Audio guides are available in 13 languages too.

much of which has never been seen before. 

However it’s not all The Beatles - Liverpool’s music scene 

is always booming, with artists entertaining passionate 

crowds every night in independent venues such as 

Invisible Wind Factory, District, EBGBs, The Jacaranda 

and Buyers Club. Some of the biggest names in music 

have visited the city’s Echo Arena and O2 Academy 

recently, such as Katy Perry, Stormzy and CHIC. For 

classical fans there is the world-renowned Royal Liverpool 

Philharmonic Orchestra, and a thriving dance scene 

brings warehouses and clubs alive throughout the year. 

Enrich your musical knowledge at the British Music 

Experience and discover how music and pop-culture 

has evolved since 1945 through costumes, interactive 

games, videos and memorabilia. See outfits worn by 

artists from Freddie Mercury to the Spice Girls, Adam 

Ant to the X Factor finalists and musical instruments 

played by some of the world’s most renowned artists 

from Noel Gallagher to the Sex Pistols. There’s handwritten 

song lyrics from Adele, the original statues from 

the Brits and the Apple Corp front door from Saville Row. 

You can unleash your inner rock star and learn a musical 

instrument, sing your heart out in the vocal booth, or 

dance through the decades in the routines studio. 

Liverpool is renowned as a musical city, and 

whatever you listen to, you’ll hear it here.

In fact, a night out in Liverpool was voted number 

three! The ‘good times central’, Liverpool is an everchanging 

mix of hidden bars, floor-to-ceiling whiskey 

cellars, confetti canons and bingo bonanzas. 

If you’re on the hunt for a hive of activity then Seel Street 

is the place to be. Filled with bars and clubs, take a 

walk from one end to the other and you’ll be sure to 

find one that takes your fancy. For the ultimate carnival

Latin dancers and confetti showers every weekend.

half of Liverpool convening at the end of the night. 

Stray just off Seel Street and you’ll find a myriad of bars

peeled for a blackened door and window; cocktails 

taste so much better when you’ve had to hunt them

SPORT IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER IN LIVERPOOL, AND IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DEFINES IT. 

With two Premier League football clubs, the world’s 

most famous horse race and a host of championship 

golf courses, the city region offers something for all 

Liverpool Football Club has an extremely rich history, 

winning 18 national league titles and 5 European Cups, 

narrowly missing out on a sixth in 2018. The club’s museum 

and stadium tours allow visitors to immerse themselves 

in one of the world’s most famous clubs through stateof-the-art 

technology, learning about legends such as 

Bill Shankly and Kenny Dalglish as well as following in 

the footsteps trod by Jurgen Klopp’s current side. 

Across Stanley Park, Everton Football Club are also one of 

the most storied clubs in the country. As well as being one 

of the original founding members of the football league, 

they are the fourth most successful club in England, 

having won 9 league titles, 5 FA Cups and one European 

trophy while boasting legends such as Dixie Dean, Alan 

Ball, Neville Southall and, most recently, Wayne Rooney. 

Visit their historic Goodison Park to see one of the finest 

examples of a traditional English football ground. 

2019 sees Liverpool host the Netball World Cup, which 

promises to be one of the most anticipated events 

on the calendar. Fresh from their success in defeating 

Australia in their own backyard at the Commonwealth 

Games, all eyes will be on England and whether 

they can win their first Netball World Cup. Sixteen 

countries from across the world will be descending on 

Liverpool throughout July, with games from 12-21st.

Class 1 horse racing throughout the calendar. 

The highlight of course is each April, when the 

Randox Health Grand National comes to town, 

attracting tens of thousands of spectators as well 

as more than 600 million TV viewers worldwide. 

However it’s not just horse racing. In December, the 

Liverpool International Horse show returns to the 

Echo Arena, bringing world-class dressage and show 

jumping to the city in an end-of-year spectacular 

that’s ideal for enthusiasts and newcomers alike. 

The city region’s coastal locations means it’s a perfect 

spot for golf courses, boasting 19 in total. The jewels 

in the crown are the two Royal links courses – Royal 

Birkdale and Royal Liverpool – which regularly host 

the Open Championship. The Claret Jug most 

recently came here in July 2017, when Jordan Speith 

triumphed on the Sefton coast. And if you want to play 

a round yourself, most courses welcome visitors. 

Rugby League fans will know the stature of St. Helens, 

who have been at the forefront of the game since 

it started. The city region is also home to a second 

EVERTON FC 

Super League team, Widnes Vikings, and if you’ve 

never been to the thrilling spectacle that is a rugby 

league game, there’s no better place to start. 

And if you fancy getting involved in a sport yourself, the 

city region has you covered. Take a look at Liverpool 

Watersports Centre or Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre, 

two fantastic facilities which offer beginner 

lessons in sports such as canoeing, 

windsurfing and open-water swimming.

WHAT DO YOU DO ? 

WHEN YOU WANT THE BEST 

AFTERNOON TEA IN LIVERPOOL 

Originated by the Duchess of Bedford, afternoon tea 

was a convenient way of bridging the hunger gap 

between lunch and evening meal. It soon became a 

fashionable social event and still is today. Birthdays, 

engagements, valentine’s day celebrations, spa breaks 

often centre around afternoon tea – now often served 

with bubbles such as Prosecco or Champagne. 

So we’ve decided to discover some of Liverpool’s best 

places for Afternoon Tea. From the traditional, to the 

jaw dropping to even Beatles themed. We’ve found it.

EAT 

IF YOU’VE SPENT YOUR DAY EXPLORING ALL THAT LIVERPOOL HAS TO 

OFFER THEN YOU’VE PROBABLY WORKED UP QUITE THE APPETITE. 

34 

Luckily for you the city is bursting at the seams with 

everything from burgers to bagels…the only problem is that 

after you’ve sampled them all, your clothes might be too! 

It doesn’t matter where you are in the city, you’ll be 

sure to find something to whet your appetite. 

HOPE STREET 

For a fine-dining experience like no other then head to one 

of Liverpool’s most loved neighbourhoods, Hope Street in 

the Georgian Quarter. If you’re after a special meal that puts 

fresh, local produce and great flavour as the priority then 

60 Hope Street, The Art School or The London Carriage 

Works are all perfect options. For something a little more 

relaxed head to The Quarter, we recommend grabbing 

one of their sharing boards to tuck into with a friend or 

make a beeline for HOST and sample their small plates. 

Coffee connoisseurs should pay a visit to 92 Degrees’ 

coffee who believe they’ve found the perfect temperature 

for coffee extractions, yes you guessed it, 92 degrees. 

COMMERCIAL DISTRICT 

Don’t be fooled into thinking Liverpool’s Commercial 

District is just full of busy workers heading to and from 

the office, the area is also full of great restaurants and 

bars. Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, in 

Hotel Indigo, offers phenomenal dishes in a beautiful, 

understated elegance. For the best pancakes this side 

of the Atlantic head to Moose Coffee, the ultimate place 

for a filling breakfast before a day of exploring. It’s not 

just a place for the early riser either with Fazenda offering 

the carnivores amongst us the finest selection of cut 

meats meanwhile tapas at Salt House Bacaro is perfect 

if you can’t decide what you fancy, we recommend 

the buttermilk chicken with macaroni cheese. 

THE WATERFRONT 

If you find yourself taking in Liverpool’s picturesque 

waterfront then make sure you stop by one of the great 

restaurants, many of whom have a view to die for. Lunyalita 

specialises in Catalan tapas while just along the docks 

you’ll find Smugglers Cove, a pirate-themed restaurant 

whose famous hanging kebabs are not to be missed. 

A local favourite, Rough Hand Made Bakery, can also 

be found at the Royal Albert Dock. With everything 

from savoury pasties to sweet treats it will take a whole 

lot of will power to walk past without popping in! 

For some of the best views in the city head to Panoramic 

34; a restaurant that offers floor to ceiling views from the 

34th floor. We recommend treating yourself to afternoon 

tea with a view of Liverpool’s famous Liver building. 

LARK LANE 

Just outside of the city centre you’ll find Lark Lane, a 

street that comes alive at night with an abundance of 

independent restaurants. For carnivores, Meat Factory 

is the place to go with some of the best burgers in town. 

Chilli Banana is perfect if you’re looking for Thai street 

food meanwhile the tapas at Monkey Grinder will leave 

you wondering how many is too many small plates. 

The answer, by the way, is that there’s no such thing!

BALTIC TRIANGLE 

Liverpool’s creative district is home to Baltic Market which 

is always worth a visit. Working on rotation, some of the 

city’s finest eateries showcase their menu highlights all 

under the same roof. Choose between everything from 

halloumi fries to fried chicken before settling down in the 

communal seating area. Just around the corner you’ll 

find the Baltic Social who offer Punk Afternoon Tea; a 

twist on the British classic with mini burgers, fries and 

lollipops, all washed down with a cocktails in a teapot. 

Let your nose lead the way when the smell of freshly 

baked bread from Baltic Bakehouse fills the air. 

Whether you want an early morning bacon butty 

or a fresh loaf to take home with you, these guys 

will make all your breaded dreams come true. 

BOLD STREET 

OUTSIDE THE CITY 

If you’re heading slightly further afield outside of 

the city centre, then Southport’s Vincent Hotel 

and Restaurant is a local favourite. The winner of 

multiple awards and accolades, their accompanying 

sushi bar is a great option for a light lunch. 

For fresh, local produce one of the many farm shops 

and restaurants over on the Wirral will have you 

covered. Claremont Farm in Bebington offer Britain’s 

best asparagus meanwhile Mere Brook House offer 

special ticketed events for an evening of home-grown, 

local food, while the intimate Michelin star restaurant 

Fraiche, creates modern exciting tastes and textures. 

Wherever you decide to sample whilst in 

Liverpool, you can rest assured that you’ll be 

leaving more than satisfied. Bon Appetit!

Bold Street may well be famous for its shops but it also 

has some pretty good restaurants lining the cobbles. If 

you’re after a burger then you’ll be spoilt for choice at 

Nolita Cantina, while pizza fans should make a beeline 

for Crust to sample their charcoal pizza. Head to Love 

Thy Neighbour for the most Instagrammable restaurant 

in town who also happen to offer a great healthy lunch 

option in the form of their famous Buddha Bowls. 

You can take a trip around the world with a visit to either 

Kasbah for authentic Moroccan cuisine or Bakchich for all

CITY CENTRE. Church Street is the traditional centre of 

Liverpool’s retail offer, and is home to big names such as 

Marks & Spencer, Primark, Next and Clarks. There’s also 

a TK Maxx which, for our money, has the best selection 

of any we’ve been to! Performers are dotted down the 

street, and help to ensure the whole area is always busy

Metquarter is a shopping centre which prides itself on 

designer brands both major and local, as Hugo Boss, 

Gieves & Hawkes and Kurt Geiger rub shoulders with 

Francesca Couture and House of CB. 

OUTSIDE THE CENTRE. If you love vintage then you 

should head Red Brick Hangar, situated in Cain’s Brewery 

Village. You can lose hours in here exploring each of 

the different trader stalls from some of the city’s best 

independents, with artists, jewellers, boutique designers, 

tattooists and barbers. 

The coastal town of Southport is a short drive (or train ride) 

away from the city centre and offers a wonderful selection 

of boutique, independent stores within a procession of 

classic Victorian Arcades located on the famous Lord 

Street boulevard. It’s said that Napoleon III was inspired 

by Southport when remodelling Paris, and it’s easy to see 

why! There are also department stores, specialist shops 

and all the major high street names. 

Lark Lane is considered one of the city’s most popular 

streets, situated in South Liverpool. You can find bohemian 

independents such as Larks and Number 13, treasure 

troves full of quirky gifts, cards, incense and jewellery. Up 

the road Frieda Mo’s is not only a vintage boutique but 

also a bakery and event space stocking your favourite 

childhood sweets and freshly-made cakes.

MERSEYRAIL TRAINS AND GOOD CYCLE ROUTES.

As wonderful and entertaining as the city centre is, 

we’d heartily encourage you to spread your visit out 

to take in some of the other areas of the city region. 

Where better to start than South Liverpool? 

It’s an area of parks, independent eateries and 

bars, historic landmarks and distinctive areas. It’s 

also very easy to navigate, with regular buses, 

Merseyrail trains and good cycle routes. 

Sefton Park, the largest park in the whole city region, is a 

good place to start. It’s home to events throughout the 

year including food festivals, Africa 

Oyé and LIMF, but is well worth a 

visit at any time. The spectacular 

glass Palm House is a must-see and 

as well as hosting events, is open 

virtually all year for visitors hoping 

to see its constantly-evolving botanical 

collection. Take some peas to feed the swans and other 

birds in Sefton Park lake, and stroll through the Fairy Glen. 

Adjoining the park is Lark Lane, a hub of independent 

shops, restaurants and bars which is popular with 

visitors as well as locals. It’s hard to narrow it down to 

a few places, but we’ll try. Boutiques such as Larks and 

Number 13 have you covered for one-off clothing, 

jewellery and gifts, and the Tea House stocks beautiful 

handmade teaware as well as serving you some delicious 

conconctions. For food and drink, Keith’s Wine Bar is 

a local institution, Green Days café serves delicious 

vegetarian breakfasts and brunches, and Monkey Grinder 

offers up some perfect and unusual cocktails. Lark Lane 

also offers flavours from around the world – Turkey (Elif 

and Belly), Greece (Cypriana), Thailand (Chilli Banana), 

the Middle East (Lark Lane Bistro) and Italy (Nonno’s).

IF YOUR LIVERPOOL WISH LIST IS AS LONG AS YOUR ARM, THEN YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING 

TO NEED MORE THAN ONE DAY TO GET IT ALL DONE.

PULLMAN 

Luckily for you Liverpool has plenty of places to 

lay your head after a busy day of sight-seeing, 

with everything from luxury hotels to self-catering 

apartments and budget-friendly hostels. 

HOTELS 

Head to Liverpool’s Stanley Dock and hidden 

inside a former rum warehouse you will find 

the Titanic Hotel. Staying true to the original 

dimensions of the warehouse, it’s a triumph of 

design and a truly unique hotel, complemented by 

a waterside restaurant and underground spa. 

Liverpool city centre has hotels aplenty, ensuring there’s 

enough beds for everyone. Hard Days Night Hotel pays 

homage to the city’s most famous sons, The Beatles, 

and is the world’s only Fab Four-inspired hotel. Hotel 

Indigo is another place that discreetly links to the 

fabric of the city, with its chic interiors referencing the 

legacy of Liverpool’s commercial district. 

Down on the waterfront you’ll find the 4-star 

Pullman which is not only perfectly located 

for some of the major attractions but also 

boasts unbeatable views of the River Mersey. 

HOPE STREET HOTEL 

The Georgian Quarter meanwhile is home to the 

beautiful design of the Hope Street Hotel; when finished 

the expansion will allow even more visitors to stay in 

the midst of Liverpool’s cathedrals and theatres. 

Sophistication is the word at the five-star Hillbark 

Hotel in the green surroundings of Wirral. 

This beautiful grade II listed hotel has lashings 

of character and a fascinating history.

SELF-CATERING 

If you would rather create a home-from-home base 

and opt for self-catering accommodation, then 

there are plenty of choices. Staycity Aparthotels 

have two properties in the city centre, one of which 

overlooks Liverpool’s famous Liver Birds, and both 

are the perfect, spacious self-catering option. 

Situated in the heart of Liverpool ONE are BridgeStreet 

Apartments which make the perfect base for exploring 

the city. Meanwhile, Herons Well Cottage offers some 

countryside peace and quiet but is still perfectly 

located for the seaside town of West Kirby. 

SPA 

If you feel like leaving the hustle and bustle of the 

city behind, then Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa 

offers the perfect escape. Whether you fancy a round 

of golf or a relaxing spa treatment, this is the place 

to stay for some R&R. The Suites hotel in Knowsley 

is home to the first ‘5 bubble’ spa in Merseyside 

and the hotel is the only 4-star hotel in the North 

West that ensures every guest gets a suite. 

Thornton Hall Hotel and Spa is set in the grounds of 

one of Wirral’s most picturesque villages and offers 

visitors excellent hospitality and service during their 

stay. If you don’t fancy leaving the city but still crave 

some peace and quiet then DoubleTree Hotel and 

Spa is the perfect option, allowing you to escape 

the mayhem while staying in the heart of things. 

B&Bs/GUEST HOUSES 

Mere Brook House, located on the edge of Thornton 

Hough village, is a friendly guest house that was 

awarded 5-star status from VisitEngland, that’s worth 

the visit for their homemade honey alone. 2 Blackburne 

Terrace in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter is an 1826 town 

house that has been lovingly converted into a luxury 

B&B, offering some of the finest interiors around as 

well as a first-class welcome from Glenn and Sarah. 

BUDGET FRIENDLY 

If you’d rather save your pennies for souvenirs, then 

there are plenty of budget-friendly options as well. 

Holiday Inn Express at Albert Dock is perfectly located 

for a day of sightseeing and won’t break the bank. 

Liverpool also has some great city centre hostels; 

Euro Hostel is in the ideal location for the city’s 

nightlife meanwhile the new Sleep Eat Love 

has been decorated with Instagram in mind 

making it the perfect millennial stop off.

LIVERPOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE

ROYAL PRINCESS

The iconic waterfront is the defining image of the city and 

getting the ferry ‘cross the Mersey is a must for all visitors 

– especially on our now famous Dazzle Ferry, designed by 

Sir Peter Blake. 

Each year Liverpool Cruise Terminal welcomes cruise ships 

from around the world into that famous waterfront, which 

is a key part of Liverpool’s status as a UNESCO World 

Heritage Site. The welcome is so renowned that over the 

last 10 years awards won include Cruise Critic Best UK Port 

of Call 3 times, Seatrade Destination of the Year 2015 and 

Seatrade Port Personality of the Year 2017. 

In 2018, 57 cruise ships visited our famous waterfront 

carrying over 100,000 passengers and crew; or to put 

it another way, that’s enough people to fill St George’s 

Great Hall an impressive 125 times! We welcomed some 

returning favourites such as the Disney Magic, Queen 

Victoria and Royal Princess, as well as a plethora of new 

arrivals including Ocean Dream, Seabourn Ovation and 

Viking Sun. 

Plans are well underway for Liverpool’s brand new, state 

of the art £50 million cruise terminal. Due to open in 2021, 

the new cruise terminal will be able to handle the world’s 

biggest cruise ships and thousands more passengers to 

our world-famous waterfront.
