Liverpool has a reputation as a friendly, welcoming place with both historic buildings and a vibrant nightlife scene. The city's waterfront on the Mersey is a UNESCO heritage site and is home to the famous Albert Dock. Liverpool also has plenty to offer if you are into shopping, sport or restaurants.
Wherever you are staying on your Liverpool break, you will be in striking distance of the major attractions in this compact city. Liverpool is deeply connected to the river Mersey, so it makes sense to start your exploration there.
The former warehouses of the Albert Dock are now one of Liverpool's foremost shopping and leisure destinations. Walk along the banks of the Mersey, visit the huge Maritime Museum, or if you're interested in music, visit the Beatles Experience to learn about the career of the Fab Four.
The ferry travelling from Liverpool over to the Wirral is mainly used by commuters but also offers routes along both banks of the river with a commentary. These cruises are the best way to view Liverpool's famous skyline and are perfect for photo opportunities.
Just a couple of miles out of the city centre is Anfield, home ground of Liverpool FC. Book a stadium tour to get behind the scenes into areas such as the directors' box or dressing rooms and take a look around the impressive trophy room. There is also a large club shop where you can pick up football-related souvenirs.
One of the finest surviving examples of a Tudor manor house, Speke Hall stands in extensive grounds to the south of the city. It's a great place to stroll through woodlands or attempt to escape from the maze.
There's plenty of variety available when it comes to holiday accommodation for City Break to Liverpool, with 1,302 Hotel rooms and 1,263 Apartment rentals on offer.
