There's so much to get up to in the city
We may be a little bit biased but Liverpool is a wonderful city with a world-famous waterfront, a lively social scene, brilliant bars and restaurants and a rich musical heritage.
Some of our favourite spots are Rough Hand Made, a boutique bakery which is absolutely perfect for breakfast or lunch with fresh breads, pastries, sandwiches, pizza and Lavazza coffee all made through an open theatre-style kitchen. The Nest, described as “a magical curated cave of wonder” is perfect for bespoke, special gifts for friends and family and the best part is you’ll be supporting local Liverpool artists and creators.
Described as Europe’s first skyscraper the Royal Liver Building is topped by the majestic Liver Birds - the city’s world-famous emblem - which are a staggering 18ft tall and each weighs four tonnes. In 2019, RLB360 began offering guided tours of the 322ft Grade I-listed building’s clock tower giving visitors a 360 degree view around the city while ground-floor cafe/bar Relish is open to the public.
But the walls remain and the Bombed-Out Church is now a staple venue in the city for arts and community events. The nearby Cafe Tabac is a Bold Street institution and still the perfect pit-stop at any time of the day. Scouse is Liverpool’s traditional dish and Maggie May’s is famous for it. Maray is another Bold Street favourite with food inspired by the Middle East and drinks from brands around the city including 92 Degrees Coffee, Turncoat Gin and Love Lane Beer.
An early recommended stop-off is The Yacht Club Sport Bar and Grill which overlooks Liverpool Marina and is an idyllic spot on a sunny day. The venue will be hosting live Eurovision events and screenings. Another tip is to turn left when you reach the Festival Gardens - home to the 1984 International Garden Festival.
Take a walk down Hope Street It’s no surprise Hope Street was once named the ‘Best Street in the UK’. Book-ended by two cathedrals and lined with restaurants, pubs, a theatre and concert hall, it is undoubtedly one of Liverpool’s finest.. See the Liverpool skyline from the water Liverpool’s a beautiful city and extremely easy on the eye but it looks its brilliant best from the water. Ferry Cross the Mersey, written by the late Gerry Marsden and recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers, was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic and you’ll hear it played plenty of times as you head across the river and admire Liverpool’s world-famous skyline from the deck.
