Mainline Rail Services arrive at Liverpool Lime Street Station which is situated
in the heart of the city. It is well served by taxis and bus routes.

Arriving by coach

National Express Coach services arrive at Norton Street bus station.
To see a map of the location click here
From there it is a short walk down to Lime Street and Queens Square
Gyratory where you can catch a bus to the ground.

Arriving by Sea

Seacat
services from Dublin and Douglas arrive at the Pier Head - right in the
middle of town. Handy for buses and taxis. Nearest station is James
Street.

NorseMerchant services

on the wrong side of the river but there is a bus service to Hamilton
Square where you can catch a bus, train or ferry to Liverpool itself.

P&O Ferries from Dublin
arrive at Gladstone Dock within the Freeport - a short taxi or bus ride
from the city centre.


Getting around the city

The city is compact enough to be able to walk to most of the sights
however you may want to invest in a Saveaway ticket which gives you
unlimited off-peak travel on all busses and trains in the Liverpool area.
They are available from stations merseytravel shops (paradise street and
queens square) tourist information shops and many newsagents. Details of
many local rail and bus serices can be found here: http://www.arriva.co.uk/
There is now a fleet of frequent reliable and modern buses making it
easier to get around the city and waterfront.  Smart buses routes 1, 4/4A,
2 and 3 are circular routes.
There is also, of course, the Merseyrail Underground.Info and maps are
available here

Getting to the Ground.

Very regular bus services go from the city centre to Anfield and
thereabouts, in particular buses 26/27 (Sheil Road Circular)
and 17D (Fazakerley). A soccerbus runs on match days
from Sandhills Merseyrail station (Northern Line). For
travellers by car the stadium is well signposted, expect
however to be stuck in traffic. There are various schools,
garages, churches, pubs and rival football clubs offering parking
for around £6 a car, otherwise park on the side of the road
and pay a couple of quid to one of the Rooneys to mind your car.

Anfield Tour and Museum

Is well worth doing if you've never done it before. Learn loads more about
the clubs history and view tons of memorabilia including the four European
Cup replicas and the real one that we've kept.

Visit the changing rooms, touch the "This is Anfield" sign etc. During busy
times (like when we've just won the European Cup) you may need to book
your tour. Tel  0151 260 6677.  The museum sometimes does a combined
ticket that gets you into the Liverpool FC Museum and the Beatles
Museum at the Albert Dock. More details are on the club's official site
liverpoolfc.tv

Admission to the museum alone (where the cup is) is £5

On match days please make an effort to pop into the Hillsborough Justice Campaign
shop situated opposite the Albert pub. All are welcome.

Pubs around the ground

The Albert  - Right next to the Kop - famous for its atmosphere/singing.
Bedecked in football memorabilia from past teams and past visitors. Quite
good for a sing song (especially post a great victory). Full of memorabilia
and scarves from around the world. Footy on show.  Juke Box never really
recovered from Mushy's attention.

The Sandon - Birthplace of Everton and Liverpool. Bit further down
Walton Breck Road on the left just past the garage.  Huge pub with many
large rooms and big screen in the back room for live footy. Fave haunt of
many a RAWKite spilling out onto the "sun terrace". If you can't be arsed
waiting at the bar you can buy bottled beer from the bottle bar at the foot
of the staircase.

Sam Dodd's Wine Bar - little further still down Walton Breck Road
- obviously they sell wine too    er not much else to say really but
owned by the same people as the Sandon and home to some of the staunchest home and away regulars following LFC.

The Park - packed, sweaty, loud and probably best avoided. Right
opposite the Kop and Albert. Not one of our favourites. Bob K thinks it's
shite too

The Arkles - usually the pub for away support because of its
proximity to the Annie Road End but has a loyal Red following as well who
enjoy the banter - might see a few famous faces in there after the game
getting a quick bevvy.

The Salisbury (Little Solly) - handy stop between the Albert and
Stanley. Front and back bars, barely 5 minutes from the Kop.

The Stanley (Hotel) - by the traffic lights on the junction of
Walton Breck Road and Sleepers Hill. Top pub with a great vocal tradition
after the game. Serves highly recommended bowls of scouse pre-game.

The Flat Iron (Breckside) - very distinctively shaped pub, always
busy.

The Cabbage Hall - big pub at the top of Breck Road. Popular with
big screen. Good for a relaxed pre-match beer.

Other Landmarks

St John's Beacon
Every city that was half decent had a revolving restaurant in the 60s. This
was Liverpools. For years after the revolving gear mechanism broke down
it lay derelict before Radio City stuck a transmitter on the top and moved in.

Super Lamb Banana
half lamb, half banana sculpture currently situated on Wapping Dock.
Frequently gets painted different colours in the night by pranksters. Originally
cost £35,000 when created in 1998 - so spare change for Stevie G then.

Pubs
Evo has made a few suggestions in a thread of his own here
but then he's an arl arse    Liverpool city centre is brimming with bars
and pubs - it's impossible to keep up with them all.  You may find a few
RAWKites lurking in Dr Duncans  by Queens Square on a match day.

Nightlife -  Centred around Matthew Street area, Albert Dock  and Concert
Square/Ropewalks . Night time brings the revellers out in force wandering
between the areas.  For those of you wanting Nightlife without any clothes
on, Liverpool has a number of lap dancing bars dotted around the city
centre.  Aphrodites, Angels, X in the City , Sugar Fantasy Bar, and
Phantasy Club  are longest established

Eating Out

Hiya, coming to Liverpool next weekend and had no luck getting tickets for the Sheffield United Match.  I was wondering if anyone can recommend a pub with 3pm matches showing?  

[John C]

What area are you staying ?

Hiya, coming to Liverpool next weekend and had no luck getting tickets for the Sheffield United Match.  I was wondering if anyone can recommend a pub with 3pm matches showing?  

Without wanting to discuss such matters on a public forum (it's illegal, don't you know ) it might be an idea to get yourself up to the Anfield area on matchday - not only to sample the atmosphere, or possibly pick up a spare, but also because there may be a pub or two up there who happen to show 3pm games... I think... err...

[AshbourneRed]

Heading over for the derby county game next week.
Thanks.

[berlin_scouser]

Thanks for this amazing list of information about Liverpool. Very useful for OOTers and foreign visitors.

How would you rate the Cavern Club/Pub? Is it worth paying a visit or is it just a tourist trap (due to its famous past)?

We'll be coming to Liverpool very soon for the weekend around the Bolton match. 

Cheers!

[ant]

the cavern pub is a great time, plenty of lfc fans after the game and before mind you !!!

there are a few good pubs around the corner so if its not to your taste you can try them.

have a good time !

[joffley]

Do any of the pubs around Anfield show 3pm games? i.e. Newcastle match this Saturday? No tickets but while I'm in Liverpool would love to watch a game right next to where it's happening.

Stayed at the Hope Street Hotel back in March.

Bringing the parents to Liverpool next weekend and was hoping someone can answer the above questions for me?
