Liverpool Weekend Itinerary: The Best Things to See and Do
During our latest UK trip, we tried to visit some cities in the region that we hadn’t been to before. One of those places was Liverpool. Famously known as the home of The Beatles, Liverpool is an artsy, grungy, port city with a ton of character. The Beatles may be the most famous musicians from Liverpool, but there is so much more music and film history associated with the city. Liverpool is a UNESCO City of Music and it was also named the City of Pop in 2001 by Guinness World Records, because the city produced so many number one pop hits.
But there is so much more to explore and see in the city beyond the music scene. There are great waterfront views, shops, cafes, restaurants, shopping, murals, museums, and more. So keep on reading to see how to spend the best weekend in Liverpool!
How to Get to Liverpool
We were coming from Brighton, so we took the train from Brighton to London, and then another train from London to Liverpool. The UK is pretty well connected via train, so it should be very easy to get around. Once we were in Liverpool, we pretty much walked everywhere, and occasionally took and Uber or Bolt if we needed to go a little farther.
Where to Stay in Liverpool
During our weekend trip, we stayed at INNSiDE by Melia Liverpool, which was was in a great location for everything we wanted to do. We could even see the waterfront from our hotel room window! They also have a rooftop bar SkyBar 360, with epic views of the city as well.
