Explore the City

In this section, explore some of Liverpool’s top spots, outdoor spaces, unique neighbourhoods and beyond.

We think that the whole of the city region is unmissable, but here we’ve narrowed it down to our favourites that we think any trip to Liverpool is incomplete without paying a visit to. From shopping and dining, to music and theatre, head to one or a few of Liverpool’s quarters that make up Liverpool’s undeniable cultural vibe.

The city region also has an abundance of outdoor spaces, parks, beaches and stunning coastline to explore. They are easy to access by train and there is so much to discover. Often host to an abundance of annual summer events, some are also home to unique art collections and all of them are a great places to appreciate the outdoors.
