2026 Merseyside Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

#holidayitinerary Exploring Liverpool city center is such a fun and vibrant experience. The mix of historic landmarks and modern attractions makes every corner feel special. Walking around, you cannot miss the grand architecture, from the Royal Liver Building to the beautiful St George’s Hall. At the same time, the shopping scene at Liverpool One adds a modern buzz with plenty of stores, restaurants, and places to hang out. The city center also carries the spirit of The Beatles everywhere, with music spots and little touches of the band’s history adding charm to the streets. I really enjoyed how walkable the area is, with plenty of cafés and pubs to stop and soak up the atmosphere. At night, the city comes alive with music and laughter, giving it a welcoming energy. Whether you are here for history, culture, or just good vibes, Liverpool city center has it all.

Liverpool is a cathedral city, port city, and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, England. It had a population of 496,770 in 2022. The city is located on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, adjacent to the Irish Sea, and is approximately 178 miles (286 km) northwest of London. Liverpool is the fifth largest city in the United Kingdom and the largest settlement in Merseyside. It is part of the Liverpool City Region, a combined authority with a population of over 1.5 million. Residents of Liverpool are often called "Scousers" in reference to scouse, a local stew made popular by sailors in the city, while "Scouse" is also the most common name given to the distinctive local accent. The city's cultural and ethnic diversity has resulted from its history of attracting immigrants, especially from Ireland, Scandinavia, and Wales; it is also the home of the earliest black community in the UK, the earliest Chinese community in Europe, and the first mosque in England.

went to LFC to catch a football match + signed up for the museum tour. - do note that museum tour on game days do not include player changing room (sadly) and usually are very crowded. didn’t really have a choice since we were only there for the game so I cramped everything together ): however, the tours were excellent and guides were very funny. #roadtrip#summervacation
