The Liverpool City Guides deal with the questions every visitor brings: where to eat scouse without paying extra for the Beatles postcode, which free museums deserve a whole afternoon, where Scousers really drink and how far a train from Lime Street can take you in a day. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving the reason to go, what to order or look for and one useful tip per place. It opens in your browser the minute your payment goes through.

Things to do guide

Free national museums, two cathedrals that could not be more different, the Three Graces on the waterfront and the Beatles at a fair price.
Family guide

Free museums a few minutes apart, parks and beaches, a ferry on the Mersey and relaxed places to eat with children.
Nightlife guide

Victorian pubs with cask ale, a speakeasy behind an unmarked door, cellar gigs and late food in the Baltic Triangle.
Day trips guide
24 places
Windswept beaches on the Merseyrail line, Roman Chester, free Manchester libraries and North Wales, all by train.
Budget guide
23 places
Free museums and views, cheap eats and pints, a river trip for very little and a Beatles fix that hardly costs a thing.

Three places from the guides
Philharmonic Dining Rooms
Hope Street
A Victorian pub full of carved wood and stained glass, with gents’ toilets in marble that people come just to see. There are pies, scouse and Sunday roasts, but a pint and a slow look around is reason enough. From the food guide.
Liver Building
Pier Head
One of the Three Graces, with the two Liver Birds keeping watch from the top. It looks its best from the waterfront at dusk, when the facade is lit, and on some days you can join a guided tour. From the things to do guide.
Hilbre Island
West Kirby slipway, 40 min by Wirral Line plus a tide walk
At low tide you cross about two miles of sand to a small island with grey seals and the ruins of a lifeboat station. Wild and beautiful, but read the tide times carefully and allow around three hours there and back. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, open the guide
World City Trail’s Liverpool scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. Once the game is over, the guides take you further: a pint under the stained glass of the Philharmonic, an afternoon in the free museums of the Albert Dock, a train out to Crosby Beach or a cocktail high above the Mersey at sunset.
