When to go to Liverpool
May to September has the mildest weather for the waterfront and walking tours, though rain is possible all year, and winter is cool, wet and quieter. The International Beatleweek festival takes place in late August, and the Grand National at Aintree in April fills hotels. Big football matches at Anfield also push up prices on some weekends.

Tips for Liverpool
- The insides of Mendips (251 Menlove Avenue) and 20 Forthlin Road can only be seen on National Trust minibus tours, which are small and sell out; book well ahead.
- The Museum of Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, World Museum and Walker Art Gallery are free to enter; check opening days before planning a visit.
- Liverpool Cathedral is free to enter; the tower climb, with lifts and a final flight of steps, has its own ticket and the best view over the city.
- The Mersey Ferry river cruise from Pier Head takes about 50 minutes and shows the Three Graces from the water.
- Anfield stadium tours do not run on match days; Everton left Goodison Park in 2025 for the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
