Top Attractions in Liverpool
💡 Ask at the desk for the free guided tour — it’s short (20 mins) but gets you into the basement cells where prisoners were held before trial. Tours run Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00.
💡 Climb the spiral staircase to the roof terrace — it's usually quiet and gives a great view of St George's Hall.
💡 The aquarium in the basement is tiny but free; kids love it. Also, the rooftop cafe has decent views of the Three Graces.
💡 Take the Mersey Ferry from the pier next door (return ticket about £12) for the best view of the Three Graces — but do the walk along the dock first for free.
💡 Walk to the Palm House — it’s free to enter and often has local art exhibitions. The café there is better than the park café by the lake.
