Boat Tours – Liverpool

Experience Boat Tours in Liverpool

Best things to do: Think of famous legacies of this Merseyside city and you’ll probably say The Beatles, maybe Liverpool FC. Go see The Beatles Story, and tour their old haunts, but also make sure to wander around the Royal Albert Dock, and take in the grandeur of Liverpool Cathedral. For art lovers, there is the Tate Liverpool and Walker Art Gallery, and for sports fans there’s Anfield. Boat tours, music, culture and football. What more do you need?

When to go: Liverpool is a north-western maritime city, where the Mersey River flows into the Irish Sea. That means it gets cold during the winter months! So, if you don’t want to brace those western winds you need to head to Liverpool during the late spring and summer. Early autumn is also a lovely time to visit.

Hopping around by bus: How about combining a Mersey Ferry Cruise with a hop-on hop-off bus tour around the city? Consider it sorted, as that is exactly what you can do, climb aboard the bus, explore the sights and the city vibes. Then you can jump aboard the ferry and see the city from a new angle. Taking in the shoreline of this once vibrant marine centre. It’s the perfect combination.

• You’ll want to explore the vibrant Albert Docks. It’s also a historical one. Liverpool was the first port that used docks with artificial tides. It’s a total length of 7 miles and remains the largest in the world. You could say, you are walking on water!

• Walk along William Brown Street and you’re taking strides down one of the most cultural streets in the world. It’s nicknamed the cultural district for good reason. Every building along it is a cultural building.

• There are several theories as to the origins of Liverpool’s name. Of them all, the most commonly accepted is that Liverpool in old English meant Muddy pool!
