Royal Albert Dock Liverpool

Every visit to Liverpool, I ensure that my hotel is either located on the docks or just a two minute walk away. You can feel the history of the docks as you walk around all the many cafes, restaurants and shops. The museums next to docks such as the Museum of Liverpool & the maritime museum (apart from the Tate) are free admission and inform you about the dock's history as well as the surrounding area. Beautiful place indeed. Highly recommend visiting in the morning after 10am as it is more peaceful :)

Couple of key hints:

1. Do not just come on a Monday; almost all free museums are closed.

2. Book in advance, stayed in a hotel in the Docks hut nowhere had capacity for a table for 2 after 7pm on a Sunday.

The Royal Albert Dock has been very well upgraded in recent years for tourists but this does not make it a place to avoid. History and contemporary cultures mix in one of the UK's top cities and will leave you wanting to come back. (On a day other than Monday!)

WHAT A PLACE, you must visit, something for everyone, great walks, beautiful scenery, fantastic museums ( they are all free too, bonus ) plenty of places to eat and drink for all budgets, even picnic areas for you to take your own. Had an amazing time spent a couple of wonderful days there. I have real difficulty in getting around due to my legs, but everywhere is accessible and user friendly. If you visit jump on the yellow explorer bus it takes you everywhere and so informative, the price is very reasonable and your ticket lasts 24 hrs, cannot go wrong.

Returning to normal .. well about 50/50 is open after the Covid-19 lockdown. Still, there are plenty of eateries open and it was quiet for a midsummer Saturday afternoon. One thing though there was quite a queue for the loos as it seemed to be controlled (a one in one out kind of system). The Albert Dock is still a must see, must do on our great waterfront and when the galleries and museums open this coming week there should be a much wider choice of things to see, do, eat and drink.

So much to see and do ! Beatles tours are fab .Yellow hop on hop off buses offer full live guide tours of City and are very reasonable .Ask for packages to make even cheaper-.Take a trip across the Mersey with discount and money off Capital Tower visit.

The day we visited it was super windy and cold so we didn’t take the ferry trip. Wrapped up warm even though it was July and took a walk around. Always wanted to visit and glad that we have. Very overcast so we couldn’t see clear views across the river Mersey which was a shame but definitely could picture how lovely it would be on a nice day.

This is a must see venue for any tourist . Plenty of reasonably priced restaurants and good number of pubs . Swot up on the architecture built by a man named Hartley see st Catherine s dock London However the on site parking is £6 fir two hours . Suggest park elsewhere and walk.

This dock has been totally revamped and includes the Tate Liverpool and The Beatles Story within. There are also many restaurants and shops to visit and it’s not far from the Museum of Liverpool (highly recommended) and Pier Head. Just be aware that the wind can blow around here so wrap up if the weather’s not so warm!

Been here a few times and there's alwayd somrthing new to do. When the sun is shining you can get some takeaway food and have a picnic on the grass overlooking the Mersey. There's little hidden eateries, an old bus that's converted into a cafe, donuts and candy floss plus it's where you can spot a bit of art or take a trip on the ferry unless like me you've never gained sea legs.

We first came to Liverpool in 1964 on our honeymoon. Travelling abroad in the 60s was unheard of! Therefore, we thoroughly enjoyed returning after so many years and found it much more lively. We stayed at the Premier Inn at the Albert Dock which is very central and within easy walking distance to the attractions, numerous shops, cafes and restaurants, which incidentally were all under cover so no chance of not enjoying surroundings in bad weather (or even hot weather!). The best attraction was of course "The Beatles Story" which is situated next to/and under the Premier Inn. We took the opportunity visiting at opening time and had the museum to ourselves so we could really take in all the pictures, photos and information available, much of which was unknown to us! We could not believe we had been in there nearly 2.1/2 hours!! We also took the coach on the Magical Mystery Tour which was fascinating and great to see where see where it all began. Thoroughly recommend and we will certainly be returning with other family members.
