A weekend break in Liverpool is a must-do, no matter your interests. Filled with historical buildings, fun activities, and great nightlife, there’s something in this lively city for every type of traveler.

The city is relatively small but has plenty to do, and you’ll find that you don’t need more than two days in Liverpool to see a decent variety of things. It’s really easy to navigate the city on foot too, meaning you can see plenty in a short space of time.

Seeing as I’m from Manchester (just an hour away), I’ve spent many a weekend in Liverpool with friends. I’m always the one putting the itinerary together too, so now I’m passing on my well-tested plan to you!

Weekend in Liverpool (2-Day Itinerary)

This itinerary has been compiled from years’ worth of weekend trips to Liverpool, as well as knowledge from my time living there. Many of my friends and family live in the city currently, so if I’ve not done the experience myself, they have, and would recommend it!

I’ve included a solid mixture of activities, from historical to cultural, foodie havens to live music and nightlife. You’ll find a more romantic hotel option for couples too.

Day 1 in Liverpool

No weekend in Liverpool would be complete without a Beatles tour, so naturally, this is suggested on day 1 of your itinerary. I’ve also recommended one of my favorite spots to visit for brunch to fuel your day of exploration.

Day 1: Morning

On your first morning, start the day with breakfast at one of Liverpool’s many excellent cafes and coffee shops. My personal favorite is Ruben’s in the Albert Dock area. Here, you can sip a coffee and eat pancakes as you watch the world go by at the waterfront. Save time to visit the Beatles story museum and discover the story of the ‘Fab Four’.

After breakfast and your fill of The Beatles, take a short 7-minute walk to Gower Street, where you can board a hop-on hop-off bus tour of Liverpool. Take in the city’s main attractions, such as the Liverpool Cathedral, St George’s Hall, and St Luke’s Bombed Out Church.

Disembark at the Liverpool ONE mall, where a plethora of stores await for you to shop til’ you drop. Don’t take too long though – from there, you’ll need to make the short 5-minute walk to the Beatles-themed Hard Days Night Hotel for a noon departure.
