Coming in at number 7 on the list of largest cities in the UK, Liverpool has a lot to offer to its ever-creasing number of visitors. Originally founded as a new borough by King John in 1207, Liverpool has seen continuous expansion and growth for over 800 years. Currently, the ‘world capital of pop’ as it’s also referred to, welcomes close to 40m visitors per year.
Arguably, one of Liverpool’s biggest claims to fame is being the birthplace of The Beatles. We’re just going to assume that you already know who they are, and if you’re a fan, then visiting The Beatles Story at the Albert Dock is an absolute must. There, you can see The Beatles’ story through mock-up scenes and displays. This attraction is not to be confused with the Liverpool Beatles Museum located nearby. The Liverpool Beatles Museum features a host of original Beatles paraphernalia, including letters, clothes, and bits of film. Footie fans will undoubtedly want to visit the world-famous Anfield Stadium, home of Liverpool FC. This superstar club has won 3 UEFA Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup. You can take a tour of the stadium, visit the museum, or simply soak up the atmosphere in this iconic venue. Other major attractions that people flock to see include Liverpool Cathedral, the UK’s largest cathedral; The Royal Albert Dock, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a tonne of museums, restaurants, and shops; and The Tate Liverpool, a modern art museum located at The Royal Albert Dock.
Unfortunately, like many other large cities in the UK, finding safe and secure parking spots can be a hassle –or exorbitantly expensive. If you’re driving up to Liverpool yourself, looking for a hotel that has free or deeply discounted parking available can save you quite a bit of money. This guide will help you find the highest-rated and most popular hotels in Liverpool that either have free guest parking or convenient and affordable options nearby.
