Anfield stadium – you can’t miss it!
Anfield is home to legendary Liverpool FC. Every match here has an incredible atmosphere that will send chills down your spine. Imagine being surrounded by fans of Liverpool, who are among the best and most devoted in the world. They never give up hope of winning and cheer on their team from the moment the referee blows the starting whistle until the last 90 minutes. A trip to Anfield to see a Liverpool game should definitely be on your bucket list if you’re a football lover. And no wonder, it is an experience that cannot be erased from memory.
Being part of the sea of fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, the renowned football anthem of Liverpool FC., is another excellent reason to visit Anfield. Before each home game at Anfield, the song is chanted by the team’s fans, and the Gerry and the Pacemakers version is played over the PA system. Imagine being at Anfield, a crowded stadium where everyone is waving red scarves and singing this magnificent anthem at the top of their lungs.
Johan Cruyff’s describes it best:
“There’s not one club in Europe with an anthem like “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” There’s not one club in the world so united with the fans. I sat there watching the Liverpool fans and they sent shivers down my spine. A mass of 40,000 people became one force behind their team.”
A tour of the stadium would be a fantastic addition to your Liverpool adventure. The museum and stadium tour, led by enthusiastic tour guides, gives sports fans a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most well-known soccer clubs in the world. This gives you the opportunity to see the official players’ pre-match dressing rooms, the club’s trophy lounge, the Steven Gerrard section, see legendary photos of the players and the stadium, and learn about Liverpool’s rich history. In addition, you can see the Anfield stands in all their glory when there is no game played and without fans, which gives you a completely different feeling than during the match. The tickets cost around £20 to £25 so for such an unforgettable experience it is worth spending money.
Liverpool as the city
Liverpool is not only a legendary football team, but also a city full of history, beautiful architecture and the birthplace of arguably the most successful band of all time – The Beatles. Exploring the city and the biggest hotspots of Liverpool is the perfect warm-up before going to a game at Anfield.
Royal Albert Dock Liverpool
The Royal Albert Dock is a collection of warehouses and dock structures. Because ships could be loaded and unloaded directly from or to the warehouses, the dock’s architecture was deemed groundbreaking at the time it was built. The first hydraulic cranes in the world were added to it two years after it originally opened. The pier gained popularity as a storage location for priceless commodities including brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory, and sugar due to its open yet secure construction.
It is a historical location with stunning old English architecture and absolutely worthwhile to visit.
Liverpool Cathedral
Built on St. James’ Mount in Liverpool, it is the Church of England Cathedral of the Diocese of Liverpool and serves as the bishop’s residence. It is the largest cathedral and religious building in Britain. The cathedral was built between 1904 and 1978 and is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott. The structure is 207 yards long overall, making it the longest cathedral and eighth-largest church in the world. Beautiful Old Anglican architecture, breathtaking stained glass windows, and works of art and sculpture may all be found there. One of England’s most exquisite churches, it is.
The Beatles Story Museum and Exhibition
The Beatles Story immerses viewers in the lives, times, culture, and music of the greatest band in history. Join The Beatles on their journey as they first conquer Liverpool, then the rest of the world, by visiting replicas of important locations from their career, such as The Casbah Coffee Club, The Cavern Club, and Abbey Road Studios. You’ll also see historical Beatles artifacts like John Lennon’s glasses and George Harrison’s first guitar, as well as information about the British Invasion and each Beatle’s individual solo careers. In 2015, the museum was named one of the top tourist destinations in the United Kingdom.
Cavern Club
As a jazz club that first opened in 1957, The Cavern Club eventually developed into a hub of Liverpool’s rock and roll culture in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The club came to be intimately identified with Merseybeat and frequently hosted the Beatles in their formative years before they became famous all over the world. It served as a stage for appearances by other well-known musicians as well. The Who, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, The Hollies, The Rolling Stones, the Manfreds, The Animals, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Temptations, and Little Stevie Wonder are just a few of the band names and musicians’ names that may be seen on the Cavern Wall of Fame.
