The best way to get your day started upon arriving in Liverpool is to go for breakfast. With 3 locations dotted around the city, Moose Coffee, offers an American Canadian influenced breakfast. The all-day breakfast menu provides you with plenty of choice, with dishes ranging from pancakes and French toast; eggs in various forms; potato hash; porridge; and even steak!
Liverpool has one of the largest collections of galleries and museums in the UK, so once you’ve finished with a delicious breakfast, you can spend some time exploring the amazing culture on offer throughout the city. Many of the museums are located around Albert Dock including Tate Liverpool, Museum of Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, and The Beatles Story.
This is also a great opportunity to soak in the views from Albert Dock and learn about some its history, as The Dock was given UNESCO World Heritage status in 2004, due to its role as one of the world’s major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries. You can also take sightseeing a step further whilst at The Dock by boarding the Mersey Ferry, which will take you on a 50-minute River Explorer Cruise. (And yes, they do play Gerry & The Pacemakers!)

From The Albert Dock, you can take a short walk to the Baltic Triangle, an area of Liverpool that has been redeveloped to house a variety of music venues, cafes, bars, and creative spaces. Here you will find the Baltic Bakehouse, a shop and café that makes award winning bread - this is a great place to grab a sandwich for lunch.
After lunch, you can head back to the city centre, which is the perfect place to do a bit of retail therapy. Boasting over 170 shops, look no further than Liverpool ONE for the ultimate shopping experience. Alternatively, you could explore Bold Street, which is home to a variety of independent businesses, such as bookshops, vintage stores, music & art shops, and even a loose-leaf tea shop.
A great way to spend the evening is going to the theatre, and Liverpool certainly doesn’t fall short of them! With at least six different theatres spread out across the city, you are bound to find something you want to watch.
Finally, it’s time for an evening meal. Down The Hatch is a vegetarian/vegan junk food restaurant, located in a cosy underground basement on Duke Street. It provides wonderfully tasty food and cocktails and is an excellent way to end your day of exploring Liverpool.
