Liverpool Travel Forum

I am coming to Liverpool for a long weekend in August,is it best to do the Ferry across the Mersey trip Friday afternoon or on the Saturday?

Hiya La, It does'nt matter which day but book the ferry tour ticket,it takes about 2hours and the commentary is a chance to learn a little of the river history.
The river-front at the Pierhead is not very good at present due to massive building projects---but still go and enjoy my home town and it's people.
Take in the Albert dock, Matthew St, some of the old pubs around Matthew St---
you will be back--Taraa!

Thanks mate will do! was thinking of doing the ferry,the 2 cathedrals,Matthew street,cavern club (whats best Friday or Saturday?),albert dock beatles story,museum of Liverpool life,maritime museum maybe china town.So much to do so little time! I only have 2 nights am coming up Friday but will do my best!

Either really is ok, on Friday you may catch the commutters but its never too busy.
If you come on the bank holiday weekend its the Mathew Street Festival so there will be loads going on and loads of free entertainment. However you will need to book accomodation soon as it will be very busy.

For all your sights it may be worth investing in this:
