• Liverpool Central Station: Quest

While not necessarily an immediately appealing place at first glance due to its industrial nature, a stay of several days reveals why locals have such fierce devotion to their intricate yet gritty home city. Originating as a trading hub for West African slaves, raw materials and locally manufactured goods, Liverpool became Britain`s second most trafficked port after London during the peak of the British Empire in the 19th century, playing a pivotal part in World War 2 as well. In the 1960s, the city symbolized the Mersey Beat sound and generated the globally most renowned band, The Beatles. More recently, this soccer-centric city has undergone urban rejuvenation and its noteworthy cultural heritage, world-class museums and trendy dining scene will leave you wishing you could lengthen your holiday.

Liverpool`s best hotels – ranging from lavish chains to quirky boutique accommodations – are generously scattered across the City Centre, Ropewalks, Liverpool Docks, Baltic Triangle, and the Georgian Quarter. Despite its size, Liverpool remains surprisingly walkable, with good public transportation connecting areas farther out.

Liverpool Neighborhoods

Your initial encounter will likely involve the Liverpool City Centre – the city`s most central region, bounded to the west by the Mersey River and Liverpool Docks, and to the east by the two main train stations (handy for trains to or from London). Well-suited for shopping, dining out, and nightlife, this notably busy area features some attractions, including the Liverpool Beatles Museum and the legendary Cavern Club where the band performed.

Just south of the City Centre, the Baltic Triangle is a trendy, resourceful and compact neighbourhood, outlined by its industrial past and featuring many warehouses and factories that have been changed into art and culture venues as part of the city’s post-industrial rebirth. There’s fine dining here, too; you can find anything from street food to pioneering restaurants and craft breweries.

Flanking the City Centre and the Baltic Triangle to the west are the Liverpool Docks that stretch along the river – the most visible indication of Liverpool’s past as Britain’s second port. Here you will find many of the major attractions in the city, as well as the Exhibition Centre, music and sports venues, a cluster of 4-star restaurants, and ample dining selections.

Squeezed between the Baltic Triangle and Ropewalks, and bordered by the City Centre to the north, Liverpool’s Chinatown – Europe’s first Chinese enclave – dates back to the 1850s, when trade between Liverpool and Shanghai led numerous Chinese merchants and sailors to reside there. While limited on attractions (besides the Chinese New Year displays in January or February) and lodgings, Chinatown has some excellent eating establishments.

Directly to the east of Chinatown, Ropewalks is arguably Liverpool’s most characterful neighborhood, its cobbled paths lined with cool independent and vintage stores, contemporary art galleries and repurposed rope-making factories, reworked into cultural venues. You’ll find some excellent boutique hotels here, as well as varied dining and lively bars.

Bordering the City Centre to the east is the Georgian Quarter, full of stately historical buildings including Liverpool’s two cathedrals as well as cultural venues and art galleries. There are also quality dining options here and the city`s two train stations are a brief walk away.

In the southeast suburbs of Liverpool, the leafy, residential area of Allerton is a must for hardcore Beatles admirers. Whether you want to take a look at Lennon and McCartney’s childhood homes or check out the inspiration behind the Beatles’ most famous songs, it’s worth driving or taking a bus out here.

Ropewalks is also no slouch when it comes to bars, with many located on Duke Street, Seel Street, and Wood Street. If you want to mingle with local students, head for Hope Street in the Knowledge Quarter, near the university.
• Best Areas in Liverpool for Food and Culture: Ropewalks, Georgian Quarter, Chinatown

  We enjoyed our stay at The Bellagio, but there are other popular accommodations along the Vegas Strip, such as The Venetian and Paris Las Vegas.

• Best Part of Liverpool for Families: Liverpool Docks, Georgian Quarter
  Liverpool Docks is a relatively placid neighborhood, suitable for families seeking 4-star comfort and amenities, since numerous Liverpool’s chain luxury hotels are located there. Also, you’re close to some of the city’s best attractions to explore, which is particularly good for older children. The Georgian Quarter is another good choice, since it’s also relatively tranquil and yet only a brief walk away from all the action.

Best Neighborhood in Liverpool to Stay for First Timer: Liverpool Docks, Ropewalks, City Centre, Baltic Triangle
For visitors exploring Liverpool for the first time, especially those with limited time, any of these neighborhoods make for a good home base depending on personal priorities. The Liverpool Docks area is well-suited for sightseeing given its proximity to major attractions, while the City Centre allows convenient access to all key destinations on foot and connections via train to surrounding cities. Meanwhile, the Baltic Triangle and Ropewalks neighborhoods also put all top sights within walking distance while boasting vibrant culinary scenes reflective of the city`s post-industrial spirit that encapsulates Liverpool

• Most Romantic Neighborhood in Liverpool: Ropewalks, Liverpool Docks Liverpool might not immediately evoke thoughts of affection, but there’s an undeniable charm in walking beside the River Mersey at the Liverpool Docks, and watching the sun set across the river and the Titanic monument can be unexpectedly charming. For a different experience, wander the cobbled lanes of Ropewalks with your significant other or indulge in a stay at a boutique hotel in the area, perfect for a romantic escape.
• Best Neighborhood in Liverpool for a Local Vibe: Ropewalks, Baltic Triangle
  The Baltic Triangle and Ropewalks are among Liverpool’s most creative neighborhoods, home to artistic types and young professionals. The repurposed warehouses and factories in both reflect the city’s industrial heritage, and Ropewalks in particular has a high concentration of independent stores, vinyl shops, and trendy restaurants.
• The Liverpool Docks and Ropewalks neighborhoods excel for accessible walking routes.

Much of Liverpool is conveniently navigated on foot, with the city comprised of relatively compact neighborhoods that are easy to explore without a vehicle. It’s difficult to beat the Liverpool Docks for the gritty urban river perspectives, as you meander past the dock warehouses-turned-museums and various riverside memorials, or the narrow, cobbled streets of historical Ropewalks for sheer ambulation (as long as you’re not wearing high heels!).

• Safest Areas of Liverpool
  Regardless of its gritty manner, Liverpool is generally quite safe for visitors. Most neighborhoods frequented by tourists are safe for walking around at any hour of the day, though at night, it’s wise to stick to well-lit areas and avoid shortcuts through deserted streets. Alcohol-fueled revelry in the city’s nightspots occasionally results in fisticuffs.
• Unsafe Areas of Liverpool
  Liverpool’s less safe neighborhoods are usually residential and mostly situated in the northern section of the city. These include Walton, Everton, Kirkdale and Vauxhall, and visitors have no rationale to venture there. Watch out for pickpocketing in markets and other busy areas, such as around the train stations in the City Centre.

3. Ropewalks

For individuals who prefer to drive themselves, we recommend renting a vehicle either at the airport upon arrival, or in Fira. The road from the ferry port is steep and narrow, with numerous tricky switchbacks, large trucks, and buses. Leave the navigation for the locals to handle. We strongly advise reserving transportation in advance, especially if you require automatic transmission. There is complimentary parking near the Imerovigli Basketball Court and near Sunbird Rent-A-Car. Imerovigli has the hardest-to-locate parking in Santorini, so you may need to circle around a couple times to find a spot.

Its winding streets and old warehouses and factories converted into artistic and music venues are a major draw for visitors seeking a quirky independent vibe.

5. Liverpool Docks

Referring back to Liverpool’s 1850s industrial peak – the city`s historical docks currently include overhauled warehouses that have been given a new purpose in life. This gentrified section of town is now home to some of Liverpool’s largest attractions, such as the Tate Liverpool,Maritime Museum (both on the Royal Albert Dock), the Museum of Liverpool, and the British Music Experience. There is a dense concentration of dining venues on the Royal Albert Dock and a scattering of hotels on the adjacent King’s Dock.

6. Chinatown

An impressive Shanghai-imported gate ushers visitors into Liverpool`s most vibrant ethnic quarter – Europe`s pioneering Chinatown established in the 1850s. Originally housing Chinese sailors arriving through the Liverpool-Shanghai shipping line, the district remains a dining destination. Specifically, restaurants densely line Nelson Street within close proximity. Characterized by a lack of lodging besides self-catered apartments, the enclave especially merits exploration during Chinese New Year festivities in January and February. During this period, roving lion dance performances further enliven the cultural ambiance.

There are no lodging options here, but you will find a sprinkling of eateries along Allerton Road.
