Liverpool Advice please

alison74

I have 48 hours in Liverpool from next Wednesday afternoon (getting in Lime Street at 3pm) and leaving at 4pm Friday (bargain GNER tickets and Travelodge tenner !)

I have looked at the Liverpool tourist website, and know that I would like to go to Beatles Experience, Albert Docks area and perhaps a tour of Annfield.

Could someone advise me what is 'dooable' in a day, taking into account I arrive at 3pm one day and will be limited to what I can do that day and only having one full day ?

I have no idea where anything is in relation to each other. Any local knowledge and itinerary suggestion would be great

Thanks in advance

If it's really cold and you need to get out of any bad weather, the Magical Mystery Tour (I think that's what it's called - it's a yellow bus that takes you around where the Beatles lived etc) is worth an hour or so ...

Get an all zones travel ticket, cost £3.70 then you can use the buses ferry and train all in the greater Merseyside area.
Tso's Chinease about 2 mins fom the travelodge for food all you can eat for £6, and for Breckfast try weatherspoons, open from 8am.
There is a tourist information office not far from the lodge, they will tell you all you need to know.....Have a nice trip

Ferry across the Mersey? That was brilliant (I don't get out much )

But in a weekend we also managed two plays as well (Can't recall the theatre names, just remember one being glass fronted at the top )

Glad

Liverpool Museum is great but I can't get the page to load so I can link to it
