HOTELS IN LIVERPOOL

Follow in the footsteps of Shankly and co on a behind-the-scenes tour

The stadium itself was originally used by arch-city rivals Everton FC who moved just across the park after a dispute with the club president. But it didn’t take long for Liverpool FC to establish Anfield as home.

Walk through the Shankly Gates, named after legendary manager Bill Shankly, and experience a football theatre like no other. The stadium has undergone redevelopment in recent years, including a new stand, but it remains steeped in history.

If you can’t make it on match day there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy Anfield. A behind-the-scenes tour takes you to the dressing rooms, player’s tunnel and manager’s dugout, as well as offering the chance to see the perfect view of the pitch from the top of the Main Stand. There’s also a whole museum dedicated to all things Liverpool FC to enjoy and truly dedicated supporters can book an audience with a Liverpool legend.
