A Seafarers Guide to Visiting Liverpool FC!
For many seafarers, shore leave in Liverpool means one thing above all else: football. If you're a fan of the beautiful game, especially the mighty Reds, then a visit to Anfield Stadium is an absolute must. Even if there isn't a match on, the stadium tour offers a great experience, steeped in history and passion. Or simply head there to grab a photo outside the stadium.
Here at the Liverpool Seafarers Centre, we know how important it is for you to make the most of your time ashore, and we're here to help you get to the heart of the action!
The Anfield Experience: What to Expect
A trip to Anfield isn't just about watching a game; it's about soaking in the atmosphere of one of football's most iconic grounds.
The Stadium Tour: If you can't catch a match, the Anfield Stadium Tour & Museum is the next best thing. You'll get to see behind-the-scenes areas like the dressing rooms, the press conference room, the players' tunnel, and even touch the famous "This Is Anfield" sign. The museum, "The Liverpool FC Story," is packed with trophies, memorabilia, and interactive exhibits that trace the club's incredible journey. It's a truly immersive experience that brings the club's glorious past to life.
The Official Club Store (LFC Store): No visit is complete without picking up some official merchandise. From replica kits to scarves, souvenirs, and gifts for family back home, the LFC Store has it all.
The Statues: Don't forget to take a photo at the statues of legendary figures like Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley outside the ground.
