The city of Liverpool is one of a kind. With its deep cultural history, exciting nightlife and friendly faces, it’s no wonder that this north-west location receives just under a million visitors every year. If you’re planning a trip to Liverpool, you will obviously want to sightsee. However, the best way to explore the city is by blending in with the locals. Take a look at this guide which will help you discover Liverpool through the eyes of a local.
Head to hidden hotspots
One of the biggest hotspots at the moment is the Baltic Triangle. It has undergone a significant amount of regeneration to turn it into what it is today. Reputable companies like RW Invest have helped this transformation, with the building of their luxury apartments which look out towards the Baltic market and other unique bars. This area is becoming more known to the people of Liverpool. Although many tourists tend to stick to the city centre instead of venturing out. If you’re looking for a unique experience, you can find everything you need in the Baltic Triangle. This includes great street food and Liverpool-themed cocktails. After you’ve curbed your appetite and are feeling a bit of a buzz, you could head to Ghetto Golf, where you can make a hole in one in a toilet or Donald Trump’s head while enjoying some eclectic cocktails.
Go to a gig
Whether you’re a music fan or not, attending a gig in Liverpool is compulsory, because after all, it is the home of the fab four. If you’re a huge Beatles fan, you should not leave the city before visiting the famous Cavern Club. This is where they played plenty of gigs, along with other famous faces like The Rolling Stones and even Adele. There are also many other small venues, like The Zanzibar, The Jacaranda and more that have been host to some big names and are also helping local bands to get recognised. If you consider yourself to be a musical talent, you could even head to an open mic night. Here you can show off your vocals or guitar skills. You never know, it could be the beginning of your music career.
Celebrate with the community
One thing that Liverpool is known for is its sense of community, which can be seen throughout the city. Just this month, the city came together to celebrate Liverpool Football Club’s Champions League homecoming. This brought together more than 750,000 fans on Liverpool’s streets. When visiting, you can experience a sense of community and live like a local in Liverpool by attending events like the Celebrating Bold Street party. This includes entertainment such as street performers and musicians, which can be enjoyed while chowing down on some of the best food that Bold Street has to offer. In previous years, this has been a great success and is also the perfect way to promote some of the best independent establishments in Liverpool. Earlier in the year, the city took part in Celebrating Castle Street, along with Food and Drink Week, which includes everything from great discounts to masterclasses and more from reputable restaurants like Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse and the Alchemist.
