How to spend less

  • Tate Liverpool, Museum of Liverpool and World Museum are all free for general admission
  • Royal Albert Dock itself costs nothing to walk and is one of the city's best sights regardless
  • Stadium tours are cheaper and far easier to book than actual match tickets if football history is the draw rather than a live game
  • Daytime visits to the Cavern Club are typically cheaper than evening live-music sessions with a cover charge
  • Liverpool's food and drink prices sit well below London's and roughly in line with Manchester's for comparable quality
