Anfield Stadium
Best time to visit
Visit on a match day for the full atmospheric experience, but book a stadium tour on non-match days for better access to the dressing rooms and pitchside. Weekday morning tours (10:00-11:00) are quietest with smaller groups.
Budget tips
Standard stadium tours cost £27 for adults and £18 for children (2024 prices), with discounts for students and seniors. The Liverpool City Explorer pass includes a 10% discount on tour tickets, and booking online in advance saves you 10% compared to gate prices.

About
Quick facts: Home to Liverpool Football Club since 1892, the stadium's famous Kop stand holds over 12,000 passionate fans and is known for creating an intimidating wall of sound. The stadium has expanded significantly in recent years, with the Main Stand addition in 2016 increasing capacity to over 61,000 and making it one of the largest all-seater stadiums in English football.
Highlights: Before each match, the entire stadium shakes as fans belt out "You'll Never Walk Alone" with such force that the decibel levels rival a jet engine at takeoff. The acoustics of the enclosed Kop end trap and amplify the sound, creating a physical vibration you can feel in your chest from anywhere in the ground.
Insider tips
- Visit the Hillsborough Memorial outside the stadium before your tour, as it's more meaningful before you see the club's tribute inside.
- Sit in row 88 of the Kop stand during the tour to experience the steepest, highest seat in the stadium.
- Book the Legends Tour (about £65) if you want access to the manager's office and boardroom, areas the standard tour skips.
- Arrive 20 minutes early to explore the Liverpool FC museum exhibits before your tour begins, as the tour structure loops back to the museum exit.
