Anfield Stadium Tour and Liverpool FC Museum

Anfield Stadium is the home of Liverpool Football Club on Anfield Road in the Anfield district of north Liverpool, England. The Stadium Tour and the Liverpool FC Museum together form one of the city's most visited attractions for football fans and curious travellers alike. Guided tours usually run daily on non-matchdays, taking visitors through the players' tunnel with its famous This Is Anfield sign, the home dressing room, the press room and pitch side, and the Kop, the stand known worldwide for its singing. Guides describe the club's history, from its foundation in 1892 and the era of Bill Shankly, to the modern stadium developments. The museum holds a trophy room with European Cups and league titles, shirts, photographs and archive film, along with interactive displays on legendary players and managers. Allow around two to three hours for the whole experience. The tour is the highlight for most visitors, but the museum alone can also be bought. Tickets cost roughly GBP 25 for adults and about GBP 16 for children, with family and concession options; online booking is advisable, especially at weekends and in school holidays. Matchdays and some preceding days restrict tours, so check the schedule. Early morning tours are quieter and give cleaner photographs of the empty stands. Photography is allowed in most areas for personal use. The club shop sits beside the stadium, and a cafe is available at the museum. From the city centre, bus 917 and other services run to Anfield from Queen Square or Liverpool ONE bus station in about twenty minutes. Walking from the city is not practical, and taxis are common after matches. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, since the tour involves stairs and standing.
