Make a day of Friday in Liverpool — waterfront views, culture, and a proper music buzz. Start at the Royal Albert Dock for indie shops and cafés, then choose your fix: Tate Liverpool for modern art, the Maritime Museum for seafaring stories, or The Beatles Story to walk through Fab Four history. Stroll the Pier Head for photos of the Three Graces and the Liver Birds, or hop a short ferry ride for sweeping skyline views across the Mersey.

After lunch, wander the Cavern Quarter (Mathew Street) for live music from midday, browse bold street art around the Baltic Triangle, or dip into the World Museum and the Walker Art Gallery near St George’s Hall. Wrap up with coffee on Bold Street or a cheeky pre-weekend pint — Liverpool really does Fridays with unmistakable style.
