Liverpool play soccer in the Premier League, England's top tier. They are officially the most successful club in the country, having won 50 major trophies including 6 European Cups and 19 domestic league titles. Their fans are famous for the atmosphere they create at the iconic Anfield stadium (capacity 61,000) and their anthem of "You'll Never Walk Alone". The Anfield Stadium Tour is very popular for people visiting the city. While the rivalry with nearby Everton is intense (though famously friendly), it is the rivalry with Manchester United that is taken most seriously by the fans. Liverpool women play in the Women's Super League, their top tier, but their home ground is Prenton Park in Birkenhead shared with Tranmere Rovers.
Anfield is a football stadium in the area of Anfield, Liverpool, England, which has been the home of Liverpool Football Club since their formation in 1892. The stadium has a seating capacity of 61,276, making it the fifth-largest football stadium in England. It was originally the home of Everton from 1884 to 1891 before they moved to Goodison Park after a dispute with Anfield owner and club president John Houlding, leading Houlding to form Liverpool F.C.

They play in the Women's Super League, their top tier. Goodison Park (capacity 40,000) was home to the men's team from 1892 to 2025, and the original plan was to demolish it once the new stadium opened. But the owners see a big future for the women's game and are prepared to forego the sale price to give this team a big central stadium.
A nice neoclassical building opened in 1871, which forms an ensemble with the Central Library.
This is another fine building, boasting a beautiful circular reading room.
This is a fine building and well worth a visit. It contains an excellent collection of British rocketry exhibits, as well as the best Egyptological collection outside London.
In the early 1800s, a Liverpool tobacco merchant, Joseph Williamson, funded the construction of an enormous labyrinth of tunnels under the Edge Hill area of Liverpool. Nobody knows his reasons for doing so though many guess it as an act of philanthropy, using his wealth to provide jobs and training for thousands of Liverpool workers. There is also a Williamson's Tunnels Heritage Centre.
The University of Liverpool's museum comprising their art collection and artefacts housed in an amazing Gothic building which coined the term 'red brick university'.
