How to visit Liverpool Anfield Stadium

Liverpool Anfield Stadium is more than a landmark, it's a journey through football heritage and local pride. Between the museum, interactive exhibits, and behind-the-scenes tours, there’s a lot to explore. Booking ahead and planning your route helps you experience Anfield’s legacy in full, not just in passing.

Navigating your way

Though compact, Anfield’s multi-level layout and separate access points can feel confusing at first, especially on busy tour days. With a little planning, it’s easy to find your way and see every highlight without backtracking.

Entrances:

  • Main Stand Entrance (Anfield Road) – Primary access point for all Stadium and Museum Tours.
  • Kop Entrance (when open) – Occasionally used for special events or direct museum access.

Flow:

Start at the Main Stand → Player Areas (Dressing Rooms, Press Room) → Tunnel Walk → Pitchside → The Kop Stand → Liverpool FC Story Museum

Optional add-ons:

For a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, pair your stadium tour with the Anfield roof abseil experience. Step onto the rooftop of the Main Stand, enjoy panoramic views over Liverpool and the pitch below, then descend 100 feet down the stadium’s exterior; seeing Anfield from a whole new angle.

  • Arrive 15–20 minutes early: Tours depart promptly, and entry after the safety briefing isn’t always allowed.
  • Plan carefully: Tours don’t run on home match days or the afternoon before, check the fixture list when planning.
  • Layer up: Parts of the route (like the pitchside and roof areas) are exposed to the wind, bring an extra layer even in summer.
  • Travel light: Only small bags are permitted; there’s no cloakroom or locker storage on site.
  • Photos allowed, but not everywhere: Most areas welcome photos, but filming or using tripods is restricted. Ask your guide before shooting in player zones.

Best time to visit

Weekday vs weekend

Weekdays are generally quieter, making it easier to enjoy the tour and museum at your own pace. Weekends, especially match days, are busier and more atmospheric but require advance booking and patience with crowds.

Peak season vs low season

Peak season runs from late spring to early autumn, with higher visitor numbers and more frequent matches. Low season (late autumn to early spring) sees fewer crowds, but tours may be limited due to weather or fixture congestion. For the best experience, visit on a weekday morning outside of match days.
