Liverpool Football Club’s iconic Anfield Stadium is less than a mile from city rivals Everton’s Goodison Park. The stadiums are home to two of the most famous teams in world football – not just in the English league.
Liverpool are 19-times English League/Premier League winners and have claimed six European Cup/Champions League trophies along with a host of other pieces of silverware. The Anfielders are one of the world’s most popular clubs with millions of supporters scattered around the globe.
Not to be outdone, Everton have won nine top-flight English titles along with five FA Cups. Although they have not seen the success that Liverpool have achieved, Everton are still a legendary club that is supported all over the world.
A trip to Merseyside shouldn’t be without a visit to the homes of Liverpool FC and Everton. A Liverpool football tour should be experienced by all fans of the club – and even non-fans. With the stadiums so close in proximity, an Everton football tour can be completed in the same day. So, what are you waiting for? Take a trip to Liverpool and experience two of the cathedrals of English football.
The Liverpool football tour of Anfield is an incredible experience. You don’t need to be a die-hard Red to enjoy a trip to the ground. Anfield was built in 1884 and despite undergoing renovations over the decades, it remains true to its original form. Compared to some of the other major clubs around Europe, Anfield is small in size, although current owners Fenway Sports Group have expanded the ground.
You may not know it, but the stadium was originally the home of Everton before a dispute over money forced the club out and spawned the formation of Liverpool Football Club.
A trip to Anfield gives you the chance to explore the iconic ground from multiple levels. You can even enjoy a cold beer midway through the tour and sit in some of the old chairs that used to be located in the stadium. Along with a Liverpool football tour of the stadium that takes you through the home dressing room, players’ lounge, press conference room, and down the tunnel, you have the opportunity to snap photos with the Premier League trophy and/or Champions League cup in the museum. A trip to Anfield is truly memorable for all football fans.

On a trip to Anfield, you will experience epic views of the ground’s pitch. From high atop the stadium’s main stand, you will also enjoy great views of the city landscape. The tour will take you to the state-of-the-art home and away team dressing rooms where Liverpool player shirts are hung.
The Press Room gives you the chance to do your best Jurgen Klopp impression. Before walking onto the pitch and sitting in Klopp’s seat – which he rarely sits in – you have the opportunity to touch the famous ‘This Is Anfield’ sign as you walk down the tunnel.
