Affordable Summer Stays in Liverpool: Why Prospect Point is Perfect for Your Visit 

Back

Whether you’re a Beatles devotee, a culture vulture, or simply looking to soak up a unique northern vibe, Liverpool is brimming with energy, charm, and surprises. Here, you can wander through world-class museums, trace the footsteps of the biggest band in history, and soak up the nightlife that is a perfect mix of grit and glamour. 

If you’re heading to the city this summer, perhaps to explore your new university city, for a summer internship, or just for a staycation, here’s a look at some of the best things to fill your time:  

Out and About 

  • You can happily while away the hours at the Royal Albert Dock. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the most-visited free tourist spot in the North West of England, offering a mix of shopping, dining, a range of museums, outdoor artwork and cute selfie spots. Soak up the waterfront views, and head there on a glorious summer’s day to be treated by the most stunning sunset in the city. 
  • You simply can’t go to Liverpool without doing at least one Beatles-related activity. Why not make it a Beatles sightseeing walking tour, where you’ll get to learn more about the Fab Four while also taking in some of the city’s most iconic spots? If you weren’t a Beatles fan before, you certainly will be after this! 
  • The Liverpool skyline is arguably one of the best in the UK, and what better way to see it than from the water? The Mersey Ferry is a hop on/hop off sightseeing cruise and is the perfect activity to do in summer. 
  • If you’re hankering after some greenery, there are 250 glorious acres of it at Sefton Park. This Grade I-listed park has a boating lake, a Victorian Palm House, hidden caves and waterfalls, and makes for a brilliant lazy day in the sun. 

History, Culture & the Arts

  • The Beatles Story is the world’s biggest exhibition dedicated to telling the story of the band’s meteoric rise to fame. An award-winning immersive experience, it gives a glimpse into what life was like in the swinging ’60s, and you’ll leave with more Beatles trivia than you know what to do with. 
  • The Museum of Liverpool and the Merseyside Maritime Museum are both located at the Royal Albert Dock (along with the Beatles Story) and offer fascinating insights into the city’s past. Both offer hands-on exhibitions that are fun for all the family… and the best part? Both are also completely free to visit.  
  • Also free admission, the Tate Liverpool is the UK’s largest modern art gallery outside London. This summer, you’ll find it temporarily homed at RIBA North while its usual spot on the Dock undergoes renovation. 
  • It’s worth a trip 8 miles out of the city to visit the Shakespeare North Playhouse, a state-of-the-art theatre and the only historically accurate recreation of an Elizabethan theatre in the UK. If you’re visiting in the summer then you’re there at the perfect time, because you can book a show in the outdoor Performance Garden. 

Entertainment 

  • If you’re not quite Beatles’d out yet, then the Cavern Club calls. The most famous club in the world has performances every evening in summer, and the area around it is brimming with pubs and live music, so you’re in the right spot to make a night of it. 
  • FACT Liverpool is a creative hub offering free digital art exhibitions, a place to watch the latest releases and arthouse films at Picturehouse, and also hosts quizzes and acoustic nights, too. 
  • Pins Social Club has something for everyone, with live music, DJs, bowling, ping pong and shuffle boards. A massive roof terrace makes it the perfect spot to head to when the sun’s shining. 

By now, you’ll be ready to book your trip to Liverpool! Located just a 15-minute walk from the city centre, Prospect Point offers the perfect accommodation solution for summer visitors.

At a fraction of the cost of city hotels, visitors to Prospect Point can enjoy spacious en-suites and beautifully designed studio apartments, with everything the city has to offer just a short stroll away.

Social spaces with TVs and board games provide the opportunity to meet like-minded visitors, and an out-of-hours security team and CCTV for extra peace of mind are the cherry on top of the cake.

Why wait? Book your summer stay here.
