    Great place to walk around and enjoy a stroll. There a nice mix of restaurants, places to enjoy a drink or shops to meander around. Also the Tate gallery is here which is free to go in and enjoy. At night the place is lit up with nice lights and this makes it ever more attractive to be in. Very peaceful at times to enjoy a drink facing the water. During the day you can see different water sports happening in the water in the way of body boards and alike.

    Located on Liverpool’s incredible World Heritage Site waterfront, the Albert Dock holds the title of being one of the most visited tourist attractions in the whole of the UK. It houses retail stores, museums, galleries and a huge range of venues to eat and drink. The dock complex was officially opened in 1846 by Albert, Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria and the man in honour of whom it was named. It was the first occasion in Liverpool's history in which a member of the Royal Family had made a state visit to the city. Plenty of parking space around.

    Amazing restoration of the Docks. It is now trendy and a delight to walk around this well preserved and restored area of Liverpool. Lots of bars and restaurants and other shops including the Beatles Museum. If you come here make sure you have at least 2 hours to walk around and enjoy the views of the river and other areas. Highly recommended.

    Lovely part of Liverpool to visit,one day enough to see everything. Lots of places to eat and drink,plenty of benches to sit if you need a rest. Plenty of parking but we visited on weekday so unsure what it's like at weekends. Interesting things to see n do eg Tate gallery, Maritime museum, Ferris Wheel. We'll worth a visit

    So first time in Liverpool and the Albert Docks was top of our list to visit. I live in Swansea marina so love to walk around docklands. Albert docks is packed with history, original features and a really pleasant place to walk. There’s loads of independent businesses located around the docks so there something for everyone. If I come to Liverpool again, I’d definitely come here again.

    Remarkable mix of historic charm and contemporary life. Its Victorian warehouses now host vibrant eateries, shops, and must-see museums like Tate Liverpool and The Beatles Story. The waterfront offers stunning Mersey views, ideal for a leisurely stroll or dining by the water. This place is not just about scenic beauty; it’s a cultural hub where history meets modern leisure, perfect for all ages. Don’t miss experiencing the lively yet relaxed atmosphere, and make sure to explore the local culinary delights. Royal Albert Dock is a testament to Liverpool’s rich past and dynamic present, making it an essential visit for anyone wanting to experience the heart of the city.

    Fantastic! After hearing so much about the revitalization of Liverpool's historic waterfront, I was keen to experience it for myself on a recent trip. From the moment we stepped into the Albert Dock area, I was struck by the charming blend of old and new. Wandering the cobbled streets among the restored warehouses and peering through archways at the moored ships. So easy to feel a sense of the dock's rich past. Lively cafes, galleries and boutiques - clear attraction for locals and visitors. Weather allowed only few street entertainers but these injected further energy through colorful performances. Whether soaking up maritime history at the museums, dining alfresco with panoramic views or simply absorbing the unique atmosphere, there seemed endless ways to pass the time. Public artworks and information panels helped bring the location's narrative to life. Meanwhile clean public facilities and the proximity to other attractions made exploring stress-free. I especially appreciated being able to seamlessly combine culture like the Tate Liverpool with leisure on the open-top sightseeing bus. By day's end, the area only came alive further as strings of outdoor rides and lights illuminated the waterfront path. Having easily filled an afternoon, I left keen to return in the future with better weather to sample more of the dining and nightlife options. This revitalized docklands quarter has clearly cemented its status as one top spots in Liverpool. For a taste of both heritage and vibrancy, I'd highly recommend adding the Albert Dock to your own itinerary.

    Loved this place. Very calm and soothing environment. You could take a walk alongside the river Mercy. Or you can also visit the Dock. The view from this place is very scenic and gives a very good background to take good pictures. This is a must visit place if you are visiting Liverpool. Walkable from the lime Street train station

    If you are in Liverpool and the weather is fair don't miss the dock. Renovated and beautifully desugned it is a great place to spend at, especially in the afternoon towards the evening time. There are some nice museums and restaurants and the a view of the sunset is certainly recommended from there.

    It's a beautiful place. One can sit and enjoy cup of coffee near dock or can hop on bus to enjoy city view. There is so much to do. Mary time and Liverpool Museum makes it special. There are nice restaurants and gift shops too.

    Nice place to walk around. Lots of history and museums related to music and history of Liverpool. I went in summer. The wind from the ocean can be cold even during summer. So pls take a Jack if you plan to visit on an average summer day. Lots of places offering food outlets. Liked the walk. If you download the app you can enjoy a guided tour. Enjoy the walk.

    Great waterfront. Easily accessible on foot from pedestrian area of Liverpool one. Parking available but limited. Great waterfront views and walks (or runs). Access to multiple excellent museums. Plenty of cafe, bars and street food stalls. There are long drops into deep water so need to manage small kids carefully.

  • 5/5 Dan E. 1 month ago on Google • 106 reviews New
    Had a great time walking around the old dock. Full of history and is now repurposed into a string of shops and dining venues. A great tourist attraction. The people of Liverpool are always friendly and have such great pride in their amazing city, with good reason.

  • 5/5 Greg “Wigan Wanderers” K. 1 month ago on Google • 96 reviews New
    The Royal Albert Yard is one of those places that you need to visit when in Liverpool. It's full of character, history, and enjoyable venues that make the yard one of those places that you never grow tired of. . It's a photography paradise if you love to take photos and you can always find something new and different to shoot. . The dock is situated close to all of the amazing buildings on the waterfront and is directly opposite the Liverpool One shopping mall. . The Albert Dock is incredible, no further words needed.

    What a place, historic, modern, traditional and diverse! We weren’t sure what to expect from Liverpool, this was the jewel in the crown for us Street performers, museums, architecture, ferries and street food! Only in Liverpool The carousel was a great touch!

  • 4/5 Margrit G. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Loved this place without a doubt. For any age, there is enough to do. From boat excursions to a spin around the giant wheel. Admire the charming shops, eateries, and pubs lining the dock. The museum is outstanding. We were at the docks day and night because we were in love with them. It's an absolute must-see in the evening. The location is breathtaking, and there is an amazing sky over the river. We most certainly plan to return soon.

  • 5/5 Kathleen L. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots to explore around the area. Olf and new statues. Grand buildings. Pop idols. Bracing walk. Museums. Perfect for a long weekend browse.

  • 5/5 Al B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great setting for food, drinks and a walk. Loads of options depending on your taste and a perfect place to watch the sun setting. Also spot on for SUP and kayaking. You can launch with Liverpool watersports in Queens Dock.

  • 5/5 Hkun Htoi L. 3 years ago on Google
    It was like normal day. The visitors should observe social distancing. Enjoy your visit, stay well and safe.

  • 5/5 Janice P. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alexandra 3 years ago on Google
    A wonderful location steeped in history and culture. A pleasure to take a stroll about the dock, with lots of wonderful eateries to try. Tate Liverpool is located here as is The Maritime Museum, both well worth a visit. Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Abir M. 3 years ago on Google
    Everytime I visit here it's always a great experience as we are always having a lovely time. Me and my misses came with my friend and his misses. They have loads of Kelly's Ice Cream Van's here, be sure to try them as this brand is Cornish and the Icecream is out of this world. Loads of decent restaurants and food places here. Whether you are coming with your partner or family it's an exciting place and the people around are also very decent and friendly.

  • 4/5 Mr D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was good here and the waiter was fun and easy to talk to. The prices of steak was incredibly expensive and I'm talking 50 quid for a plate. If you've got more money than sense then you can fork it out.

  • 5/5 sairaj j. 3 years ago on Google
    Royal Albert Docks is a must visit place in Liverpool. It was England's gateway to the world back in the day. The view from the place is amazing and you can grab a quick bite or spend some quality time with your friends at the hotels and shops. The lighting in the night adds the cherry top!

    Plenty to see with free museums and local cafes, bars & restaurants. Enjoy a stroll along the pier & see various boats docked or sailing through the locks. Bring your camera as the views across the historical mersey river are great! Liver buildings in walking distance. Hop on the liverpool tour bus or enter the Beetles project nearby. Ice cream, fairground rides, boutique shops & restaurants line the Albert Docks. Do your homework around the parking situation as the Q car park is quite expensive! Bumpy but accessible for wheelchairs & prams.

    Liverpool's wonderful waterfront is certainly well worth a visit, full of history everywhere you look, but at the same time blessed with striking modern buildings to make it feel very comfortable in being a 21st century city with great historical connections to the past.

    first time ever to liverpool but had to stop off at the famous Royal Albert Dock for lunch. great selection of gift stores for you Beatles and sweet fans. a hidden Harry potter gift store and a large selection of restaurants for most appetites lovely place!

  • 4/5 Shane P. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting place to visit and only a short walk from the cruise terminal if you've arrived via ship and weather was damp and you'll pass the museum on route. Plenty of little bespoke shops, cafes and coffee shops, a 30 minute cruise on a boat. Around the dock edge is also undercover.

  • 5/5 lyn b. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent stay in the Jurys Inn hotel. Lots of bars and restaurants in a short walking distance and plenty of buses to get around. M and S Arena opposite the hotel. Love the area.

  • 5/5 Ray B. 2 years ago on Google
    Star of the trip (apart from the Beatles sites). Excellent river front walks, visit pier head and take in the ferry, view the Liver Building from the outside and take a roof top tour.of course you always have the famous four statues right outside the museum of Liverpool. Another interesting place is the maritime and Slavery museum. Drink in all the old dock buildings and visit the Tate gallery.Wonderful place.

  • 5/5 Janette C. 2 years ago on Google
    The Dock is a brilliant place to visit. There are fantastic views across the water along with landmarks which commentate important figures and events. The museums and the Tate are situated here (the slavery museum being my number 1 place to go) alongside restaurants and bars with something for everyone. Sadly, the Dock recently lost it's heritage status, don't let this deter you though, it's an outstanding place to visit.

  • 4/5 Debbie B. 2 years ago on Google

    It is good to spend a good time there and if have to drive to get there make sure that you feed the parking 🚇 meter for a few hours to enjoy and have good experience of the place and enjoy a meal or two. You have Tate gallery the most beautiful museums the 🚍 bus and 🛥 boat trips the shops and seeing some shops of Liverpool that are walking distance from the docks.

  • 4/5 joken m. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely area to stroll around and visit. The area is mainly restaurants and bars but there is a few gift shops and the Tate museum too. Very busy at weekends and absolutely buzzing atmosphere. Can recommend Smugglers Cove restaurant as food here was lovely. Would also recommend booking tables in advance at restaurants as so many people being turned aways as restaurants full.

  • 5/5 Diana B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful old buildings. No where like it in the UK that I have ever seen. Most of the things around it are free to do and there is no lack of food and drinks. But of a pain with a wheelchair and the cobbles but it's not like they can dig up the historical streets. But you can get around most of it.

  • 5/5 Em L. 2 years ago on Google
    Fab place to have a wander around. Lots of eatery choices and took a lovely little boat ride on the "Princess". 30 minute round trip £7 for adults and takes card which is good.

  • 5/5 Magdalena P. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn't know what to expect but I absolutely fell in love with the way those historical dockyards have been transformed into this lively social and cultural hub , where everyone can find something to do, eat or drink (regardless of age, weather or interests) . I have been lucky enough to be there when the light installation lit up for the first time . Definitely will go back 👍

  • 5/5 Ali R. 2 years ago on Google
    Love it here at the Albert Dock. I really miss the Flyboarding at the Mersey River Festival and watching the 007 superhero training in Salthouse Dock like he did a few years ago. I remember him at the Craig Charles concert too in a fantastic light suit.... AMAZING.

  • 5/5 Rukhsana B. 2 years ago on Google
    A bustling place to visit alone or with kids. Many things to see and do. Visit a museum or The Tate. Remember to book tickets online for the gallery. Very energetic and lively. A great atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Russ G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing premier inn probably one of the best in the chain I have been to and iv tried a few. The building is stunningly situated in the albot docks area with good access to all the main things needed. The inside is very original and if you like the old metal beams and clean brick interior it's a must place to stay. Would love to give it 5 star but as most there is some down sides. The old floors are noisy so I got woken up just from people walking past our room and they weren't even talking, we didn't get offered parking so had to do the half mile walk with baby and suit cases.

  • 5/5 Isobel K. 2 years ago on Google
    Always something to see and do. New artworks turning up alongside the old ones continue to keep this place feeling fresh. Was very busy so if you're concerned about covid then stick to later times.

  • 4/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google

    Stunning place for a cheeky weekend away. Lots on offer. Various restaurants, museums (free!), shops, drinking venues and the Beatles story museum too. Great parking close by. Super atmosphere. Even had a lush hot chocolate on a bus! Statues and culture galore. A must see if you visit Liverpool for sure.

  • 5/5 Jane M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice area to stroll around. Nice coffee shops and different little craft shops and sweetie shop to visit. Nice clean toilets in Gallery. Visited on a wet, grey day but imagine it would be a lovely area to sit at in good weather.

  • 5/5 Claire G. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved visit here. Much to see. Plenty of snack vans to eat, all clean and unique, ie a double decker bus. Well worth a visit, recommend it. Plenty of seats, you can get food and sit and eat there. Icecreams etc. Lovely cobbled road, all old and inviting, gorgeous black old fashioned Street lights. Many interesting statues ships in dry Dock and much more. You can then continue left to walk alongside the Mersey if you wish. All of this costs nothing, except your refreshments. All of Liverpool just as good, but that's another review. Fantastic day out, will re-visit.

  • 4/5 Debbie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went with family plenty to see and do a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend just for a walk round.

  • 5/5 Kalle M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a very nice walk there. Lots of restaurants and cafes. The first restaurant left a very good impression of Liverpool. It was Lunyalita. Otherwise, there were shops with souvenirs and goods, still for tourists. The viewing continued for half a day, unfortunately I didn't go boating, but definitely next time.

  • 5/5 Koustabh D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Trevor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Found the Dock experience extremely interesting, so much to do and see, the history from when it was first formed in 1715 through to present day is amazing. There are many restaurants offering different cuisines, and both alcoholic, tea's, coffee's and soft drinks, rather expensive so beware. Best value was the "PUMPHOUSE" Green King eatery, value for money and many Cask Ales and flavoured Gin....

  • 5/5 Maureen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous walk, Lots of interesting quirky food outlets, Music buskers and a lovely well maintained children's hobby horse ride. Museums and houseboats a plenty. Also the start/end of the memorable City tours

  • 5/5 Jaroslava B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place To walk with family! Recommending rough dough bakery with affordable and delicious pastries and pizzas from 12pm. Parking costs £3 per hour which is not that bad. Average time spend is between 2-4 hours :)

  • 5/5 Steven “Oldyin56” R. 1 year ago on Google
    Photos from the Dolby Hotel. Staff there are brilliant, only gripe is the tiny shower. Not only couldn't you swing a cat, you'd have a problem fitting one in. Apart from that, great hotel and food is really good as well. Docks have been well upgraded and have plenty of restaurants, museums and activities. Walked along in the evening and it was really bustling with a good atmosphere. There are also diners on the quayside which are a double decker bus and an American school bus. Close to the Liverpool One shopping centre and about a 20 minute walk to Mathew Street. Highly recommended for a visit. Also took in the Magical Mystery Tour. 2 hour guided tour with stop offs for photo opportunities. Finishes just a short walk to The Cavern. Again, well worth doing.

  • 5/5 ammara j. 1 year ago on Google
    I think there is something for everyone at the docks. Very nice place to walk and enjoy the surrounding. The place is alive and happening with a great variety of restaurants, cafes museums, galleries, and shops I believe it would look lovely to see lights in the evening and enjoy dinner or drinks If you are in Liverpool don't miss the dock.

    I recently visited the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool and had a fantastic time! The place is lively and happening with a great variety of restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries, and shops. It's perfect for a nice walk and to enjoy the surrounding beauty. One of my favorite things about the dock was the variety of restaurants and cafes to choose from. They had something for every taste! The lights in the evening make the dock look lovely, and it's a great spot for dinner or drinks. If you're in Liverpool, I highly recommend visiting the Royal Albert Dock. It's a fun and vibrant place that's well worth a visit. The only thing that could make it better would be more information about the history of the dock.

    This is a great place to visit with family friends and loved ones. The views are amazing but make sure to take a jacket and scarf since it can be windy, aet and cold as you can see from the photos. All in all it was a wonderful day and can definitely recommend this to anyone who just want to chill and relax. There are diners and restaurants nearby I'd you have a bite or two. Thank you and have a great day 👍🌟

    Had a few hours to wander round the Albert Dock, so much to see and learn. Lots of history, quaint shops and eateries. The museum is there and other things to explore. Well worth a visit and could easily spend the day and evening. Loved my short visit and will be back.

    Had a wander round the dock and the shops, sat and had coffee and people watched for a while. The docks are nice clean and tidy with museums to visit including things like the Beatles museum. There's loads of locks on the railings the kids spent ages looking for the old ones.

    One of my favourite places in Liverpool for a short city stroll, some good restaurant and bars. There is something for everyone, from activities to culture, art and history museums. Occasional markets and events happening. It's the place you want to come back 🙂

    Absolutely loved walking around Albert Dock. Amazing little bars and restaurants, museums, architecture and maritime boats to see. Always something happening on the docks. Worth a visit just to see the three graces alone. Must visit when in Liverpool.

    Great place to walk around and soak up the sights. Plenty of free stuff with the museums and Tate, as well as cafes, shops and street food vans plus lots of photo opportunities for the 'Gram.

    Stayed for a week in Liverpool at the start of July and I grew to love this place. It’s such a good place to walk (or bike) around day or night. Only pain was the rental scooters (Voi) didn’t work in a lot of this area so I was left walking a scooter around like a right tart.

    Great restoration. Shops, cafes, restaurants and the Tate gallery. Everyone really friendly. Short walk to Mersey ferry and the Liver building and the city centre. Highly recommend for a 3-5 day city break.

    Lovely historical place of Liverpool. Many great old buildings mixed with modern. Many attractions from the ferris wheel to the Beatles experience. Lots of eating establishments, and little coffee stands etc...

    Really nice. Heseltine did a great job to be fair. Well worth a visit. Loads of tourists and they make the most of the Beatles. Looking forward to another visit. Pubs and restaurants galore. Enjoy

    My first and last visit was back in the 80's when some of the docks were still in operation. A real historical step back in time, with the added twist of new development! It is a very enjoyable day when the sun is shining.

    Absolutely loved this place. There are lots to do for all ages. From ferry rides to a ride on the big wheel. Nice little bars, restaurants and shops to browse around the dock. The museum is brilliant and taught my youngest so much, he enjoyed that. We loved the docks so much that we were there night and day. It’s a must visit for at night in the dark. The place is just beautiful or lit up and the sky over the river is amazing. We will definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you Liverpool. You were Amazing 😊

    Lovely 😍 Really well put together and refurbished. Nice shops and spoiled for choice on eateries. On a sunny day, it's a lovely stroll around the Mersey and taking in the various statues to commemorate Liverpool history. Also, you'll find various museums to visit (The Beatles Story, Maritime Museum, Railway Museum...)

    Gut besuchtes Hafengebiet- sehr anspruchsvolle Geschäft - atemberaubende Eindrücke und die wohl längste "Schlosskette" die ich je gesehen habe - ein Team ( locker 5 Mann) mit einem Boot haben im Hafenbecken Müll abgefischt- tolle Idee jedoch haben nur 2 Mann "gefischt" und einer ist gefahren es ist allerdings soviel Müll zurück gelassen worden das ich diesen Einsatz nicht verstehen kann - sah erstmal gut aus aber.....?!!! Hätte man dann auch sein lassen können -sehr schade

    Beautifully restored historic dock complex with hotels, shopping, restaurants & museums. Vibrant and stunning. And incredible area to spend a day or a weekend.

    Easy to find, very well signposted as you approach the city. A good variety of eating options. See the Beatles Story here.

    Visited Albert dock and Liverpool Christmas Market, beautiful place, clean, tidy and picturesque, would definitely go again, only hang up is the market gets super busy come evening and becomes a bit of a bottle neck with people moving around, could probably space the huts out a bit better and make it easier to walk around

    What a great city to visit. What's not to like about Liverpool. History,culture, music,football, industry, but especially the people. Warm and helpful.

  • 5/5 Gayathri N. 3 months ago on Google New
    Lovely riverside walk with some amazing city views. The Beatles status, Liver building, Mercy river, lively place with loads of people and pubs. Great walk (except on a terribly windy day). Can try the cruise trip too. Titanic replica is also on your way so don't miss it! Have a look on some of my clicks (sound on for video) to see how this busy place looks just after the Christmas! Not very crowded, just loved it!!!

    Always a beautiful time to visit the docks towards the end of the year. Missed the light festival this year but plenty of decor up to enjoy!

    Liverpool’s past and present dance by the Mersey at Albert Dock. The waterfront is a masterful blend of history and the present day. This is where Liverpool’s maritime might meets artisan lattes, where the grandeur of Victorian engineering is photo ready. By day, the water laps against the quayside like a gentle nudge to the past, but as dusk falls, the dock metamorphoses into Victorian grandeur illuminated anew with vibrancy and lively lights that dance on the Mersey’s waves. The Mersey’s once workaday ferries now waltz on waters reflecting the Dock’s lit-up legacy, a testament to Liverpool’s flair for lighting up the old with the new. Still World Class Heritage.

    I adored this area beyond measure. Activities abound for people of all ages. from big-wheel excursions to ferry journeys. Pleasant tiny eateries, stores, and bars to explore around the waterfront. The museum is excellent. We spent day and night at the docks because we were in love with them. It is a must-see in the evening when it gets darker. The location is breathtaking, and the sky over the river is breathtaking. Without a doubt, we'll be back soon.
