3. Anfield Stadium

For many locals, this historic stadium is the most important structure in the city.

Those lucky enough to get tickets to a match at the stadium will experience the vigor with which the Brits support their clubs. Visit on a quiet day to discover the history of the stadium and the Liverpool Football Club at the museum.
