Tate Liverpool, the Museum of Liverpool and the Walker Art Gallery are all free. The Royal Albert Dock, Pier Head and the Museum of Liverpool sit in one continuous waterfront walk. The Baltic Triangle is where the independent bars, street food and live music have moved to. The Mersey Ferry doubles as transport and the best skyline view, and runs year round. ## Local knowledge Contributed by guides, operators and creators on the ground. Community advice, kept separate from official sources. Ferry cross the Mersey, properly Take the commuter ferry, not the tour boat. Same crossing, better price and the skyline hits the same either way. Local guide Cathedral tower at dusk The tower at Liverpool Cathedral is the highest point in the city and almost always quiet an hour before closing.
