Love visiting the cathedral. Free, just a donation if you can. Such a vast space, yet warm and welcoming. Beautiful. Spacious. Easy to walk around. Great floors for those with sight or mobility challenges. You can sit and take it all in for hours. Could not go up tower on Sunday afternoon due to bell ringing practice taking place. The whispering arch was a fun moment ! Will go again at Christmas for the light display. It's stunning. Great cafe, shop and very dog friendly. Make sure you visit!

My mind is pretty blown to be honest. I’ve stood in St. Peter’s in Rome and it did not have the endless Vastness of this Cathedral. It is a builders wonder, SO many intricate details in the Queens Chapel! So much history and a grandeur unheard of from common masons and stonecutters. Terrific restaurant on site with delicious delectables and the staff… wow, they were amazing, informative and eloquent. True servants of God and mankind. Very sweet and knowledgeable. The bookstore has affordable gifts for the whole family. This Cathedral is well Worth your time and a generous donation.

An absolute must visit if you are in Liverpool. It is a magnificent building inside and not as old as it appears. Some fantastic stained glass windows and architecture inside to explore. Helpful volunteers on hand to help you, and there is a guide book avadible in the shop to give a bit more information on the cathedral. The climb to the top of the tower includes a few steps but is mostly by lift, and at the top, the view gives an unlimited view of the city and surrounding area. When you get back down there is a cafe and small shop or you can wonder around again!

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen! It has an impressive size and architectural.

It is a very peaceful place. Excellent for spending time and connecting with God and having good energy.

When we were there, the cathedral choir was singing. It was a beautiful presentation!

What an amazing building this is! The scale is epic and the stained glass is incredibly detailed and skillfully crafted. Be sure to take a stroll in the lovely cemetery behind. Properly iconic and yet somehow cool and understated. Wow!

Liverpool Cathedral is an awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece. Its grandeur and magnificence leave an indelible impression on visitors. The sheer scale of the cathedral, both inside and out, is nothing short of breathtaking. Stepping inside, the cathedral's vast interior evokes a sense of reverence and wonder. The stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of colors, adding to the spiritual atmosphere.
Exploring the cathedral's chapels and chapels-in-the-round is a journey through history and faith. Each section tells its own story, making it a place of both architectural and spiritual significance.
The cathedral also offers stunning views of Liverpool from its tower.
It's not just a place of worship but a testament to human creativity and devotion, making it a must-visit for anyone in Liverpool.

Beautiful and awe-inspiring cathedral, both inside and outside. More of a tourist attraction than a place of worship - the cafe sits partly inside the main bit of the cathedral with chairs and tables just behind where congregation sits!

But making it an attraction means it's very inclusive which I loved. They had some art/exhibitions around the theme of unity which was moving. Some interactive. And the tower experience is well worth the money of the ticket provided you aren't scared of heights or have mobility issues. Beautiful views across the city on a clear day like we had.

An amazing building from the architectural and spiritual viewpoints.
Its size is awesome. Although it's not the largest cathedral in the UK it apparently is the longest.
The stained glass windows and other features inside are quite incredible. As well as performing marriage ceremonies the actual reception and meal can be held here and on our visit the dining tables were on view.
Well worth a visit.
