The summer holidays are over and, while it may feel like the year has only just begun, we are now entering the final few months of 2024.
Nearing the end of a year can feel pretty daunting, as many of us will realise we may not have done all of the things we set out to do. So, to help you decide how to spend the final couple of weeks of summer, and the autumn and winter months, we have created a ‘bucket list’ of things to see and do in Liverpool.
From an attraction that allows you to see the world upside down and a unique land and water exploration, to a secret underground war bunker, Liverpool is jam-packed full of unique activities and monuments that you won’t want to miss.
We’ve checked our calendars to see what exciting events are coming up, as well as a creating a list of all of the key attractions, bars, restaurants and cafes that you need to visit before we say goodbye to 2024.
Take a look at our top 20 suggestions below and let us know what you’d suggest by leaving a comment.
