What's Included in the Liverpool Stadium Tour?
A quick, complete answer to what the standard Anfield ticket actually covers, from the tunnel and pitchside to the museum, and the handful of things it does not.
What's included in the Liverpool stadium tour?
The standard ticket includes a guided walk through the players' tunnel, out pitchside to the home dugout, into both the home and away dressing rooms and the press room, up into the Kop, and past the trophy cabinet, followed by self-paced entry to the museum. It runs 60 to 70 minutes, plus museum time.
In other words, one ticket buys the behind-the-scenes route and the club's history in a single visit. A guide, typically a local and a lifelong supporter, leads the stadium portion and shares the stories at each stop. The museum, The Liverpool FC Story, is included and self-paced, so you can explore it before or after the guided walk. The team behind the Liverpool Stadium Tour set out below exactly what each part covers, and what sits outside the ticket.
What areas do you visit inside the stadium?
The guided route covers the tunnel, pitchside and the home dugout, both dressing rooms, the press room, the Kop and the trophy room. These are the spaces normally closed to the public, and a guide takes you through them in sequence, with the "This Is Anfield" sign above the tunnel exit as the moment most visitors remember.
The order runs roughly as a single arc, from the tunnel out to the pitch and back through the rooms beneath the Main Stand. The table below is the area-by-area version, which is the part people screenshot before they go.
| Area | What is included |
|---|---|
| Players' tunnel | Walk the tunnel and touch the "This Is Anfield" sign that Shankly installed in 1974 |
| Pitchside and dugout | Step out to the edge of the pitch and sit in the home dugout for photos |
| Home dressing room | Laid out as it would be on a match day, with shirts at each numbered seat |
| Away dressing room | Deliberately smaller and less comfortable, a long-standing tradition |
| Press room | Sit where managers face the media after matches |
| The Kop | Stand in the famous home terrace and look down the length of the pitch |
| Trophy room | The club's silverware, displayed chronologically |
If you want the detail on the pitch-side access specifically, whether you really go onto the pitch and into both dressing rooms, our companion piece on going pitchside and seeing the dressing rooms drills into that stop by stop.
Is the museum included in the ticket?
Yes. Entry to The Liverpool FC Story museum comes bundled with the standard tour ticket, at no extra cost. It is self-paced, so you explore it before or after the guided walk. Allow 30 to 45 minutes on top of the tour, which puts a full Anfield visit at around two hours for most people.
The museum carries the club's history from its 1892 founding to the current era: memorabilia, interactive stations, the story of the Kop and the anthem, and the trophy cabinet as the finish. The stadium and its museum sit among the city's headline attractions, as Visit Liverpool lists them. Because it is included and self-guided, the museum is the flexible part of the day.

What is not included in the standard tour?
Food and drink, the Legends tour, and some premium photo experiences sit outside the standard ticket. There are cafes on site, but they are not part of the price. The Legends tour, hosted by a former player, is a separate and more expensive booking. And professional photography gear such as tripods is generally not allowed.
The standard tour is generous on access, so the exclusions are mostly upgrades and extras rather than gaps. The table below keeps them straight, so there are no surprises at the Tour Centre.
| Not included | Detail |
|---|---|
| Food and drink | On-site cafes are available but are not part of the tour price |
| The Legends tour | A separate, higher-priced booking with a former player and a smaller group |
| Some premium photo experiences | Certain posed photos with the trophies or pitch may be offered as extras |
| Tripods and pro camera gear | Generally not allowed without prior permission; personal photos are fine |
Personal photography is allowed across almost the whole tour, including the dressing rooms, tunnel and pitchside, so you leave with the shots that matter. If you are deciding between the standard tour and an upgrade, our guide to which Anfield tour is right for you compares the options, and the value question is answered in is the Anfield stadium tour worth it. Prices move with season and demand, so check the live listing for today's price before you book; the standard adult ticket sits at around GBP 26 with the museum included. The official Liverpool FC stadium tours page confirms current inclusions and any restricted dates.
A few parts of the ground are open to everyone, which is why we look at whether you can visit Anfield for free on its own page.
