Book a timed slot
Tours run on a schedule and sell out on weekends—reserve your 70-minute slot in advance to avoid disappointment.
Be stair-ready
There are 124 steps above the 10th floor; wear stable shoes and take your time on narrow staircases.
Mind the AV sequence
The clock-face audiovisual uses lights and wind—those sensitive to strobe effects or strong drafts should skip the room.
Arrive by public transport
Pier Head is well served by trains and buses; nearby parking is limited—use public transit where possible.
Comfortable walking shoes
Good grip and support help on internal staircases and wet external platforms.
Light windproof jacket
Mersey winds make the rooftop feel colder than ground level, even in spring.
