Itinerary: 9Days/8 Nights England (Liverpool- London)

9th February 2025 No comments Article

Here is the itinerary for 9 Days in United Kingdom. Depending on what are your interest, the itinerary I had done include 3 nights in Liverpool, where being a huge Liverpool Football Club fan, it is no brainer that I should catch a live football match at Anfield stadium. If you are not a huge football fan of Liverpool, one can still visit this port city, full of museums and also playing a pivot role in maritime history. Fun fact: The Titanic ship was built in Liverpool, England, and was registered in the city.

The itinerary below in summary:

Upon arrival into London, take the high speed train towards Liverpool city. Stay for at least 2 nights to catch football match before making the road trip back from Liverpool to London. Along the way, spend a night in Birmingham, UK’s second largest city and the following night in a smaller town of Gloucester. After 3 days of road trip, taking in the sights of Chester, Cotswolds, Oxford, one will arrive into London. Spend at least 3 nights in London taking in the sight and sounds of this major cosmopolitical city.
