Safety
safeLiverpool city centre and tourist areas (Albert Dock, Mathew Street, Baltic Triangle, Liverpool ONE) are very safe. The city has significantly reduced crime over the last 20 years. Be aware of pickpockets in busy areas during major football match days (Anfield and Goodison Park matchdays bring large crowds). Keep valuables secure on Merseyrail trains during evening hours. Avoid Toxteth, Norris Green, and Kensington (outer residential estates) — no tourist reason to visit. Nightlife on Concert Square and Mathew Street is boisterous on weekends but rarely dangerous for tourists. Emergency: 999.
