Pier Head Ferry Terminal, waterfront

Why it's a good date: Stand on deck with the wind in your faces and the best view of Liverpool there is. Wrap up, even in summer, and go at the end of the day for the light.

    William Brown Street, city centre

    Central Library, William Brown Street, Liverpool L3 8EW

    Climb up through Central Library to the Picton Reading Room, a round Victorian reading room lined with books under a great domed ceiling.

    Why it's a good date: It's free and quiet, and you'll look straight up at the dome the first time you walk in. Pair it with the Walker Art Gallery next door for a whole afternoon on one street. Keep your voices down.

    St James' Mount, off Hope Street

    St James' Mount, Liverpool L1 7AZ

    Wander Britain's biggest cathedral, free to enter, then take the lifts and stairs up the tower, past the world's heaviest ring of bells, to the views from the top.

    Why it's a good date: The scale of the place takes your breath away, and so does the view across the city and the river. Pick a clear day for the tower, and check it's open before you go.
