Date spot in Liverpool

Royal Albert Dock and the waterfront

Walk the colonnades of the Royal Albert Dock's red-brick warehouses, then carry on along the river to the Pier Head and the Three Graces, calling in at the free Museum of Liverpool on the way.

Why it's a good date: It's the Liverpool everyone pictures, and it's lovely as the sun goes down over the Mersey. If it rains, duck into the Museum of Liverpool or the Maritime Museum, both free.

    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.

  • The round Picton Reading Room, with shelves of books curving round the walls under a pale domed ceiling and a central skylight

    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.
