Directly north of the stadium lies Stanley Park, which serves as a natural boundary between the city's two major rivals – Liverpool and Everton. A stadium where you are never alone Anfield is a truly iconic stadium, and the atmosphere in the stands is incomparable – not only because of the legendary anthem „You'll Never Walk Alone“ that fans sing passionately before every game, but also because of the traditional chants that define the heart and history of Liverpool. „The atmosphere was sometimes so deafening that we could hardly hear each other on the pitch“, recalls former Liverpool player Martin Škrtel.

The two remaining stands are the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, the oldest stand in the stadium, which offers good visibility and has roughly the same capacity as the Kop Stand, and the Anfield Road End, which has a capacity of 17,203 fans. For the 2023/2024 season, the stands were expanded by 7,000 seats, bringing the stadium's total capacity to 60,725 spectators in spring 2024.

As part of the stadium tour, you will have the opportunity to enter the home team's locker room and the players' tunnel. When Everton and stadium owner John Houlding raised the rent, the club and its players moved out.
