Driving
There are free parking spaces around, but you need to be early. Newsham Park is generally free. If you would rather pay, there is parking at Anfield Sports & Community Centre on Lower Breck Road, on Belmont Road and on St Domingo Road, which costs between £5 and £10. Prices and availability vary by game, so check before you set off. See Getting There for the full routes.
Save money
You can bring a small sealed plastic bottle of water (500ml at most) instead of paying £3.00 for one inside. Food is generally cheaper outside the ground too, and some pubs with hot food or snacks charge less than the concourse. See What to Bring and the pub guide.
