A city of music, football and maritime architecture
Liverpool is a vibrant waterfront city located on the northwest coast of England, near the border with Wales. It is best-known as the birthplace of the Beatles and the home of famous football teams, yet it is so much more.
Yes, when you visit you can expect to learn more about the musical legacy of the Beatles. Or you could catch a fixture of the ‘English game’. But you’ll also be in for plenty of cultural experiences for a dynamic city break.
Did you know that Liverpool has more museums and galleries than any other British city outside London? Pick from the Tate Liverpool, the Maritime Museum, the World Museum and so much more.
If you’re a fan of John, Paul, George and Ringo, then visit The Beatles Story, the world’s largest permanent exhibit on the Beatles. Go for a gig at Cavern Club or enjoy a guided tour of Strawberry Field.
Liverpool’s waterfront stands witness to the maritime past of the city. Spend some time at the Royal Albert Dock to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the docks. Today, it’s a leisure complex with galleries and riverside dining.
Another way to take in the skyline of the city and appreciate its connection to the sea is to hop on a ferry across the Mersey. You could also pay your respects at the Titanic Memorial.
Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter is another spot to visit to take in the historic past of the city. Here you could visit the Liverpool Cathedral that sits amidst the St James Mount and Gardens.
All in all, Liverpool makes for a lively city stay and you’ll be spoiled with choice when it comes to sightseeing and nightlife events.
