Culture
A stroll around the UNESCO-listed waterfront will take up a morning and probably fill your camera's memory card. The Three Graces, Albert Dock and Pier Head are as iconic as they are dramatic, and delving into their history in the city's museums is an enlightening (and free) experience.
Liverpool's commitment to art, both high and popular, is without question. The Walker Art Gallery boasts Rubens, Rembrandts and Poussins, while the countless smaller spaces, draw influence from all around the world in this cosmopolitan city. Other museums, such as The Tate, are packed with beautiful art for all tastes.
The International Slavery Museum is one not to miss. You are taken on a thought-provoking journey as you move through the museum. It is located in Liverpool’s Albert Dock, where 18th century slave trading ships stood, and a short walk from the Steam Packet ferry. Simply hop off the ferry and start your historical adventure into the history of Liverpool.
THE BEATLES
Liverpool is proud to be the birthplace of one of the greatest bands in history, The Beatles. The city provides tours and attractions dedicated to John, Paul, George and Ringo that won’t disappoint fans. You can visit the world famous Cavern Club where the Beatles often played in the 1960’s, or even wander down the famous Penny Lane, walking in the footsteps of the British legends.
SPORT
Mention the name Liverpool to almost anyone, anywhere in the world, and their almost instant reaction will be football. The Northwest is a hotbed of footballing success, with several Premiership clubs; the homes of two of them, Everton and Liverpool, are just minutes from Liverpool City Centre. Take a tour and walk in the footsteps of your favourite footballers.
The Crabbie’s Grand National, held at the world-famous Aintree Racecourse, is the world's most-watched sporting event, with an annual audience of 600 million.
