What to see in Liverpool

Must-sees

Liverpool is the city of the Beatles. The Beatles Story museum, at the Albert Dock, tells their story, and the Cavern Club on Mathew Street still has live music. You can also visit the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

The waterfront, with the Three Graces buildings and the Albert Dock, brings together Tate Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum, all free. The city has two huge cathedrals, one Anglican and one Catholic, linked by Hope Street. And football has its temples at Anfield and Goodison Park.

Free tours and guided visits

Liverpool has guided Beatles tours on foot or by bus, passing Penny Lane and Strawberry Field, and stadium tours of Liverpool and Everton. There are also Mersey ferry cruises and excursions to Chester and North Wales.

How long to spend

Two days cover the Beatles, the waterfront, the cathedrals and a match or an Anfield tour. If you want to visit Chester or the Welsh coast, add a third.

Where to stay

The Albert Dock and the city centre are the most practical, with everything on foot. Ropewalks and the Georgian Quarter have hotels with more character and restaurants nearby. On match days and during festivals, book ahead.
