Pack your running shoes, an empty memory card for your camera and hit the streets of Liverpool. It’s a walking city and there’s plenty to see. From world class attractions, shopping and sport to legendary music and nightlife, the Liverpool city region is bursting with the widest choice of things to do.
Think Liverpool, think The Beatles! – The city is officially the world’s capital of Pop, and the Fab Four, of course, its most famous offspring. There are plenty of Beatles attractions across the city, but don`t forget to pay a visit to The Cavern Club, the place where The Beatles musical identity was formed.
Derby Square – home to the imperious Queen Victoria Monument, is also the former site of Liverpool Castle. Unlike much of the surrounding area, this great bronze escaped the German bombs.
Fascinating Architecture – ranging from medieval Liverpool, Baroque masonries to The Chambers’ revolutionary build, there is certainly a lot to discover.
Eating Out – with every kind of restaurant, from fine dining to street food, but we recommend Camp and Furnace located at The Baltic Triangle. Just named by The Times newspaper as one of the 20 Coolest Places to eat In the UK.
Theatre Culture – Williamson Square is home to the Liverpool Playhouse which, along with its sister, the Everyman, puts on a solid programme of new and touring theatre. Round the corner is the Royal Court Theatre, an Art Deco music hall whose homegrown comedy nights are extremely popular.
