Get to know
Liverpool, England, where the
River Mersey meets the
Irish Sea. This charming city is filled with maritime history, Beatlemania, and places of worship.
Begin your
English adventures at the
Three Graces, which include the
Royal Liver Building,
Cunard Building, and
Port of Liverpool Building. These iconic and architecturally magnificent structures sit in
Pier Head, overlooking the River Mersey.
View the buildings in all their glory at the nearby
Museum of Liverpool. Then head to U-Boat
Story to explore a previously sunken
German submarine, followed by a trip to the
Merseyside Maritime Museum, where you’ll learn boatloads of information about ships of the past, from the
Titanic to the
Lusitania.
As long as you’re in
Liverpool, explore the fabulous four’s old stomping grounds.
The Beatles played more than
300 gigs at
Cavern Club, while the
Casbah Coffee Club is where Beatlemania took off. To learn more about the epic band, roam around the memorabilia exhibits at
The Beatles Story, a museum where you can marvel at
John Lennon’s glasses and
George Harrison’s first guitar. What’s more, you can visit the grave of
Eleanor Rigby—who inspired the famous song—along with the bandstand that prompted the “
Sergeant Peppers”
album.
Still looking for more adventures? Dabble in the city’s religious side and check out the Anglican
Cathedral. It was engineered by a 22-year-old architecture student who won a design contest.
Afterwards, visit the
Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, known as “
Paddy’s Wigwam,” which exudes the free spirt and charm of the
1960s. Both of these structures boast magnificent designs and are considered architectural splendors.
There’s much more to Liverpool, though. Its football fans are die-hard, while the estates, such as
Sudley House and
Croxteth Hall, are historical treasures. However you decide to spend your adventures in this English town, check out our Liverpool travel guide for more tips and recommendations.
