Once the stomping ground of The Beatles and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Liverpool does well to live up to its reputation for cultural excellence, spouting footballing greats, musical luminaries, poets and politicians to boot. What’s more, the locals are among the earthiest, funniest and friendliest in the United Kingdom, touting stout ales and a homely northern attitude to match.
When it comes to sightseeing and activities, this city has such a mishmash of various hotspots that it can be difficult to know precisely where to begin. Be sure to ask your Liverpool tourist guide for tips on the major musts; perhaps the Gothic Victoria Gallery, or the amazing Merseyside Maritime Museum on the docks. Then there are the glorious Victorian buildings of the downtown to see, and the terraces of Anfield Stadium to explore—echoing forever with the fervent choruses of You’ll Never Walk Alone.
After dark, Liverpool transforms once again, with clubs up and down Seel Street beating to the timeless tunes of The Beatles, and pulsating pubs hosting such an eclectic array of live music, it could only have come from streets of multicultural Liverpool.
