20 THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN LIVERPOOL

It is likely that if you think of Liverpool the first thing that comes to mind is one of the mythical songs of the Beatles! Normal, in fact you may be a fan who decided to travel to this city of England to travel the same streets and visit the same places as your idols. And that's cool, but you know there are many more things to see and do in Liverpool. Next we will tell you 20.

1. The first thing we recommend is sign up for this free tour With which you will visit the main attractions of the city and meet a few curiosities. It is free, although it is recommended to leave a good tip.

2. Take a tour of the Albert dock, the city's promenade, a super nice area full of surprises, such as its famous ferris wheel (or its nice little restaurants). Curiosity: Albert Dock was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, come on, it is a must in Liverpool.

3. There is a grain in Liverpool's history that its inhabitants are surely not proud of: the city was a commercial slave port. In the International Slavery Museum You can find out more about the history of the slaves they brought from Africa and America. Open from 10am to 5pm and admission is free.

4 Are you one of those looking for ideal places to take pictures at sunset? First of all pray all the prayers you know (in Liverpool it usually rains a lot, but you'll know that already) and then go up to the Everton Brow Park.They say that from there you can enjoy best sunset in the city. Another great place to get good panoramas is in the Terrace of the Radio City Tower (6£).

5. One of the best plans if you want to see Liverpool from another point of view is a lap in mersey river cruise. It goes through the most emblematic places, and we always say that cities from the water look spectacular. If you want to book it in advance we recommend this, which only costs € 11.50.

6. The real fans ofBeatles you can't miss a Thematic tour of the mythical British band. As you can guess the offer is quite abundant, and in general they are not expensive. It will take you through the main key locations in the group's history and, of course, the guides will tell you a thousand and one anecdotes. This for example, costs € 20 although it is in English. You also have the option of the Beatles tour in Spanish somewhat more expensive.

7. If you prefer not to join any tour but want to delve into the history of the Beatles, visit “The Beatles Story“, A museum entirely dedicated to Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Star. Book your ticket here. Get out without hummingYellow Submarine it's almost impossible!

8. And of course when night falls, approach The cavern, the legendary pub where the Beatles played almost 300 times! Every day they make live music and the pints come in that give pleasure. Just don't leverage here hours and hours because Liverpool is full of wonderful pubs. Specific Mathew street It has a few safety pins.

9. Not everything is songs and beer, in this English city you can also find interesting monuments. One of them is the Anglican Cathedral, truly imposing and majestic. Although with a somewhat gloomy air, especially if when you visit it, you find it surrounded by fog like us. Tip: just behind the cathedral is the St. James Garden Cemetery, if you have time it is worth a visit.

10. Although for us the most amazing church Liverpool's is that of St. Lukes . What makes it special is that during the Second World War it suffered bombings, and although from the outside it looks like a normal and ordinary church ... the interior is completely empty. For this reason it is known as the “Bombed Out Church“.

11. Those known as “the three thanks of Liverpool"It should definitely be well marked on your map. There are 3 buildings, the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port Of Liverpool Building, all World Heritage Sites, which are very close to the Mersey River.

12. Take out one photo with Eleanor Rigby, on Stanley Street, which you will surely remember for the Beatles song of the same name ... “All the lonely peopleeeeee”

13. Another of the goals of the Beatles fans' pilgrimage is Penny lane. If you do not do any tour, we advise you to approach on your own and take a photo with the famous street sign.

14. Do you like to try the typical dishes of the places you visit? Liverpool is famous on scouse, a stew of meat (usually lamb) and vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions), very, very tasty. The best claim to be that of Maggie May's. It is located at 90 Bold Street.

15. For the lucky ones who stay a few days, an excellent idea is to make a simple and quick excursion is that of the Crosby Beach. There you will find the “Another Place”, some steel statues that represent life-size human figures scattered around the beach itself. Pretty cool but very cool!

16. The Liverpool Chinatown He is the biggest and most famous in all of Europe and our advice is… go there for lunch or dinner (aiiiins, those dumplings!). Do not forget to take a picture with the majestic Chinese door that marks the entrance to that curious neighborhood.

17. If you are lucky and the day dawns with a bright sun, why not enjoy a good walk in nature? There are many urban parks Where to relax for a little while or organize a picnic, our favorite is the Sefton Park. However, if the day is typical of Mordor, go to the Liverpool Central Library. There is also free wifi hehe.

18. And, of course, the card that all travelers play on rainy days: museums! Liverpool has many, the most recommended are the Walker Art Gallery and the Tate Gallery (both free). The Liverpool Museum It's the place you have to go to if you want to learn more about the interesting history of the city (it's free). If you travel with children, a museum that usually likes young and old is the World museum (with archaeological and natural science findings) and the best ... is quite interactive. It is also free, so it's nice.

19. To combat the cold, one option is to go shopping! The Liverpool One It is a great shopping center, in the historic center (there is also another, the St Johns Shopping Center). We went in December and with the cold it was there were people in flip flops! Mind you, it was a sunny day.

20. Do you like football? Then you will surely enjoy as a dwarf in the Anfield Stadium, one of the myths of the Premier. If you match when there is Liverpool match, I would not think twice, say those who have been say there is a special atmosphere. Of course, go rehearsing the “You'll never walk alone !. There are also tours for the forofos.

20 + 1 :. This point goes to the series of addicts: if the deeds of the Peaky Blinders, there is good news ... in Liverpool there are thematic tours, because in its streets a few scenes were shot. You can book the half day tour here. Did you know that the Peaky Blinders really existed?
