Liverpool Walking Tour

Liverpool, United Kingdom

Why Walk Liverpool

Liverpool's waterfront tells the story of a city that once handled 40 percent of world trade. The Three Graces — the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building — form one of the most recognizable waterfronts in the world. The Albert Dock houses Tate Liverpool, the Maritime Museum, and the Beatles Story. Walking from the waterfront reveals two vastly different cathedrals — the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral, the largest in Britain, and the modernist Metropolitan Cathedral. The Baltic Triangle has become a creative hub. The Beatles' legacy permeates the city, from Mathew Street's Cavern Club to the childhood homes of Lennon and McCartney.
