Other places to visit
Royal Liver Building
The Royal Liver Building is a historic landmark on Liverpool’s waterfront in England and one of the city’s most recognisable symbols. Easily reachable from the docks.
The Royal Liver Building is famous for the two Liver Birds perched on its towers. The Liver Bird is a mythical creature said to originate from Liverpool itself and has become the city’s emblem. According to local legend, the birds are named Bella and Bertie. One looks out to sea to protect sailors and watch for ships returning to port, while the other faces the city to safeguard its people. If they ever fly away, the story goes, Liverpool would cease to exist.
St George's Hall & Cultural Quarter
Grand neoclassical building often called one of Europe’s finest civic halls surrounded by major landmarks (museums, library, Walker Art Gallery).
The Cavern Club
Iconic live music venue on Matthew Street, where the Beatles played regularly. You can enter for a small fee and enjoy live music at any time.
Dining out: Bold Street and Castle Street
If you want to eat out have a walk through Bold Street or Castle Street. They are vibrant streets with a lot of choices.
Tip: if you head to Bold Street you can also see St Luke’s Bombed Out Church
Tip: if you head to Castle Street you can also see Liverpool's Town Hall, and head afterwards to the Cavern Club
