Things to Do in Liverpool
The music fanatic will find themselves deeply in love with this city as it is the birthplace of England’s most famous band – The Beatles. In fact, both music fans and casual listeners will enjoy a visit to The Beatles Story. This mashup of museum and theme park offers not only information, but also memorabilia, interactive areas and recreations of real pubs where the band played. For a more intimate experience, go to the Liverpool Beatles Museum. After a tiring day, chill out in the extensive Sefton Park or go on a relaxing cruise along the Mersey River to enjoy the best views of the pier. Finally, we recommend spending one evening exploring the Baltic Triangle.

It’s the perfect place to discover the more youthful side of Liverpool!
