Liverpool Cathedral

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is a very striking example of a feat of Gothic-style architecture. Built between 1904 and 1978, the cathedral even holds the title of the largest in Britain. The organ, from builders Henry Willis & Sons may also call itself the largest with 10,368 pipes. Upon entering, marvel at the wide variety of art or climb the tower for an excellent view of the city.

Anfield Stadium

Soccer fans in Liverpool really shouldn't miss a visit to the iconic Anfield Stadium. Home to one of the world's most renowned soccer clubs - Liverpool FC - this stadium is a major sporting destination that has long been associated with British soccer. Take a tour of the historic grounds and enjoy the view from the main stand, follow in the footsteps of your favorite players in the players' tunnel, visit the home and away dressing rooms and, of course, touch the iconic "This Is Anfield" - sign.

The Beatles Story

This award-winning museum at Albert Dock tells the story of how four young boys from Liverpool were taken from humble beginnings to dizzying heights of fame and fortune. Every detail of the band's existence is highlighted. Take a behind-the-scenes look at the famous Abbey Road Studios, step aboard the Yellow Submarine and see a replica of the Cavern Club. In case you still don't find the museum Beatles enough, a good addition is the Beatles Walk. This starts at the statue on Pier Head; a fun city tour supplemented by places where The Beatles have been.

Royal Albert Dock

Should you go to the Beatles museum, this place is inevitable. If not, this place is definitely worth a little visit. In the early nineteenth century, some 40 percent of the world's trade passed through here. Wander here along the waterfront, the warehouses, visit one of the numerous museums here or have a good cup of coffee in one of the many hipster joints.

Sefton Park

Need to unwind during your city break? Sefton Park, south of the city center is perhaps the best known and most loved park by the true locals. Classified as a monumental park, Sefton traces its origins back to the fifteenth century. Should the sun show itself, here you can have an excellent picnic by the lake, visit an open-air theater or enjoy a British tea in one of the restaurants.
