As a die-hard Beatles and Paul McCartney fan since age 13, you can imagine how I'd dreamed of seeing Liverpool one day. Well, on my second UK trip, I promised myself there was no way I was going to skip Liverpool this time, so the dream came true.
So here's my page on Liverpool, with a huge Beatles bias--so fair warning is given to all you non-Beatles fans out there. :) I have included some other major sights as well, however.
Besides my attraction to the city because of my Fab Four affinity, I loved Liverpool for itself--it is a town with a great sense of humor and a firm sense of identity. In many ways, it reminds me of Chicago, especially with its riverside and the renovated Albert Docks (a la Navy Pier in Chicago). I'm sure even non-Beatles fans can truly appreciate Liverpool's varied attractions.
- Pros:Home of the Beatles--wooo!!!
- Cons:It gets a bad rap from some English people I met on my trip--not sure why!
- In a nutshell:Absolutely mesmerizing for Beatles fans, fun for all!

Great tips! Can't wait myself to take the tour. I'll probably get goosebumps in Mendips. Thanks!
Oh boy, you're really the diehard Beatles fan! I like them, too, and spent a great night at Cavern Club listening to a Beatles cover band who sounded almost like the original. Good work!
Great pages ! Took the Beatles tour also a few years ago- just loved it! isn't that Beatles Experience museum the best? Liverpool is a nicer city than it gets credit for also- Tony from Wisconsin.
Love the page. I took the same MMT tour bus. I was the old man on my tour who knew all the answers! I feel like I have just read my page. We saw so many of the same places.
As a Beatles fan myself, I must say this page is too cool! Thanks for the wonderful pictures and tips. Love your homepage too. Agree about VT not being for politics or dating! LOL.
great tips!
Great stuff on Liverpool, Tara, especially for Beatles lovers. How have you been? Any good trips or planning any?
Great to see you have a fab' time in Liverpool. It's getting better alll the time:)
WONDERFUL Beatles and Liverpool page, Tara. "Vera, Chuck and Dave" would be very very proud. You've made me frantic, across the Atlantic. I think I need to visit Liverpool, too. I really enjoyed your page.
I'll have to check your London pages now to see if you've done Abbey Road! Great tips & photo's! Happy travels, Blu
