and this page will often be updated from various visits.
Liverpool is famous for its two cathedrals, the Albert docks, the Beatles the
Mersey ferries and of course its two football teams - Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves!
The main buildings on the waterfront are known as the "Three Graces". They will soon be joined by a "4th Grace", giving Liverpool a comtemporary landscape.
There's always plenty of things going on - even more so since Liverpool has won the prestigous award of European Capital of Culture 2008. Liverpool is now the happening place to be!
There are countless reminders of the Beatles in Liverpool of course. The museum is situated in the Albert Dock Complex and there are memorial statues in the Cavern Walks Centre.
See the travelogue below for "Beatles Street".
- Pros:Historical Port, Culture and Music, Scouse Humour
- Cons:None
- In a nutshell:Too much to see in one day!

Nice one! Have a good time! Gillybob greetings
Hi Sandy, although it took me ages to click through all of your Liverpool tips, I must admit that this is a very informative page with lots of infos. I went to Liverpool this March and enjoyed it very much. A really cool place!
Sandy, William McKenzie is sitting at his card table...with the winning hand. The church is St Andrew's-The Scottish Church
Hello You refer to the "3 Graces". I'm 50-something and I hadn't heard this phrase until a few years ago. It isn't a local, Liverpool phrase. Who started it?
Hi Sandy, I've been 'accross the pond' several times over the past few years for visits to Liverpool. Its a great city, vibrant, the people are the best in the UK, not to mention my visits to that Mecca Anfield! I just love the place, so down to earth!
Some stunning night shots, especially the first fountain shot. That has "pro" quality.
Hi Ya, just popped in to say Hello' and thanks for the glimpse into the Beatles, we just saw Ringo Starr in concert! Brilliant... How the UK doing? greetings from Ontario Canada
Dispite being a life long Chelsea supporter, congrats an a great page and good luck to the Reds this year LOL
Interesting page, ..its very nice to put this city into persepective. Excellent naratives. Kind regards.
I'll get back across the pond all right. And when I do, I plan on doing this Cain tour. Two pints and a buffet for less than four quid?! Now, that's a bargain I can't pass up. :)
