Things to Do Before the Event
Liverpool waterfront should be high on the to-do list of any visitor to the city, with history, art, culture and music all intertwined in an iconic setting along the famous riverside.
The Beatles Story tells the story of John, Paul, George and Ringo, the fab four who hailed from Liverpool to take on the world and etch their names into musical folklore. Once you’re finished there, go for a stroll around the historic waterfront at the Royal Albert Dock, taking in hidden gems and getting to know the city and its unique maritime history.
There are two cathedrals in Liverpool city centre — Liverpool Cathedral and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, which are within easy walking distance of each other.
Liverpool Cathedral Tower, which is over 100 metres tall, offers stunning views of the city and across the River Mersey to the Wirral Peninsula.
If you fancy spending a day shopping, Liverpool is the place to be, with Liverpool ONE, just a ten-minute walk from Liverpool Arena, offering over 170 stores to choose from.
Alternatively, the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool’s creative and digital quarter, is perhaps the city’s most up-and-coming area, with former factories and workshops now home to alternative shopping, dining, arts and entertainment hotspots.
