Pier Head in Liverpool
The complex called Pier Head is perhaps the most pompous part of the Liverpool Docks. Majestic grayish-white buildings tower over old warehouses, recalling the beginning of the 20th century — that time in European history when the British Empire seemed unshakable.
Albert Dock in Liverpool
Liverpool’s most famous landmark is the docks, and this is quite logical: for many centuries Liverpool has been the largest port in the world. Cargo turnover here reached huge values at that time, so there were also a lot of docks here. Not all of them have been preserved, but some of them can be viewed.
The Beatles Museum in Liverpool
The most complete ticket includes a tour of the Beatles Story Exhibition, Elvis and Us Exhibition, Discovery Zone, Fab 4D, costs about 21 euros per ticket for an adult and 10 euros per ticket for a child from 5 to 16 years old, valid for 48 hours.
Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool
Bluecoat Chambers is a very curious institution and actually very English. It is worth going here, if only because it is the oldest preserved building in the central part of Liverpool. Originally, of course, there were houses much older, but they were all bombed during the war.
British Music Experience
If you associate the “British invasion” exclusively with the Beatles and you are unlikely to name more than a dozen English performers on the spot, then you should definitely visit the British Music Experience Museum, which is located in the most iconic city of British musical culture — Liverpool.
Oriel Chambers in Liverpool
Oriel Chambers is one of those Liverpool attractions that are unlikely to appeal to a tourist who is attuned to medieval architecture, but in this case, frankly, it is better to choose another city to visit, Canterbury, for example. But those who love Art Nouveau will like Oriel.
Speke Hall in Liverpool
Speke Hall, among other attractions in Liverpool, looks like it was placed there for the sake of contrast: an old 16th-century house with wooden beams and ghosts looks strange among the famous buildings of the city, mostly modern and high-rise.
Royal Life Building
The visiting card of Liverpool is the Pier Head embankment on the site of the dock, filled in at the end of the 19th century. The ironic British called the buildings standing there the Three Graces, the most beautiful of them is undoubtedly the Royal Life Building. It was built in 1911.
Liverpool Stadium
Serious passions have been simmering here for more than 120 years: since the end of the 19th century, the Liverpool football team has been playing at its home arena Anfield. One of the oldest stadiums in England, built back in 1884, originally consisted of a football field and only one grandstand.
Town Hall in Liverpool
In Britain, there are town halls in many big cities and there are many interesting buildings among them, but the Liverpool Town Hall stands out even here. Its first feature is that it is quite old — it is more than 250 years old. Another feature is that it was built by 2 very talented and famous architects in turn.
