Uncovering Gems and Stories in Liverpool in a Weekend by the Docks

On episode 25, Julie & Art visit Liverpool England.  

Introduction to Liverpool

We introduce you to the town of Liverpool with some key points about the city.  Visiting the historic waterfront in Liverpool, is another opportunity to add a UNESCO World Heritage Site to your travel adventures.  

Key Attractions

Listen for our review of several places we visited in Liverpool.  We'll take you an audio tour of these attractions and landmarks:  

Merseyside Maritime Museum

Museum of Liverpool

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King

Beatles Highlights

A trip to Liverpool would be incomplete without soaking up some Beatles history.  We take a walk down Matthew Street, to visit the area where the Beatles would hone their craft, including the Cavern Club.  We also take photos at the Beatles statue installed on the 50th anniversary of their final Liverpool performance.

 

Fun Facts

Our fun facts on this episode include some learning moments about the city's Liverbird, musical trivia, and a few things related to railways and libraries. 

 

Restaurant and Foodie Highlights

We highlight a few of the eateries we enjoyed while in Liverpool including:

Cargo

Cafe Thorntons

Lodging

We also chat about our lodging in Liverpool.  We stayed at

Ibis Styles Liverpool Centre Dale Street - Cavern Quarter Hotel

Travel Resources

We consulted “DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain” for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip.  The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit.  We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.
