For the past year now Liverpool, England has been the European Capital of Culture city. Certainly if you were to visit this wonderful city not just this year but next there will be plenty for you to do and see during your time there. In fact this city after London offers more galleries and museums per capita than any other city in the UK.
You’re also just a short trip from some oustanding features in the nearby countryside. Here, we’ll look at just a few of the things you can see and do when you visit Liverpool.
Liverpool is of course famous for the Beatles and you can trace much of their history here. The Beatles Story can be found in Albert Dock and here you can trace the group’s life back to the very beginning. It shows the visitors what happened when four young guys from this city became world famous. It looks at their music and also at their childhood lives and how they came to form such an iconic group.
Once you’ve been to the Beatles Story, here are some other sights you may wish to visit:-
1. Merseyside Maritime Museum – Again situated in the historic Albert Dock this museum looks at the city’s maritime roots. Including how important both Liverpool and its docks were during World War Two and how life was at sea for those who are in the merchant navy. The museum also has exhibits on the Titanic, Lusitania and Forgotten Empress ships.
2. Speke Hall – If you would like to learn more about what life was like back in the 15th Century then a visit to this attraction should be arranged. Speke Hall is a famous half-timbered building and dates from the 1490′s. As you wander through it you will learn about the lives and times of those who have lived in it throughout the last five hundred or so years.
3. Knowsley Safari Park – This was opened by the 18th Earl of Derby in 1971. Naturally, the main attraction is the safari park itself but there are many other things to do as well. There is also the Reptile House, Children’s Farm and the Parrot and Sea Lion shows as well.
4. Western Approaches – These are actually below the streets of Liverpool and provides you with an insight into what life was like during the 1940′s. Including how the city helped to protect England from invaders across the Atlantic. As you wander through the labyrinth of rooms you will be transported back to one of the most dramatic periods of time in the UK’s history.
