Big city, big sites…small time frame…
Liverpool is one of the top tourist destinations in the UK. As an official UNESCO World Heritage Site, the entire city is in itself an attraction that the world holds in great esteem. With a stunning waterfront as the basis of its UNESCO status and a city skyline filled with buildings that echo the cities status in the 18th and 19th centuries as a centre for global commerce and British exploration of the world.
So what should you go and see if you only have a day or less to see everything? Here is a quick tour suggestion:
Culture
For a quick fix of amazing cultural inspiration and gateway to the past, head to Liverpool Walker Art Gallery, the national gallery of the North is home to countless paintings by grand masters. This incredibly central and unmistakable gallery is home to works by Rembrandt, Turner, Degas and Hockney and is easily explored in an hour or so, as long as you don’t pause at each picture too long.
Sport
If you love sport, then you have come to the right city. With both Liverpool FC and Everton FC, two of the best Premiership football teams in the country within the same city; if you visit on a Saturday you can be assured of getting a chance to see some of England’s top footballers in action. If you don’t fancy the ticket prices though, Tranmere Rovers are a lower league team in Liverpool that charge less but offer a whole lot of passion. Get there for 3pm and grab your ticket for a couple of hours of rip roaring Liverpool action.
Music
The best thing to do is easily to visit the awesome Beatles Story at Albert Dock. The Fab Four are a rich vein that runs through the city and no visit would be complete without seeing this great exhibition.
Accommodation
Liverpool is a city perfectly set up for visitors. With Liverpool hotels dotted like a fine carpet of diamonds across the whole city centre you will easily find somewhere ideal for your needs. Most cheap hotels in Liverpool will offer you everything from hostel style accommodation, right the way up to the ‘5 star’ opulence of a boutique hotel. Just don’t spend too long indoors though as there is an amazing city out there for you to explore.
Heritage
The quickest way to see Liverpool’s rich heritage is just to look up as you walk around. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so try and absorb the history as you explore.
