Review of Liverpool
Liverpool
A flight to Liverpool transports you to the home of the legendary Beatles. The city’s maritime heritage is evident in monumental waterfront buildings and revitalised docks now buzzing with stylish shops and glamorous bars.
Things to do
On the Magical Mystery Tour you’ll travel to Liverpool sights famously associated with the Beatles. A Liverpool city break can also include the International Slavery Museum, a legacy of the city’s slave trade, and the celebrated collections at the Walker Art Gallery.
Shopping
City centre shopping includes high-street favourites and handmade crafts to take on your homeward flights. Liverpool ONE is an architecturally adventurous shopping quarter spreading towards the restored Albert Dock, where designer boutiques look out over the water.
Restaurants
On Liverpool city breaks you’ll find the city’s best modern European restaurants in the fine Georgian terraces on Hope Street, near the cathedrals and theatres. Liverpool’s Chinese community is one of the biggest in the country, so head to the Chinatown for crispy duck pancakes.
Nightlife
Fashionable Albert Dock is the place to be seen, with glitzy waterfront bars and clubs. In the city centre, you can see new bands at the legendary Cavern Club or buy tickets for Liverpool theatres like the Everyman.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Liverpool. Why not travel to Liverpool for the UK’s most famous horserace, the Grand National at Aintree Racecourse in April, or International Beatle Week in August?
