Sightseeing

A great piece of advice when walking around Liverpool: look up. Liverpool’s skyline fuses striking modern architecture with classically beautiful Victorian buildings. English Heritage named Liverpool the country’s finest Victorian city, but that doesn’t stop the new kids in town stealing the spotlight; in 2014, the recently renovated Everyman Theatre bagged the RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture.

When your neck is tired from looking up, take the short walk to the world-famous waterfront where you can look across the river and then turn around to see the jewel in the cities crown which are the Three Graces. Keep your eyes open for the many architectural surprises that are all around the city and don’t hesitate to ascend to the top of the Anglican Cathedral or St John’s Beacon for even more spectacular views of this wonderful city.
