Albert Dock Docks
Discover Liverpool. That is our goal and, to achieve it, it is convenient to know which are the places that you cannot miss if you decide to travel to this city, located in the county of Merseyside.
To get started, head to the docks of Albert Dock , a former port area from the late 19th century. The architecture of its buildings is very peculiar, although they soon fell into disuse and in the 20th century were relegated to oblivion. Luckily, a modernization plan has recently been carried out and today Albert Dock is one of the most attractive and touristic areas of the city, where you will find the best shops and restaurants.
And if you like architecture, you can visit Liverpool’s two modern cathedrals: the huge Anglican cathedral , built between 1901 and 1978, and the Metropolitan Cathedral , with a peculiar pyramidal shape accessed by a large staircase.

It is a small and very touristy place, so you will surely find quite a few fans of the group. If you are one of them, don’t miss the Beatles Store Museum , in the Albert Dock area.
