Admire the architectural treasures throughout Liverpool and enjoy a leisurely tour of the magnificent Anglican Cathedral and its original Lady Chapel. After departing from the pier, you will soon come upon Pier Head, an area on the River Mersey that was so significant as a trade center in the 18th and 19th centuries that it has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the architectural highlights is the Royal Liver Building, an iconic landmark that was the world’s tallest building when constructed in 1911. Statues of mythical liver birds top the towers, from which the city derived its name.


Continuing into downtown Liverpool, you will pass the flagship Town Hall, where the Lord Mayor of Liverpool resides, and then enter the popular Cavern Quarter. The Beatles performed in its Cavern Club more than 300 times and musicians still play there nightly. More treasures for you to view lie ahead, including the illustrious Walker Art Gallery and the neo-classical St. George’s Hall, a cultural center built in the early 1800s.


Still, Liverpool’s famed Anglican Cathedral dominates the landscape, as it is the largest cathedral in the United Kingdom. Touring the interior, you will discover the castle’s storied history, how it survived two World Wars and near-crippling periods of recession. Its nave is particularly stunning.


You will also see the stadium where the Liverpool Football Club plays and historical Albert Dock, which opened in 1846.
