What we will do

We set off on our coach to discover Liverpool, a lively cosmopolitan city which was home to the Beatles and with an ancient maritime tradition.
We admire the Royal Liver Building, one of the so-called “three graces” on the waterfront. It is an imposing buildings protected by UNESCO surmounted by the statues of the mythical Liver Birds, symbols of the city.
We then cross the most ancient part of Liverpool with the majestic Town Hall and its lovely portico supported by Corinthian column.
We drive along the streets of the quarter home to the famous Cavern Club, where the Beatles as well as many other famous musicians performed countless times.
We stop to take a few photos of the Walker Art Gallery, displaying one of the vastest painting collections in the UK, and of Saint George’s Hall, a large palace built to host public events.
We then visit the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, the main Catholic place of worship in the city and a surprising modern building perfect for taking sensational photos surmounted by a tower made up of 25,000 stained glass panels.
We continue our tour to discover the Liverpool suburbs and numerous green areas scattered around the city and drive along Penny Lane, celebrated by the famous Beatles’ song.
We head back to the centre to reach the requalified Albert Dock area, where crowds of people used to set sail for the New World.
After our tour, we can choose to stay in the city for a spot of shopping or to visit a few more sights, returning to the ship by our own means.
