Made famous as the Beatles hometown, Liverpool, an industrial city and one of the largest seaports in England, is located 180 miles west of London, on the banks of the River Mersey.
Though not a 'classic' tourist destination, Liverpool has a few unique offerings related to the 'Fab Four' worth exploring. Those include the 'Magical Mystery Tour' visiting major Beatles sites across town and the Beatles Story Museum and the former home of Sir Paul McCartney.
Other notable attractions include Liverpool's two spectacular cathedrals, the Tate Gallery of Modern Art and the Royal Philharmonic Hall. Sports lovers will find primer league soccer at the stadiums of both Liverpool FC and Everton FC. Attending a game, especially when the two play each other, is a memorable experience.
Hotels in Liverpool are mostly clustered within a mile of the town centre. The Liverpool Airport is just 5 miles away from all hotels.
