The city of Liverpool is a cosmopolitan city in England’s north west.  The city of Liverpool can claim to numerous world “firsts”. The most well known of these firsts was the the first commercial wet dock to be built on earth.  The docks in Liverpool were, at the beginning of the 1900′s, England’s busiest with roughly forty percent of world trade being handled by the port. With such magnificent wealth it is not too surprising to learn that the city is home to some of the most impressive galleries and museums in the whole of Britain, with only the nation’s capital, London, having more. In the following article I examine some of the various other factors which help make Liverpool such an amazing place to have a weekend city break.

Lots of people think that Liverpool is missing such things as historical buildings, castles, stately homes and fortified houses and despite the fact that Liverpool Castle no longer exists the city of Liverpool has a few buildings which are known all around the world.

The Fab Four

The Beatles, Ringo, John, George and Paul, remain one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands the world has ever seen. The Band came from Liverpool and you are able to pay a visit the homes they lived in by taking a trip on one of the Magical Mystery Tours. Obviously there are much more Beatles associated attractions for example; The Beatles Story, Mathew Street Gallery, The Cavern Club and The Beatles Shop, as well as a few pubs (The Jacaranda in Slater Street, Ye Cracke in Rice Street and The Grapes in Mathew Street) and an endless number of places associated with Beatles songs for example Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane.

All fans of the Beatles will be thrilled to learn that it is possible to book Liverpool bed & breakfast in a Beatles themed hotel.

Some of the most popular include The Albert Dock, Speke Hall and The Merseyside Maritime Museum plus The Tate Liverpool, Knowsley Safari Park and Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral and the Catholic Cathedral as well as many, many more.

Besides all of the attractions mentioned above the city of Liverpool has a long association with comedians.  The list of Liverpool comedians is incredibly huge but some of the most famous include Kenny Everett, Alexei Sayle and Craig Charles, older readers might recall Faith Brown, Arthur Askey and Stan Boardman or Ken Dodd, Les Dennis and Jimmy Tarbuck.
