Luscious Liverpool city breaks

Liverpool holiday apartment

Once a major industrial centre, Liverpool has regenerated in the last few years to become one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the UK, an achievement cemented by its role as Capital of Culture in 2008.

The main attraction is its waterfront, the perfect place for a stroll. This striking walk takes you through Liverpool’s World Heritage Site, which includes the famous Three Graces – a trio of historic dockside buildings dating from the early twentieth century. The city has several museums, including the Museum of Liverpool and the Merseyside Maritime Museum, both of which are free entry and allow a full exploration of the area’s fascinating history through interactive exhibits.

Music lovers will want to track down some of the buildings associated with Liverpool’s most famous sons – The Beatles. There is a Magical Mystery Tour to show you all the musical highlights and the legendary Cavern bar, where the group played their first gigs, is also a popular stop. You can even tour the childhood homes of Lennon and McCartney or visit the Beatles’ story – a great introduction to the band for all the family.

The city is stocked with world-class restaurants, many of which receive accolades in the national press. Wine lovers will want to book a table at Fraiche, which has the best wine list in the UK according to 2010’s Which Good Food Guide. Meanwhile, Panoramic is a fantastic experience restaurant with 360 degree views across Liverpool while you dine.
Holiday 365 has a fantastic range of accommodation for Liverpool city breaks, placing all this and more on your doorstep.
