Find out more at the free-to-enter Waterfront Maritime Museum.\n\nLiverpool Dock has restaurants, bars, independent stores, museums and art galleries including Tate Liverpool and the Liverpool Museum, as well as The Beatle's Story, an immersive exhibition which takes you down the Long and Winding Road of The Beatles.\n\n
Liverpool is the perfect place to learn about the Fab Four
..It's their hometown after all. Take a selfie with a larger-than-life version of them on the Pier Head, or visit The Cavern Club on Mathew Street - the live music venue where The Beatles forged their musical identity and became the club's signature act following their first performance there on 9th February 1961.\n\nDon't miss - Right in the heart of the city is Liverpool ONE, the one place you can find all of your high street favourites and designers, plus food, drink and entertainment.
