Most places on earth are synonymous with at least one thing. If one was to play a word association game with the cities of the world, then Paris would undoubtedly derive the Eiffel Tower, Rome the Colosseum and London the Queen.
Indeed, Liverpool – the city of half a million people situated on the eastern side of the Mersey estuary in North West England – is no different.
Whilst Liverpool has been a major port city for almost a century and a half, it is perhaps most renowned as the place that gave the world one of the most revered and successful rock and roll bands of all time – and that’s not Gerry and the Pacemakers, Echo and the Bunnymen or Frankie Goes to Hollywood!
Most people instantly associate Liverpool as the place where the Beatles were formed and as such, the region is assured of its place in music history, along with New Orleans (jazz), Chicago (blues), Nashville (country) and Seattle (grunge).
It’s almost impossible to discuss Merseyside without mentioning the ‘fab four’ – John, Paul, George and Ringo – and any visit to the city wouldn’t be complete without taking in ‘The Beatles Story. Located in the Albert Docks area of Liverpool, the museum transports visitors back to the 60s to sample life as it would’ve been way back then.
Then there is the Cavern Club, famous for being the place where Brian Epstein first saw the Beatles play. Between 1961 and 1963, the Beatles performed there almost three hundred times and the club subsequently saw the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Elton John and the Who also take to the stage there. Today, the Cavern Club still plays host to some forty live bands every week and is a great place to take in some live music whilst experiencing a big piece of rock and roll history.
Of course, Liverpool isn’t just famous for music. The city is also synonymous for football, with two world-renowned clubs – Everton and Liverpool – performing in England’s top division. It’s the latter of these clubs that is probably more famed though and whilst getting tickets for an actual match will prove tough if not impossible, a tour of the stadium is a must for football lovers.
Anfield stadium has been the home to Liverpool FC since 1892 and a stadium tour gives a fascinating insight into the club’s illustrious past. The museum has on display five European cups, the last of which was won against AC Milan back in 2005.
With so much history and prestige attached to a city with a population of under half a million people, the staff at Liverpool hotels will no doubt be able to answer any questions you have about the area and recommend some of the city’s hidden treasures to you.
