4.6/5
10 reviews

Opened in 1846, the dock was one of the first in the world. Up to years, Albert Dock was a dilapidated site, its entrpôts rotting and the shore was abandoned. The dock has since been refurbished and has become the pride of Liverpool and has a real tourist success. The Albert Dock waterways are now navigable and its warehouses have many bars, restaurants, shops and museums. These include the Merseyside Maritime Museum, which commemorates the city's commercial activities and its sad role in the slave trade, the Liverpool Life Museum, which presents the cultural diversity of the city and its characteristics, the Tate Liverpool, modern art gallery and The Beatles Story.

QUARTER CAVE

Street square and neighborhood to visit
4.5/5
6 reviews

This is the neighborhood around Matthew Street. A Mecca of the Beatles, visitors come to find one of the places of their beginnings. Indeed, this was where the group was born at the Cavern Club where it occurred 292 times between 1961 and 1963. It is also here that producer Brian Einstein lives the Beatles for the first time. The original club was demolished, but it has been rebuilt since then.

After their concerts, the four stars would usually take a drink at the "The Grape" pub. Next to the Cave Club, a "wall of celebrities" also bears the names of the other famous groups that have gone there. Another presents gold discs, each one of which is a singer or a Liverpool group that reached first place in the English hit. On Matthew Street you will also find a statue of John Lennon and the Matthew Street Gallery, specialized in the art that came to the singer (drawings) and photographs of the Beatles. It's obviously on Matthew Street that most of the festivities were held during the week of the Beatles in August.
