But it isn't just the city of Liverpool which has much to offer its visitors there are plenty of things to do and see in the surrounding areas. Here, we'll look at just a few of the things you can see and do when you visit Liverpool.

Of course no visit to Liverpool would be complete without learning more about The Beatles. The Beatles Story can be found in Albert Dock where one gets transported back to the very start of this groups life. It shows the visitors what happened when four young guys from this city became world famous. But not only does it look at their music but at their lives as they grew up including, of course, how the group was formed.

Other places along with the Beatles Story that should not be missed during a visit to the Culture Capital of Europe are as follows:-

1.     Merseyside Maritime Museum – Again situated in the historic Albert Dock this museum houses a wide array of items reflecting the importance of the sea to this city. It is here you can learn about the importance of the city and its docks during the Second World War and how members of the merchant navy coped with life on the high seas.  You also get to view what the Titanic, Lusitania and Forgotten Empress ships were like.

2.    Speke Hall – If you would like to learn more about what life was like back in the 15th Century then a visit to this attraction should be arranged. Speke Hall is a famous half-timbered building and dates from the 1490's. As you wander through it you will learn about the lives and times of those who have lived in it throughout the last five hundred or so years. 

3.    Knowsley Safari Park – This has been a safari park since it was opened in 1971. Although most people go to visit the safari park there are plenty of other attractions for the whole family to enjoy. There is also the Reptile House, Children's Farm and the Parrot and Sea Lion shows as well. 

4.    Western Approaches – These are actually below the streets of Liverpool and will give you a glimpse of how life was in the city during the Second World War. Including how the city helped to protect England from invaders across the Atlantic.  This is a truly dramatic way to see how we coped during those troubled times.
