So perhaps it is not entirely surprising that I am dedicating my first tip to the subject.

First of all, though, allow me to mention this: I am not saying there are no guided tours. These exist and are, as far as I am aware of, highly regarded. If you wish to join, contact that local TIC at 709 3285. It's just the fact that I prefer wandering on my own. This requires somewhat more planning than simply buying a bus tour ticket.

You can simply follow the bus tour route or create something of your own, rearranging the order of the places to see or adding some. The list can be as extensive as you wish and is best compiled with the help of a biography of the band, a map, and some local tourist brochures (just to check a house is still in its place) or even a specialized guidebook, for example, Beatles Liverpool by Robin Jones. To simplify matters, here is my little guide:

1. Houses and schools where the houses and schools of the Fab Four stand (or stood, as the case may be).
2. Cavern Club (which is not the original one since that was destroyed in 1973) with the statue of John Lennon, as he was in Hamburg before the band’s rise to fame – looks very much like a museum. You should head to Mathew Street, 2. Keep in mind that it might be closed since groups can rent it to have a party.
3. Penny Lane, a landmark from the namesake song.
4. Strawberry Fields, a former Salvation Army centre. I say former because it closed its doors in January 2005, although it was still open when I went to the city. You can still see the site, though.
5. The Beatles Story is the local museum focusing on the group’s history, complete with old TV clips, music records, and other memorabilia. The entrance fee is somewhat expensive, so this one is better done in conjunction with the Beatles Tour. However, the die-hard fans will struggle to discover something new for them. Or you can save money by getting yourself a combined ticket with Albert Dock and Merseyside Maritime Museum.
6. Town Hall’s portico and balcony, where the Beatles were received by the Lord Mayor in 1964 – one of the first official accolades granted to the band.
7. A visit to one of the many cafés and restaurants named after songs, places, etc. Close
