Back to Beatle Roots

There is a gift shop to the museum, which features extremely high-priced Beatles souvenirs. I think the admission price was $10 per person, but we had printed a coupon off of their website, which doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Hours: 10am-6pm (April-Sept), 10am-5pm (Oct-March). Open seven days a week. Closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Our tour guide was especially knowledgeable and quite funny too. We had a special treat when we went to Paul McCartney's childhood home. The guy who maintains the home happens to look just like Paul, so we snapped a photo a fooled all of our friends into thinking that we had met him!! Ha ha!

Address: Meets at the Visitor Center at Albert Dock

Website

The cathedral is not quite as old as other Anglican cathedrals in England; it was built in 1904. You can certainly see its more modern touches, but it adds to its uniqueness. It is reportedly the largest Anglican cathedral in England and has the largest working church organ in the world. Volunteer guides are available to lead tours around the building or you may take a leaflet, which gives a very good outline of what there is to see.

There is a large gift shop on the site. They sell Liverpool souvenirs and also general religious items for sale.

Made famous by the Beatles, the Cavern Club is still operating today. The Magical Mystery tour ends in the re-made club, which is modeled to look just like the club where the Beatles performed in the 1960's. You can buy a drink and sit and soak in the atmosphere or watch some live performances in the evenings.

Across the alley from the Cavern Club is the Cavern Pub. The pub houses many Beatles artifacts, such as some of their guitars. We popped over for a beer and cider and sat and relaxing while looking at all of the Beatles memorabilia.
