　　The middle of the trio of Edwardian buildings at Pier Head known as the 'Three Graces', the Cunard Building is in the style of an Italian palazzo, and was once HQ to the Cunard Steamship Line. The old first-class passenger lounge on the ground floor is now home to the British Music Experience.

Must-see attractions
Speke Hall
Liverpool
　　A marvellous example of an Elizabethan half-timbered hall, Speke Hall is filled with gorgeously timbered and plastered rooms. The house contains several 'priest's holes', where the hall's sympathetic owners hid Roman Catholic priests during the anti-Catholic 16th and 17th centuries. Speke Hall is about 7.5 miles from central Liverpool; the...
Liverpool Cathedral
Liverpool
　　Britain's largest church, this magnificent neo-Gothic building is also the world's largest Anglican cathedral. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (creator of the red telephone box) and is a stunning bit of architecture, managing at once to provoke awe at its size as well as a profound feeling...
Walker Art Gallery
Liverpool
　　The city's foremost art gallery is the national gallery for northern England, housing an outstanding collection of art from the 14th to the 21st centuries. Its strong suits are Pre-Raphaelite art, modern British art and sculpture – not to mention the rotating exhibits of contemporary expression. It's a family-friendly place...
Lutyens Crypt
Liverpool
　　Beneath the Catholic cathedral is a huge crypt designed by Edwin Lutyens for an immense neo-Romanesque cathedral that was never built. The original design would have been roughly three times bigger than the Houses of Parliament and featured a dome bigger than that of St Peter's in Rome. The crypt...
World Museum
Liverpool
　　Natural history, science and technology are the themes of the oldest museum in town, which opened in 1853. Its exhibits range from live bugs to human anthropology. This vastly entertaining and educational museum is spread across five themed floors, from the aquarium on the 1st floor to the planetarium on...
Merseyside Maritime Museum
Liverpool
　　The story of one of the world's great ports is the theme of this excellent museum and, believe us, it's a graphic and compelling page-turner. One of the many great exhibits is Emigration to a New World (in the basement), which tells the story of nine million emigrants and their...
International Slavery Museum
Liverpool
　　Museums are, by their very nature, like a still of the past, but the extraordinary International Slavery Museum resonates very much in the present. It reveals slavery's unimaginable horrors – including Liverpool's own role in the triangular slave trade – in a clear and uncompromising manner. It does this through...
Cunard Building
Liverpool
　　The middle of the trio of Edwardian buildings at Pier Head known as the 'Three Graces', the Cunard Building is in the style of an Italian palazzo, and was once HQ to the Cunard Steamship Line. The old first-class passenger lounge on the ground floor is now home to the...
St George's Hall
Liverpool
　　Liverpool's most impressive building is the Grade I–listed St George's Hall, a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture that is as imposing today as it was when it was completed in 1854. Curiously, it was built as law courts and a concert hall – presumably a judge could pass sentence and...
The Beatles Story
Liverpool
　　Liverpool's most popular museum won't illuminate any dark, juicy corners in the turbulent history of the world's most famous foursome – there's ne'er a mention of internal discord, drugs or Yoko Ono – but there's plenty of genuine memorabilia to keep a Beatles fan happy, while kids can get a...
Liverpool Football Club
Liverpool
　　A dominant footballing force for most of the 1970s and 1980s, Liverpool FC remains one of the world's most famous and best-supported clubs, despite not winning a league championship since 1991. Its current crop of stars, led by the magnetic German Jürgen Klopp, play their home games at the wonderful...
Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King
Liverpool
　　Known colloquially as Paddy's Wigwam, Liverpool's Catholic cathedral is a mightily impressive modern building that looks like a soaring concrete teepee, hence its nickname. It was completed in 1967 according to the design of Sir Frederick Gibberd after the original plans by Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose crypt is inside. The...
