A gourmet feast for culture vultures, the Albert Dock has the very best in the North West. The Tate Gallery is the region's major centre for contemporary art and the Merseyside Maritime Museum is the largest of its kind in Europe. And of course, who could forget the story of the world's greatest band, The Beatles.

Shops, shops and more shops. Stop for a break in one of the many pubs, wine bars, restaurants and cafés that punctuate this retail heaven.

Nights at the dock, sample superb international cuisine at fabulous eateries. Catch the buzz at fashionable watering holes, whatever your pleasure, indulge yourself.
