Beatles Liverpool: ultimate guide to 48 fab hours in the city
Roll up, step right this way – particularly if you’re a Beatles fan planning a weekend in the band’s home city of Liverpool. Tens of thousands of Fab Four followers do just that each year, with the most famous group in the world generating millions of pounds for the city. And all this despite the fact that John, Paul, George and Ringo parted ways almost five decades ago.
There’s certainly plenty to see and do if you do make the trip to the banks of the Mersey – whether it be from Argentina, Australia, Alamaty or Andover. Where to start? What to do?
Start your weekend on the Liverpool waterfront where you can admire – and have your photo taken with – the new Beatles Statue. The latest addition to the city’s Beatle attractions, the statue was commissioned and paid for by the Cavern Club and was unveiled on the Pier Head in December by John Lennon’s sister Julia Baird. It’s modelled on the giant image of the young John, Paul, George and Ringo walking along the street which adorns the front of the HMV store in Liverpool One.
