GREAT
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS ...
Liverpool is great city to walk
about and has a huge range of magnificent
buildings, such as the recently restored
St George's Hall and the famous "Three
Graces" on the waterfront - only London
has more listed buildings. A visit to

Europe, is a must.

As to nightlife, there are many,
varied, quality restaurants in town and a
huge array of bars and clubs to choose
from. Most bars in the city centre stay
open until at least 2 am. Liverpool has a
strong history of performing arts which is
reflected in the number of theatres in the
city, including the Empire, Everyman,
Neptune, Royal Court and Unity Theatres,
and the Liverpool Playhouse. The Everyman
and Playhouse run their own theatre
companies as does the Unity Theatre. A
flourishing orchestra, the Royal Liverpool

And for Beatles enthusiasts, there's a
host of attractions -The Beatle Story
Museum, The Cavern Club, The Casbah &
Jacaranda Club, The Magical Mystery Tour,
International Beatle Week, Penny Lane,
Strawberry Field and their childhood
homes. But the city is not just home to
the Beatles (The Lightning Seeds, Space,

some of the many terrific live music
venues such as the Picket, the Mask,
Barfly, The Carling Academy, Zanzibar, the
Cavern or even the student union.
