As the birthplace of the world’s most beloved band, The Beatles, it's hardly surprising that Liverpool gets so many visitors. The Beatles made this city what it is today, just like the city made the band what it was over 60 years ago. Fans can see exactly where the band members grew up, met, hung out, played their first gigs, and drew inspiration for songs like Penny Lane, starting at The Beatles Story museum. The nightlife today is just as rockin’ as it was back then, as its industrial warehouses in Ropewalk and the Baltic Triangle have been reinvented as cultural and social hubs with an electric atmosphere. As a coastal city though, nowhere beats Liverpool’s iconic waterfront featuring the Royal Livery Building and the Royal Albert Docks.
