Seems like all my trips start on a rainy morning. On our way to Metrolink, colorful rainbow gave us a warm welcome. We set off for Liverpool.
We took a tram from Altrincham to Manchester Victoria.
The train got delayed and was canceled. We were asked to board the next train to Liverpool by the train attendant. There was a heavy rush on the next train and we proceeded on our journey which took around 35 minutes.
Liverpool Lime Street is a terminus railway station, and the main station serving the city center of Liverpool. Opened in August 1836, it is the oldest grand terminus mainline station still in use in the world.
It was a breezy day in Liverpool and was certainly much colder than Manchester.
Radio City Tower (also known as St. John’s Beacon) is a radio and observation tower in Liverpool which was built in 1969. It is 138 meters (452 ft) tall and is the second tallest free-standing building in Liverpool and the 32nd tallest in the United Kingdom.
St George’s Hall
The Grade I listed St George’s Hall, opposite Lime Street Station, stands 169ft long and 74ft wide with a tunnel-vaulted ceiling – the largest of its kind in the whole of Europe. Built in the early 1800s as a grand hub for music festivals and the Civil and Crown courts, St George’s Hall has been at the very epicenter of Liverpool life ever since. It is one of the finest examples of neo-classical architecture in the world.

We had a yummy English lunch at World Museum’s Cafe.

We had a wonderful stroll in the heart of the city filled with restaurants, bars & shopping stalls from St. John’s Gardens to Church House and then proceeded to Albert Dock.
The Royal Albert Dock complex is a must visit if you go to Liverpool. From attractions to museums to places to eat, they are all here. We loved walking around the Docks.

The Beatles Story: ‘The Beatles Story’ is the world’s largest permanent exhibition devoted to telling the story of The Beatles’ rise to fame. The place is quite small with a lot of information bombarded at you. It is quite pricey. I found the information too lengthy on headphones.
