Liverpool is a key destination for art fans, theatre and museum goers. Liverpool’s jewels range from the cultural icons of Albert Dock, Walker Art Gallery, Tate Gallery and the Maritime Museum, to the unique Beatles Museum and Magical Mystery Tour celebrating the `Fab Four’ The surrounding region is breathtaking with the Roman city of Chester, the castles of North Wales and the poet Wordsworth’s treasured Lake District just a stones throw away.
