The Beatles in Liverpool: 9 Top Places & Map (+Best Tours)

There are many great reasons to visit Liverpool in the UK. The city is known for its museums, culture, and vibrant waterfront. Liverpool’s main attraction, however, is its strong connection to one of the greatest bands the world has ever known – The Beatles .

The city played a huge part in the band’s development. At the time when The Beatles were growing up, many young men from Liverpool were traveling back and forth to New York with the Merchant Navy. Musical influences from the Big Apple started to creep into Liverpool’s culture, triggering a whole new sound in British music – Merseybeat – with the Beatles at the forefront.

There are now countless sights and attractions throughout the city commemorating this amazing band and all of its accomplishments. And no visit to Liverpool would be complete without visiting at least a few places related to The Beatles!

To help you choose where to go, in this article, we highlight the best The Beatles attractions in Liverpool. For each site, we include some practical tips for your visit. You will also find a map showing all the best Beatles sights in Liverpool, and suggested The Beatles tours . Find out!

Top 3 Beatles Experiences in Liverpool:

  • The Beatles Story .
  • Magical Mystery Tour & Cavern Club .
  • Liverpool Beatles Museum .

These are the best The Beatles sights and attractions in Liverpool:

1. The Beatles Story

If you visit just one The Beatles attraction in Liverpool, make it The Beatles Story . This is the largest Beatles exhibition in the world.

Located right on the UNESCO World Heritage site at the Albert Dock, it tells the story of the entire career of the Fab Four. You can listen to one of the band’s hits after another as you view replicas of The Cavern, the Casbah, and other Beatles sites in Liverpool.

You can also see clothing, original instruments, rare album sleeves, and other memorabilia.

An audio guide in 10 different languages is available at the start of your visit. Interestingly, it is narrated by John Lennon’s sister, Julia.

Practical information: The Beatles Story is open daily. The Discovery Zone is open from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. However, these times are subject to change in the winter months, so be sure to check their website ahead of your visit.

We highly recommend buying your tickets online in advance . This is one of the most popular attractions in Liverpool !

The Albert Dock is a 20-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station. There is parking available at the dock if you are visiting by car (although it’s quite expensive). Alternatively, it can be reached by the 800, 500, and 25 bus services.

The Beatles Story Liverpool

Good to know: There are two museums dedicated to The Beatles in Liverpool: The Beatles Story and Liverpool Beatles Museum (formerly known as Magical Beatles Museum). Although both tell the story of the Beatles, they approach it from rather different angles.

You’ll find that Liverpool Beatles Museum gives you a more intimate perspective, whereas The Beatles Story has more of a commercial feel, with immersive and interactive exhibits. The Discovery Zone is especially loved by kids, as it gives them the chance to try out a giant floor piano and perform on a mini Cavern Club stage.

Whilst both museums are excellent, die-hard Beatles fans may find the more personal exhibits at the Liverpool Beatles Museum more interesting. But if you are looking for music, costumes, colors, and simply want to have a great time, The Beatles Story is a better choice.

You can read more about the Liverpool Beatles Museum further below.

Beatles Sgt Pepper costumes

2. The Beatles Statues at Pier Head

These life-size bronze statues of the Fab Four arrived on Liverpool’s waterfront in December 2015, commissioned and donated by the managing director of the Cavern Club.

The statues immortalize a moment just before the band left Liverpool to become megastars and change the face of music forever.

The Beatles Statues at Pier Head quickly became one of the must-visit Beatles spots in Liverpool. Getting a selfie with these statues is now one of the most popular things to do for first-time visitors!

Be sure to check out the interesting details, like the L8 on the sole of Ringo’s shoe (related to where he once lived) or the Sanskrit on George Harrison’s belt. John Lennon is holding two acorns that were cast from acorns collected from outside the Dakota Building, where he was shot in 1980.

Good to know: The date on which the statues were placed on the Pier Head marked the 50th anniversary of the last gig the band played in the city.

You can find the statues in front of the famous Cunard Building, overlooking the River Mersey.

3. Mathew Street

Mathew Street is a small but vibrant alley located right in the city center. It’s here that you will find some of the main Beatles attractions , including the Cavern Club and the Liverpool Beatles Museum (more detail on those below). This area is sometimes referred to as the ‘Cavern Quarter’.

But there are a few more places worth visiting whilst you’re here. One is the Beatles Shop at number 31 Mathew St, about 200ft from the entrance of the original Cavern Club. Quaint and charming, it’s a must-see for die-hard Beatles fans, packed with cool souvenirs and memorabilia.

On a wall along the street – aka The Wall Of Fame – you can see a sculpture entitled ‘Four Lads That Shook the World’, which was created as a tribute by Arthur Dooley.

And just a few doors along from the Cavern Club you’ll come to a pub called ‘The Grapes’ . At the time the Beatles were performing, the Cavern Club didn’t sell alcohol – so The Grapes is where they’d head for a drink after their gigs. Inside the pub, you can see a photo of them sitting on a bench there. The bench remained in the exact same spot to this day!

Good to know: On Stanley Street just nearby, look out for the Eleanor Rigby statue . Sitting on a stone bench next to a plaque dedicated to ‘All the Lonely People’, this bronze statue was created by musician and artist Tommy Steele in 1981.

The Beatles Shop on Mathew Street in Liverpool

4. Cavern Club

The Cavern Club is undoubtedly the most famous Beatles venue in Liverpool! Although the building we see today was actually rebuilt from the bricks of the original club which closed in March 1973.

It was here that the Beatles cut their musical teeth, playing regularly during lunchtime and evening shows. It was also the venue in which they were discovered by Brian Epstein, a local record shop proprietor who managed the band from 1962 until his death in 1967.

This lively cellar is an amazing place to visit and has played host to fabulous live music for decades. You can enjoy everything here from acoustic sets to rock and roll, with plenty of Beatles tribute bands to remind you of where it all started. There are also lots of great photographs and memorabilia lining the walls.

As you enter the club, don’t miss the statue outside depicting John Lennon casually leaning against the wall.

Good to know: The Cavern Club gets very busy, especially during evenings and weekends. If you just want to take a look inside, you can avoid the crowds by visiting soon after opening, before the live bands take to the stage.

Practical information: The Cavern is open daily from 11 am. It closes at midnight from Sunday to Wednesday, at 1 am on Thursdays, and at 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets for entry can be bought at the door. Children under 12 are free but all children under 18 must leave the club by 8 pm. You can find more information and info on current shows and events on their website .

TIP: The entrance to the Cavern Club is included with the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour – one of the most popular things to do in Liverpool for the Beatles fans. You can read more about it further below at #9.

5. Liverpool Beatles Museum

Liverpool Beatles Museum (aka Magical History Museum) is spread over three floors of a Grade-II listed building on Mathew Street in Liverpool. Featuring items from the personal collection of the ‘fifth Beatle’ Pete Best’s brother Roag – it gives you a whole new perspective on the band! It is also one of the largest collections of authentic items in the world and is beautifully curated.

Charting their lives from their early days up to and beyond their rise to international fame, it contains original instruments, the John Lennon Sgt Pepper medals, Paul McCartney’s bass amp, and more. For a more personal insight, you can read letters along with fascinating unseen footage. Everything is chronologically laid out, so it makes it easy and enjoyable to follow the Beatles’ story from the very start.

TIP: Make sure you set aside enough time for your visit. It takes a good 2-3 hours to explore the vast collection of items.

Good to know: Because this is a listed building, there is no elevator. This might make a visit difficult for anyone with limited mobility, as there are three flights of stairs.

Practical information: The museum is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. You can book your tickets online .

Liverpool Beatles Museum

6. Strawberry Field

Strawberry Field is another popular Beatles attraction in Liverpool. This was a Salvation Army children’s home at the time when John lived close by with his aunt and uncle. It is believed that he had happy memories of going to summer garden parties there as a child, inspiring the 1967 hit ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.

The home has now gone but in its place is an interactive visitor exhibition center, with a cafe and shop. There are lots of calm garden spaces that you are invited to explore and reflect in, just as John would have done as a child. You can also see replicas of the site’s famous red gates.

The chief attraction, however, is the ‘Imagine’ piano. Loaned to the exhibition by the estate of the late George Michael, this is the piano that John Lennon used to create one of the most important peace anthems of the 20th century.

Good to know: Some of the profits from this attraction go towards funding the ‘Steps at Strawberry Field’ programs, designed to help those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.

Practical information: Strawberry Fields is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. Entrance to the gardens is free but there is a fee to visit the exhibition You can book tickets online in advance .

The venue has a minibus shuttle service that runs from the Jury’s Inn Hotel at Albert Dock. It costs £4 one way or £7 return, departing at 9 am, 10 am, 11.15 am, 2.30 pm, 3.30 pm, and 4.30 pm. Alternatively, you can take local bus route 76 from the Liverpool One Bus Station and get off at Beaconsfield Road. The journey takes around half an hour.

The Beatles sights in Liverpool - Strawberry Field

7. Casbah Coffee Club

The Cavern Club may be the place most often associated with The Beatles, but The Casbah was where they held some of their first live performances. Indeed, Sir Paul McCartney has said in the past that it was at the Casbah where everything started and that all the band members saw it as their ‘personal club’.

The basement club was opened by Mona Best – mum to Pete Best, The Beatles’ original drummer – in an attempt to match the coffee bar clubs popular in London at the time. Its resident band was ‘The Quarrymen’, which included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. So closely involved that they even helped decorate it, they went on to perform here 44 times.

When you visit now, you can see the Casbah just as it looked in the beginning. You can even see a silhouette of John Lennon on the wall, painted by his then-girlfriend Cynthia (who later became his wife). Perfect for true Beatles fans, it has a much less commercialized feel than venues like the Cavern Club and offers a very authentic Beatles experience in Liverpool.

The guides here will have had a personal connection to the band or experience growing up with them. Occasionally, tours are even conducted by Pete Best’s brother, Roag.

Practical information: You need to make an appointment to visit the Casbah Coffee Club, which you can book through Pete Best’s website . Although, their contact form is really sketchy, so it might not be straightforward.

Good to know: This place is quite far from the other Beatles-related sights of Liverpool and isn’t reached by any of the standard tours. The best way to get there is by the number 15 bus, which leaves the city center frequently. The journey takes around half an hour.

8. The Jacaranda Club

The Jacaranda Club, also known as ‘The Jac’, was founded in 1957 by Allan Williams, the first manager of The Beatles. Originally friends with the early Beatles bassist Stuart Sutcliffe, he got to know the rest of the band whilst they were still teenagers.

One of their early compositions – ‘One After 909’ – was written at the Jacaranda, a bar in which they would often meet. The Beatles performed here several times too, and the time they spent here is seen as pivotal to their future success.

These days you can catch live music every night at the basement level or visit Liverpool’s favorite jukebox on the ground floor. Above the ground floor is the venue’s unique Record Store. Here you’ll find vinyl record players sunk into the tables, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of music along with your coffee or drinks.

With a distinct ’60s beatnik vibe, quirky decor, and a plethora of Beatles photos lining the walls, this place is a ‘must-see’ for true fans of the Fab Four.

Practical information: The Jacaranda Club is open from 3 pm to 3 am Monday to Thursday, and from 3 pm to 4 am Friday to Sunday. It’s a 5-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street railway station, just around the corner from Mathew Street.

9. The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour

If you don’t have time to go and see all of The Beatles’ attractions in Liverpool separately, then the Magical Mystery Tour is the perfect solution.

Starting at the Albert Dock, this highly-rated 2-hour tour takes you to some key locations in the Beatles’ story all over Liverpool. You’ll learn lots of facts about the band and get to enjoy plenty of their music along the way.

Places you will see include the childhood homes and schools of the bandmates, along with Penny Lane, St Peter’s Church Hall (where John and Paul met), and Strawberry Field. There are lots of stops for taking photos and the tour ends at Mathew Street. Free entry to the Cavern Club that day is included with this tour.

Practical information: Tours depart at the Magical Mystery Tour Ticket Office, Anchor Courtyard, Albert Dock. I strongly recommend booking your tickets online in advance as these tours are hugely popular and sell out quickly!

Liverpool Beatles Magical Mystery Tour

More Beatles Attractions In Liverpool

If you have time, there are a few more interesting Beatles-related sights dotted throughout Liverpool that you might want to visit.

Eleanor Rigby’s grave , St Peter’s Church, Woolton: It is unclear whether this was the grave that inspired the 1966 song. Nevertheless, this is the churchyard where John and Paul met for the first time. It is also where John Lennon’s uncle and aunt are buried.

Penny Lane , Mossley Hill: This is the street that inspired the 1967 hit. Unfortunately, it contains few of the details mentioned in the song, so it can be a little disappointing to visit!

Yellow Submarine , Liverpool John Lennon Airport: This large model was created by a group of apprentices from Cammell Laird’s shipyard in 1984. It formed part of an exhibition and was featured in a Beatles-themed garden. 51 feet long and 15 feet high, it even has a replica control cabin with real equipment. It was finally placed on display at the airport in 1995.

Map of The Beatles Sights in Liverpool

To help you plan your time, we created this map indicating all The Beatles places mentioned in this article.

As you can see, most sights are located in the city center. And – as mentioned before – you can also see many of the places that are further away by taking the Magical Mystery Tour .

How to use this map:  Use your computer mouse (or fingers) to zoom in or out. Click on the icons to get more information about each place. Click the arrow on the top left corner for the index.

Liverpool Beatles Tours

If you want to learn more about the Beatles in a short time, one of the best ways to do this is by taking a dedicated Beatles tour.

There are several options.

  • Magical Mystery Tour . Already mentioned above, this is by far the most popular Beatles tour in Liverpool. It includes a visit to the Cavern Club as well.
  • Beatles Explorer Bus . This is a similar bus tour that covers many sights in Liverpool related to the Fabulous Four. The itinerary is pretty much the same as the Magical Mystery Tour. The main difference between the two is that this one is an open-deck bus and that it doesn’t include a ticket to the Cavern Club (which you can visit separately).
  • Private Tour by Traditional Taxi . This is a great option for those who rather explore Beatles sites in Liverpool with a personal guide. Also, this tour brings you to the childhood homes of the Fab Four, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Eleanor Rigby’s grave, etc.
  • Walking Tour . This tour is actually a combination of two guided tours (City & Cavern Quarter and The Beatles and Waterfront) and a self-guided app. It’s very different from all the others because it focuses on The Beatles landmarks in the center of Liverpool. You can just do one of the tours or both, and the ticket is flexible and valid for 3 days.

I hope you have found this guide to the best Beatles attractions helpful.

It is wonderful to see the real places that inspired the music of this world-famous band and to appreciate live music at venues in which they would have performed.

Have a great time in Liverpool!

The Beatles in Liverpool [Top 13 Places to Visit]

By: Author Tracy Collins

Posted on Last updated: August 2, 2023

If you want to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles in Liverpool, then you’re far from alone. Arguably the biggest band ever and certainly the most successful British group, the influence of the Beatles on the popular music scene can never be overstated. 

Whether you want to take a Beatles tour in Liverpool or create your own by visiting all the key sites, this guide will walk you through all the places you need to know about. From the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool to Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and the Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool , these are the spots to stay at and see for yourself. 

This article was written by a former resident of Liverpool, who has lived just streets away from Penny Lane, drank at the Dovedale Towers pub there and partied until the small hours at The Cavern. When you have lived there, you come to realise how much the Beatles are central to the very heart and (rubber) soul of this city. So if you plan to visit, paying homage to the band is an unmissable part of the experience. 

For all you need to know about taking an organised or DIY Beatles Magical Mystery Tour in Liverpool, read on. Here are 13 of the top spots to visit when you want to imagine what Liverpool life was like for the Fab Four.

The Beatles in Liverpool in the Cavern Club.

  • Where: 10 Mathew Street, Liverpool L2 6RE
  • When: 11 am to midnight Sunday to Wednesday, 11 am to 1 am Friday, 11 am to 2 am Saturday
  • Why: 60s nightclub known as the birthplace of the Beatles
  • Fun fact: Later in the night, the Cavern’s ceiling drips due to condensation build-up

The Cavern in Liverpool is probably the number one best-known Beatles site in the city. It’s known as the birthplace of the band, and the late UK TV star Cilla Black also famously worked there around the same time. On Mathew Street, this underground Beatles club in Liverpool is centrally located and therefore easy to reach. 

Liverpool residents often meet at The Cavern before dancing the night away. So it’s not just a tourist attraction, but a thriving nightclub in its own right. Live music is played daily and it’s open until midnight or later.

The Beatles in Liverpool Hard Days Night Hotel

  • Where: Central Buildings, North John St, Liverpool L2 6RR
  • When: Open 24 hours
  • Why: Beatles themed hotel in central Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter
  • Fun fact: The hotel is set in a Grade II listed Victorian building with marble columns

If you’re a die-hard Beatles fan, then there’s only one place to stay in Liverpool. The Hard Day’s Night hotel. Located in the Cavern Quarter in the city centre, it’s adorned with Beatles artwork and has a Live Lounge on site. 

When you don’t want to stay over at this Beatles hotel in Liverpool, you can book a table at Blake’s Restaurant, drop into the Lounge Bar, have a cocktail at Bar Four or visit the music venue. Though with four star service, stylish accommodation, slick service, surprisingly affordable room rates and top ratings, we can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t want to.

The Beatles in Liverpool Magical Mystery Tour

  • Where: Beatles Magical Mystery Tour office, 32 Gower Street, Liverpool L3 4AS
  • When: Operates daily
  • Why: Beatles tour of Liverpool including childhood homes and the Cavern Club
  • Fun fact: The yellow and blue tour bus is a study in 60s psychedelia

The distinctive blue and yellow bus decorated with rainbows leaves you in no doubt about what visitors on board have come to the city to see. Take this Beatles tour in Liverpool and you can learn all about how John, Paul, George, and Ringo grew up – and got together. 

Along the way you’ll see the Fab Four’s childhood homes, plus sites that inspired songs like Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane, before ending up at the iconic Cavern Club. In fact this is the only Beatles bus tour in Liverpool to end there, and your ticket includes entry with live music provided.

The Beatles in Liverpool Beatles Statue in the day

  • Where: Pier Head, Liverpool L3 1BY
  • Why: 2015 bronze statue of the Fab Four by sculptor Andy Edwards
  • Fun fact: The statue was donated to the city by none other than the Cavern Club

Unveiled in 2015, Andy Edwards’ bronze statues of the Fab Four strolling around their home city was an instant hit. On the waterfront, the figures are larger than life and of course this is a mega-popular spot for a selfie. 

There are some interesting details hidden in the figures. These include John Lennon having acorns in his hand that were cast from those collected in New York outside the Dakota Building, where the musician last lived and was assassinated. Ringo Starr also has L8 stamped onto his shoe – after the city postcode district in which he grew up. 

  • Where: 11-17 Harrington Street, Liverpool L2 9QA
  • When: Midday to 11 pm Monday to Thursday, midday to 1 pm Friday, 11 am to 1 am Saturday, 11 am to 11 pm Sunday
  • Why: Laid-back bar and kitchen with a Beatles theme and pub vibe
  • Fun fact: The real Abbey Road studios are of course in London, not Liverpool

Abbey Road in Liverpool is indeed a thing – even though the studios of the same name are located in London . In Liverpool, the name refers to a relaxed, pub-style bar and eatery serving burgers, pizza and other pub grub. 

Abbey Road is family run and can be found on Harrington Street in the Cavern Quarter. As well as enjoying food, drink and a friendly welcome here, you can also play pool, listen to live music and watch live sport. 

  • Where: 9 Mathew Street, Liverpool L2 6RE
  • When: 10 am to 11 pm Sunday to Wednesday, 10 am to 2 am Thursday, 10 am to 3 am Friday and Saturday
  • Why: Vibrant Cavern Quarter bar with live sports and weekend DJ nights
  • Fun fact: The venue is named after the Beatles’ 1965 sixth studio album 

Rubber Soul in Liverpool is where to go when you fancy a late one. It’s open until 3 am on Friday and Saturday nights, though of course you don’t have to stay that long! DJs spin the tunes then, or you can keep up with the city’s football teams on the big screens. 

This bar calls itself ‘Mathew Streets #1 Bar… the absolute epitome of Liverpool nightlife.’ We guess there’s only one way to find out for yourself if you agree with that sentiment…

  • Where: Britannia Vaults, Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4AD
  • When: 9 am to 5 pm daily
  • Why: Award winning Liverpool museum charting the life and times of the Fab Four
  • Fun fact: Owned by MerseyTravel who run Mersey Ferries and other public transport 

The Beatles Story is the place to go to get a full overview of the life and times of John, Paul, George and Ringo. This museum has won awards for the quality of its displays and exhibits. Frankly, it’s worth visiting just to see the wow-inducing collection of memorabilia. And the Beatles in India section.

Key sites are also covered here, so you don’t need to visit them individually. There are replicas of The Cavern Club and Mathew Street, and you can also see behind the scenes at Abbey Road studios. There’s even a faithful reproduction of the Casbah Coffee Club in Liverpool’s West Derby area.

251 Menlove Avenue in the Woolton suburb of Liverpool was John Lennon’s childhood home, and is now run by the National Trust. Likewise, 20 Forthlin Road in Allerton was home to Paul McCartney when he was growing up.

You can take a combined tour of the two homes by booking in advance with these National Trust Liverpool Beatles attractions. Visiting really brings home the humble beginnings of the world’s biggest band. 

LISTEN: Episode #29 UK Travel Planning Podcast – How to book a stay in George Harrison’s childhood home in Liverpool

  • Where: Liverpool, L2 6RE
  • Why: Home to the Cavern Club and other venues, and Liverpool’s Beatles central 
  • Fun fact: Named a fter Mathew Pluckington, a local agricultural landowner

Mathew Street in Liverpool is often the first port of call for any Beatles fan. It’s where the Cavern Club can be found, plus the Liverpool Beatles Museum and shop. Rubber Soul bar is also located here, as is The Grapes, a pub frequented by the Fab Four. 

Other things to look out for in the Mathew Street – or Cavern Quarter – area include the Arthur Dooley sculpture called ‘Four Lads That Shook The World’ at The Wall Of Fame. There’s also an ‘ All The Lonely People’ statue on nearby Stanley Street, referencing Eleanor Rigby. 

The Beatles in Liverpool Strawberry Field

  • Where: Beaconsfield Road, Liverpool L25 6EJ
  • When: 10 am to 6 pm daily
  • Why: Immortalised in the Beatles song Strawberry Fields
  • Fun fact: The site was once a Salvation Army children’s home

  • Where: Liverpool L18 1DE
  • Why: As featured in the Beatles song Penny Lane
  • Fun fact: The street signs are painted on here after being repeatedly stolen

There’s not that much to see on Penny Lane – but simply seeing it is more than enough for some keen fans of the Fab Four. You can’t steal a street sign as they’re all painted on nowadays, but you can drop into the historic Dovedale Towers pub for food and drinks while you’re here. 

  • Where: Yellow Sub, Dempster Buildings, Atlantic Way, Liverpool L3 4BE
  • When: 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Sunday
  • Why: Children’s play centre and cafe serving home cooked food 
  • Fun fact: A while ago, you could also stay in a floating yellow submarine in Liverpool

If you want a bit of light relief for the kids while in Liverpool, then the Yellow Sub is the place to be. It’s positioned near Albert Dock and offers soft play plus a cafe serving delicious homemade fare. No booking is needed; simply arrive before 5 pm daily except on Mondays.

Your Beatles experience in Liverpool is all there for the taking. Whether you choose to wander the streets of the Cavern Quarter, take a Magical Mystery Tour or stay at the Hard Day’s Night Hotel. 

If you prefer, you can head a little out of town to visit sites such as Penny Lane, Lennon and McCartney’s childhood homes or Strawberry Field(s). Wherever you go, delving into the history of the world’s most famous band is surely a must when in Merseyside!

Retracing the Beatles' steps in Liverpool is the highlight of this British Isles cruise

beatles tour bus liverpool

LIVERPOOL, England – Sixty-four years ago the Beatles embarked on a long and winding road toward international superstardom, ultimately becoming what many consider to be the most influential, culturally significant and celebrated band in pop-music history.

All these decades later, Beatlemania has barely missed a beat.  

Nowhere is this more apparent than this city on the River Mersey in northwest England, where John, Paul, George and Ringo were born, raised and played their first gigs together.       

The Beatles’ far-reaching and colorful legacy is one of the main reasons Liverpool attracts more than a million tourists each year – double the city’s population. According to a government report, Beatles-related tourism to Liverpool brings in more than $150 million annually and supports 2,500 jobs.

I recently joined the throng of nostalgia-hungry Beatles fans during a visit to Liverpool, a port stop midway through a two-week cruise around the British Isles on the 2,668-passenger Holland America Rotterdam. 

Day-tripper: Seeing the Beatles sites in Liverpool in 1 day

Unfortunately, I had to cram all of my Beatles sightseeing — including visits to two museums and venues where the group honed their musicianship and the places that inspired some of their songs — into just one jam-packed day before our ship set sail for Wales.

Yes, to borrow the words of Lennon and McCartney, I was a day-tripper.

I was on a sold-out tour with 43 fellow cruise-ship passengers called “In the Footsteps of the Fab Four.” The excursion was led by John Bruce, a Liverpool musician and guide who proudly noted that he was born in the same hospital as John Lennon. 

“She’s got a ticket to ride,” he quipped as a woman boarded the bus at the start of the tour. It was the first in a day full of references to Beatles songs and amusing — and sometimes poignant — stories.

John Lennon's orange glasses and the famous bronze statue of the Fab 4

We started on Liverpool’s waterfront at the Royal Albert Dock, a mid-19th-century complex of dock buildings and warehouses that also houses several museums, hotels, bars and restaurants.

At the dock a sign in front of the popular Beatles Story museum beckoned us inside to learn “the story of the band that changed the world.” It features re-creations of key locations and events in the band’s career and includes fascinating pieces of original memorabilia. There are sections on each band member’s solo career following the group’s breakup in 1970. 

It was especially moving to see John Lennon’s iconic orange-tinted spectacles, which he was wearing when he wrote the 1971 song “Imagine.” Lennon was fatally shot outside his New York City apartment nine years later. 

Two blocks away is the most popular selfie spot in Liverpool: a bronze statue of the Beatles, inspired by a 1963 photo of the group strolling along the River Mersey. The statue was unveiled in 2015 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the Beatles' last performance in Liverpool.  

Exploring the Cavern Club and other Beatles haunts on Mathew Street

Many of Liverpool’s must-see sites related to the Beatles are clustered on Mathew Street, less than a mile east of the Beatles statue. You’ll know you’re in the vicinity when you pass the Hard Days Night Hotel, the Hey Jude Hair and Beauty Salon and the Rubber Soul bar.

Mathew Street is home to the legendary Cavern Club, where the Beatles played an astonishing 292 times between 1961 and 1963 when they surged to prominence on the Liverpool music scene. 

The original Cavern Club was demolished in 1973 but reopened 10 years later at a spot 20 yards down the block, using the same dimensions and many of the club’s original bricks. The Cavern Club still hosts live music; McCartney performed there as recently as 2018. 

Across the street is a statue of a young John Lennon and the Wall of Fame, which showcases 58 records from Liverpool-based artists that reached No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart. Besides the Beatles, Liverpool has produced numerous other hitmakers, including Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Searchers and Cilla Black, who once worked as a hat-check girl at the Cavern.

The Liverpool Beatles Museum, another attraction on Mathew Street, has more than 1,000 items of Beatles memorabilia displayed on three floors. I especially enjoyed seeing two of the original seats from Shea Stadium, where the Beatles played a landmark concert in 1965 in front of 55,000 screaming fans. The museum is owned by the family of Pete Best, the Beatles’ original drummer who was fired by the group in 1962 and replaced with Ringo Starr.

Seeing Penny Lane and Strawberry Field in south Liverpool

After visiting Mathew Street, we drove through south Liverpool and passed by the Beatles’ childhood homes and schools. We stopped at Penny Lane, which Paul McCartney immortalized in a 1967 song that was a tribute to his Liverpool upbringing. Over the years, Beatles fans have pilfered so many of the Penny Lane street signs that the city has had to affix them to metal posts.    

We also stopped at the entrance to Strawberry Field — formerly the site of a Salvation Army children's home — where John Lennon played as a child. It inspired him to write the 1967 song “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

Bruce, who has been leading Beatles tours for six years, played the two songs over the bus’s sound system — along with his own recording of “Let it Be” — while he offered his interpretation of the songs' meaning.       

“I’m a musician and I have a passion for the Beatles,” he says. “When you reveal the reasons about why they wrote some of their songs, it’s incredible. Sometimes I’ve had people at Penny Lane with big tears in their eyes because it means so much to them.”

British Isles cruise on the Holland America Rotterdam

The cruise started and ended in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where the Holland America line was founded 151 years ago. The Rotterdam ship, which took its maiden voyage in 2021, is the newest addition to Holland America’s fleet of 11 ships. 

Our sailing was close to capacity, with more than 2,600 passengers, about half of whom were Americans. There was also a large contingent of Dutch passengers; all of the ship’s announcements were made in both English and Dutch. Cruises to the British Isles typically run from late April through October.    

We stopped in 10 ports over the course of two weeks in such places as Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown Dependency that was the birthplace of another famous pop group, the Bee Gees.

But it was Liverpool — and my pilgrimage to trace the footsteps of a group that produced so much groundbreaking and enduring music — that I’ll remember the most.     

Fittingly, as our bus returned to the cruise pier at the end of the tour, Bruce ended his commentary with yet one more reference to a popular Beatles song.

“Congratulations,” he told us. “You’ve just spent a day in the life of the Fab Four.”

Public transport for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Liverpool: what you need to know

All the info you’ll need to get to the Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium this week

Amy Houghton

It’s officially begun. Taylor Swift has officially touched down in Britain and commenced her UK leg of the Eras Tour. And following an epic three nights in Edinburgh , Liverpool’s up next. 

From June 13 to June 15, a total of over 150,000 Swifties will be descending on Anfield Stadium (usually the home of Liverpool Football Club). To avoid missing out on the pre-concert buzz (and Paramore’s supporting set), you’ll need to figure out exactly how you’re getting to the venue.

Make sure to leave with plenty of time to spare, Liverpool is about to get packed. Here’s all the travel details you need to know. 

TAYLOR SWIFT'S ERAS TOUR IN LIVERPOOL 💎  The ultimate guide to the Eras Tour in Liverpool . |👚  How to buy official Taylor Swift merch in Liverpool for her Eras Tour . 🏟️  Taylor Swift Anfield Stadium seating map . 🎤  Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the UK .

How to get to Taylor Swift concerts in Liverpool

Bus driver strikes are happening at the same time that Taylor is in town, meaning there’s likely to be some disruption. 

Stagecoach will be running the 917 shuttle bus from Commutation Row in the city centre to a pick-up and drop-off point on Arkles Road, next to the stadium. The service will start at 3.30pm each day. You can also hop on the 26 from Liverpool ONE bus station, the 17 from Queen Square Bus Station. Then there’s the 68/168 services between Bootle and Aigburth and the 14 and 19 from Queen Square which all stop a short walk from the ground. 

Train 

One of the closest train stations to Anfield is Lime Street Railway Station. It’s around two miles from the stadium and there will be a support team there to help you find transport direct to the stadium. 

You could also get the train to Sandhills or Kirkdales stations, which are both a 30-minute walk to the venue. If you don’t fancy the walk, there will be a concert bus costing £1.60 for adults and 80p for kids.

There won’t be any public parking available at the stadium itself. Liverpool FC warns that due to crowds and road closures there will be long waiting times for those wanting to use the drop off and pick up point on Utting Avenue.  Drivers will be best off finding parking in the city centre and hopping on a bus from there (find all the bus info above).

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
