Set in The famous Albert Docks, this is one of Liverpool’s most popular tourist attractions. Step back in time to experience the story of the Beatles through a fantastic selection of memorabilia as well recreations of key locations in the band’s career including Hamburg, The Cavern Club, Abbey Road Studios and more. While you’re there, you can grab a free multi-media audio guide narrated John Lennon’s sister Julia, which provides lots of fascinating information and imagery. With exclusive video interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, even the band’s biggest fans can learn something new.
