Liverpool, Merseyside L2 6RE

Undoubtedly the most famous club in the world, this was the birthplace of a music revolution that changed things forever. The original club closed down in 1973 to make way for an underground rail link; it moved to its present site in 1976. The club witnessed almost 300 performances by the Beatles and it was here that Paul McCartney played his last gig of the 20th century. In addition to live entertainment, there are three rooms for different tastes in music including retro, dance and party.

+44 151 709 3221
Europe's oldest Chinatown is situated on the outskirts of the city centre and is conspicuous by a spectacular 44ft high Chinese arch. Marking the gateway into the Chinese community, a team of Shanghai workman erected the arch in just 90 days. This magnificent example of Chinese art contains 200 hand carved dragons, 188 traditional dragons and 12 pregnant dragons.

A local legend says that the city would be submerged under water if the birds ever flew away, oh yes and Elvis is still alive. The building is also distinguished by two towers adorned with the largest public striking clocks in Britain. Tours can be arranged by contacting the building manager. Admission: free .

St George's Hall


Finest Greco-Roman building in Europe
Lime Street
Liverpool, Merseyside L1 1JJ
United Kingdom
+44 151 707 2391
Described as the finest Greco-Roman building in Europe, this magnificent landmark is a fine example of the outstanding architecture within the city. Built in 1842, this Grade I listed building was originally built as a concert hall and two assize courts. The original architect Harvey Lonsdale Elmes died of consumption before the building was complete and his successor ,Charles Robert Cockerell ,altered the design so that the interior resembled a Roman public bath. The Great Hall is famed for the Minton tiled floor, the Willis Organ, vaulted ceiling, fine sculpture and plasterwork. The assizes courts and the concert room are often seen in film and television productions.
