For those on the culture trail, follow the signs to St Georges Hall, which is one of the finest Neo-classical buildings in the world. After gazing in awe, you can stroll across to the Walker Art Gallery and view the collection of old Masters. Next door is the Liverpool Museum and Planetarium. Children will love the outstanding displays from the natural world and the inner mysteries of outer space. Spaced-out? Then you could indulge in some light refreshment at the museum or gallery. If you have time, you could pop down the road to Rumford Street and visit the Western Approaches Museum. Here you can search the underground labyrinth of rooms that were once the top-secret nerve centre in 1940s wartime Britain.

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.
