CRUISE ARRIVALS
During 2011 Liverpool will welcome over 25,000 cruise passengers travelling on 13 vessels. We understand that when visiting a City by sea it is vital to plan and make the most of your time, so search our site and see what we’ve got to offer.
As you approach Liverpool you will realise that you are virtually right in the City centre. A taxi will cost around £4 to get you to the top of Mathew Street and you will be right at the heart of the action for Beatles and shopping.
If you fancy a walk it’s a leisurely 15 minute stroll using Mathew Street as your focal point. Just ask for directions along The Strand, left up Water Street turning right at The Town Hall along Castle Street left down Cook Street then over to your right is Mathew Street.
For Beatles visit The Gallery at The Hard Days Night Hotel for an ever changing range of official Beatles merchandise. Here you can collect your free map of Beatle Village showing 20 sites of special interest around The World famous Cavern Club.
You can also book your Fabcabs of Liverpool private taxi tour here or make your way to Liverpool One - Europe’s largest shopping mall.

We start with a Beatles and City classic tour visiting such memorable places as Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Beatles homes, schools and birthplaces. This route will include Liverpool’s world famous waterfront, The Georgian Quarter, Chinatown and a stop at The Anglican Cathedral.
Tour Time = 3 hours
For lunch we reserve a table at The Grapes pub on Mathew Street.
Tour Time = 1 hour
Traditional food is on offer during the day and the menu includes typical English dishes. Nowadays the Grapes has become a shrine to the Beatles, not unlike the Cavern. The snug backroom of the Grapes is filled with memorabilia, photographs and the like. (There is one particular photograph of the Beatles that was taken of them while they sipped a beer at the Grapes.) The photograph is prominently displayed and shows the "four lads" sitting on a bench which still exists in the same location from the early days. Even the wallpaper shown in the picture remains preserved on the wall above where the Beatles once sat and is covered with a protective glass. The photograph is accompanied by a small plaque on the wall, above the fireplace, describing the event. Of course you can still sit on the same seats that the Beatles sat on and take a break, with a well prepared meal and glass of your favourite wine or beer.
After lunch
A walking tour of Beatle Village, the area around The Cavern Club to see 20 sites of Beatle interest

Tour Time = 1 hour
