Great Virtual Tours of Liverpool

*Remunerated Post*

Thanks to technology, I can go places from the comfort of my own armchair with some great virtual tours of Liverpool. This lockdown situation is certainly having it’s benefits at the moment as one of the things I have always wanted to do is visit the home of the Beatles.

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology and the people from Liverpool One, you can explore some of the city’s most famous landmarks. They have put together a list of virtual tours of some well known locations and you can even learn about their history and significance.

Here are 3 virtual tours of Liverpool which I shall be adding to my list of things to do whilst in quarantine.

The Pier Head: Three Graces

The Three Graces consist of the Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building and are all situated on Liverpool’s Pier Head. These are probably the most recognisable buildings in the City and are the areas which come to mind instantly when I think of Liverpool.

Your walk starts at Paradise Street where you proceed along to enjoy the whole of the Pier which includes the buildings mentioned above.

Merseyside Maritime Museum

Not far from the Pier Head – and the image which reminds me of Richard and Judy hosting This Morning – is the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

The Museum is located in the heart of the Albert Dock and is a great place to explore and uncover the development of the world famous port and how it became the gateway to the new world. Included are boats, paintings, ship models, ship wrecked objects, uniforms and more. Families can also learn about Liverpool’s role in The Battle of the Atlantic during World War Two.

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral

A Grade II listed building, the Cathedral is officially known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. It has also been nicknamed ‘Paddy’s Wigwam’ by locals due to it’s shape.

The design won awards following it’s construction in 1967 by architect Frederick Gibberd. The unique shape allows a congregation of 2,000 people to be able to see the altar at once.
