Being Britain's fourth largest city, Liverpool has a rich history, diverse culture, and many elegant buildings. Taking a walk around this city enables travellers to view major attractions and provides opportunity for a more detailed exploration of the town. You can start your walk at Albert Docks, a historic waterfront. Here there is a good selection of shops and restaurants, intermingled with heritage museums like The Merseyside Maritime Museum and The National Slavery Museum. The Merseyside Maritime Museum tells the story of the dock development while the National Slavery Museum acknowledges and explains Liverpool's participation in the slave trade. From the Albert Docks, you can walk to the side of River Mersey and watch the Ferry 'Cross the Mersey' as it leaves the dock. From here, you can also see Liverpool's famous three Graces, which are the Port of Liverpool Building, the Cunard Building, and the Liver Building. After strolling through the dock continue southwards, passing the John Lennon Peace Monument, and reach the Liverpool Festival Gardens. There are beautiful footpaths here, taking you to lovely gardens, shrines, waterways, lakes, and waterfalls. You can walk back to the waterfront and head to the Walker Art Gallery. The gallery houses collections of European fine and decorative art.
Travelers can enjoy visits to Liverpool pretty much all year round, but there are definitely some factors to take into account before booking your travel. For starters, if visitors want to watch a Liverpool or Everton match in the EPL, heading to Liverpool between August and May is essential. If they want to attend the Grand National at Aintree Racecourse, the first weekend in April is the time to book. Otherwise, summer is a good season for sightseeing in the Georgian Quarter, poking around the docks, and following in the footsteps of the Beatles. Any time between June and early September should see mild weather, without too much rain. Music events tend to take place more regularly during the summer, including the International Music Festival, and the Rock and Roll Marathon. Early June also sees the Mersey River Festival take place - offering a range of appealing events at the docks based around wine, art, and science. Alternatively, Christmas is a major celebration in Merseyside, when light shows at the Albert Dock make the waterfront view extra special, while an Ice Festival at Pier Head includes a popular ice rink and 30 meter ice slide. It's a genuine year-round destination.
