| Liverpool Travel Guide for backpackers |
| Sorry, can't help it, I have to say it… ‘Liverpool, Home of the Beatles!' (Fade drum roll). There is more than being the spawning grounds of the fab four to Liverpool, but not much.
Football, definitely is one of the things that spring to mind when thinking of the city and festivals… it has even claimed the title ‘Festival City', and is making a bid for the European Capital of Culture for 2008. |

 DAILY BUDGET in LIVERPOOL - $58 a day should see you through on camping, hostelling, and self-catering, but for a more comfortable stay at B&B's with occasional restaurant meals and seeing some of the places the Beatles made famous and the tourist board is now cashing in on, consider spending in the region of $130 a day. |

Albert Dock - Since massive renovations and refurbishment has taken place here the dock has become Liverpool's greatest tourism success and offer museums, shops and bars for the visitors' and locals pleasure alike.
Cavern Quarter - Mathew Street is where the Beatles Week celebrations take place in August, and the site of the famous Cavern Club, where the boys used to play and which was demolished in 1973 but rebuilt in 1984.
