Liverpool's fortunes have historically been tied to shipping. But imports and exports like sugar, spice and tobacco pale in comparison with Liverpool's most famous export of all—the Beatles. Relive the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience, and check out Paul's childhood home, but also leave time for exploring Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery.

4. St. Peter's Church, Woolton
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
We are a lovely Anglican Church located in Woolton village, South Liverpool. The cornerstone for the current Church was laid in 1886, and it was built from local sandstone. The 90-ft high bell tower contains 8 bells and is the highest point in Liverpool with fabulous views of Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and the Welsh hills. Inside are many fine features, including a wonderful Church organ and a beautiful set of stained glass windows, designed by the famous artist Charles Kempe. The two smaller windows were removed from the original church and were designed by William Morris. St Peter's Church is most famous for being the location where John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957, and the Lennon-McCartney partnership was born. The Church graveyard provides the final resting place for 'our' Eleanor Rigby, as well as John Lennon's uncle, George Toogood Smith, and Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of Liverpool Football Club.

We stopped by St Peter's to see Eleanor Rigbys headstone. Made famous by Lennon and McCartney. We then walked around the church yard to see all the lonely people. A very nice church and yard.
5. Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King Liverpool

4.5 based on 3,057 reviews
A 15-minute walk from its Anglican counterpart along Hope Street, 1960s' "futurism" best describes the exterior of what's locally know as "Paddy's Wigwam." The huge interiors illuminated by natural light through the exquisite stained glass is worth the journey itself.

The Cathedral was only completed in 1978. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott when he was only 22 years old. It is a great space, without pillars or pews, the space is able to host huge concerts, exhibitions and fine dining on the main floor. The tower is 110m high and is the best view in the city.

The only medieval church in Liverpool, England.
Reviewed By Scousescout17 - Liverpool, United Kingdom
Although I’m not a parishioner I have visited on numerous occasions and never fail to be impressed by its simple grandeur. Dating back to 12th century it has many fascinating features. Amongst them are the font on the right of the altar which is now at nee height but was originally at waist height. The floor of the church having been levelled whereas it originally sloped down toward the altar. The “leper window” (now at ground level) where those not permitted to enter could view services. Many ancient brasses from which you can take rubbings (with prior permission) and finally the tombstones both inside and out that date back centuries. Well worth a visit even for those of different or no faiths.
8. Al Rahma Mosque
