Liverpool's magnificent waterfront, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflects the city's former role as Britain's second port and gateway to the New World. The city gave the world The Beatles, commemorated in numerous attractions from the Cavern Club to the Beatles Story museum. Two cathedrals bookend Hope Street, lined with Georgian townhouses, theatres, and restaurants. World-class museums including Tate Liverpool and the Museum of Liverpool are free to enter, while the rejuvenated Albert Dock combines maritime heritage with modern attractions and dining.
