    There's a lot of museums to visit at Albert Dock. I went to the Beatles Story. Other than the museums, there's not that much to see, but this is a major tourist spot.

    This was our first visit to Liverpool and we had to go see Albert Dock when we were there since we had heard so much about it. Didn't find anything special about it just a big area with shops, restaurants and a lot of history. We did enjoy walking around and seeing all the buildings and the docks. It's a very short walk down from the cruise dock and you can take in the Mersey Ferry, the Museum and see all the other historic buildings and sites along the river.

    Albert Dock really is a lovely part of Liverpool, and somewhere I think everyone should visit at least once. There is plenty to see and do, making it a great family-friendly area, and a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool One. When we recently visited, we had the chance to wander through the Winter Wonderland at Liverpool One, through some lovely garden space, and over to the docks. We weren't exactly there with a purpose, more to just take a look around and potentially have some lunch. Unfortunately we found the food offerings quite simple, with little variety; it was a Sunday, so there was mainly roast offerings, and nothing that really stood out as different (leaving us to head back to Salt House Tapas). We did have a lovely walk around, however, and the sun made it all look beautiful.

    This is the No.1 tourist attraction in Liverpool. There are several museums (the Tate Liverpool, and the Maritime Museum as well as the Slavery Museum - in the same building - the Liverpool Museum being close by), but more importantly, it's home to a dozen or so restaurants and cafés strewn along the Albert Dock - most of them fairly pricey. It's a nice area, very photogenic. I DO RECOMMEND The Pumphouse, a lovely pub with a fine selection of ales and lagers and very decent food, on that same dock!

    Anybody visiting Liverpool should go to visit the Albert Dock which should be near the top of their to-do list. The Albert Dock is Liverpool's number one free visitor attraction. Within the dock, popular attractions include the Beatles Story, Bugworld Experience, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and Tate Museum. It is also home to some fantastic shops as well as a great selection of stylish bars, restaurants and hotels. All this of course it situated in a stunning world heritage waterfront setting. One of the interesting facts is that Albert Dock has the largest collection of Grade I - listed buildings in the UK. There are no excuses for not visiting this free attraction which is ideal for bringing anyone along, of all ages!

    The Albert Dock area of Liverpool is quite simply fantastic and a real shining example of all the things which make Liverpool such a special place to be a resident of. This place has everything; there are museums, bars, gift shops the echo arena and much much more it is quite simply a beautiful place to visit. The best thing here is that this place is not only for tourists or locals it encompasses everything you could imagine and want on a day out. On a sunny day there can hardly be a better place to spend your time and you really can find activities to fill an entire day. The Docks has something for everyone and is a joy to behold, basically get down there and check it out you will have a fantastic and fulfilling time. You may need a bit of cash as it is quite upmarket but worth every penny.

    There's nothing aesthetically stunning about the Albert Dock. Built for practicality more than what tourists would make of it in centuries time, the drab series of warehouses fails to really blow you away. Why should it? It's a flooded courtyard of biscuit-colored brick. It's not Vegas. At the time the docks were opened, they were revolutionary. Ships were loaded and unloaded directly from the warehouses and the lack of any structural wood made it the world's first non-combustible warehouse complex. Things like that impressed people back then. Following an intense renovation , the docks were reopened in 1988 by Prince Charles, the great great great grandson of Prince Albert, the docks original ribbon-cutter. Nowadays, the area is one for shopping and dining, rather than a place to watch sailors haggle with prostitutes. Nights out here can be expensive and there's still a sense of detachment from the rest of town but that doesn't stop them the punters piling in. The place is best during the daytime, when you can kick your way across the cobblestones like the Artful Dodger to come and see some historic ship berthed in the river, dwarfing everything else and frightening kids. It's an experience.

    So thankful my tour guide showed us this hidden jewel during our private Beatles tour!!! We stopped…read morein not quite realizing what it was, but thanks to Julie and our tour guide (Joey Lyons), we learned it was a site full of Beatles history and unique memorabilia. I loved the Penny Lane wall on the outside area along with the original yellow submarine...great spots for pics! And inside I was thrilled that the tiny space was selling so many wonderfully unique Beatles items perfect for gift giving and collecting. The prices were reasonable and majority of the inventory was entirely unique. I controlled myself from purchasing every single item and instead purchased a hand-painted tile for my parents, the book "Once Upon a Time in Liverpool" (which my 6 & 3 year old girls loved), a guitar pick, key chains, and I think that was all I bought. I LOVED all their original Beatles prints and tiles and handmade cards but seriously had to hold my hands back from buying out the place! I hope the word gets out about this business because it is not one to be missed for any Beatles fan. The bigger picture of this place is that it's a non-profit to benefit the local community in Liverpool. Julie, the charity manager (I have no idea what her title was honestly!) engaged in conversation with us and was so polite and helpful. My trip to Liverpool taught me how fantastic the city is and how much Paul McCartney still pours his heart and soul (and money) into the city. They hold community events and classes here, so I wish I could have experienced more! I'm thinking this is not a commonly found site for Beatles tourists, so consider yourself told about it now and make it a point to check it out!

    Here stands Liverpool's Diamond in the Rough. This beautiful…read moreorganization - run by Julie Gornell, The Penny Lane Development Trust is a HUB in the community. And, in my heart, by community I mean our Global community as well as the locals who are blessed enough to live and work near PLDT. Everyone the world over is welcome. As for the wonderful local Liverpudlians, Penny Lane Development Trust offers them many, many opportunities to participate in community life, participating, volunteering... being a bigger part of who we are and all we see. Activities are also held there, and they're many and varied... Pilates, creative writing, Yoga, weight loss, art classes... And needless to say THOUSANDS of Beatles fans come every year as it harkens back to many a happy memory of a song by the same name. There's one of a kind Beatles memorabilia in the gift shop area, paintings, books, tile art, jewelry, postcards, tea and coffee cups, T-shirts... they have it all, and quite reasonably priced as well. If you ever are fortunate enough to visit this marvelous city in the north of England, please remember to stop by and say HI to Julie and the rest of the lovely people there at Penny Lane Development Trust. It will be one of the fondest memories of your entire trip. And the kettle is always on. ...Penny Lane is not just ANY Lane. :)

    Manchester Souvenirs & News have had locations popping up all over the city of late as the…read morenewsagents' chain look to expand - this is probably one of my favourite stores they have in the city, and I do like it much more than their newer locations at Arndale Centre Exchange Square, Shudehill and Deansgate, as well as their other location at the other side of Piccadilly Gardens. Refurbished of late to include a Post Office, this is one of the latest opening Post Offices in the area which is open from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening throughout the week, opening a couple of hours later on Sunday and 8 - 8 on Saturday. The Post Office inside this newsagents is all the more important especially with the Town Hall's refurbishment meaning the Post Office there is out of action for now, and this one does seem a little quieter with less queuing compared to the other Post Office in their other store at Piccadilly Plaza. Despite being located in an older building on Mosley Street, close to Primark and Metrolink services, the inside of the store is pretty modern including multiple friendly staff working the store and Post Office checkouts as well as a pretty decent drinks/news selection, although I do find the prices to be a tad higher compared to nearby. 4* - A very innovative idea to add a Post Office into this store after the Town Hall's closer for refurbishment was announced which meant there would still be a Post Office on Mosley Street, while still being a useful store in a good and central location too.
