Liverpool, between the Beatles and street art

Since I currently reside in Cork, Ireland, any British airport is within a one-hour flight: London, Liverpool, and Manchester are all close by and the ideal locations for a weekend away from home. I have been some times in London so I made the decision to visit the Merseyside city where the Beatles were born and raised because it had ties to my current city's past. The first Liverpool mayor was from Cork and many Irish people used Liverpool as the chance for a fresh new start after the "death of the Celtic Tiger".

Liverpool Cathedral

Before the end of the 1970s, Liverpool city lacked a cathedral; the current cathedral was completed in 1978. It's not a church like the others, anyway. The first portion of the building is always home to creative installations. When I came there in September 2023, you might have seen an artistic installation made up of numerous light columns with many images embellishing it. These images represent citizens of Liverpool. A pianist is playing the piano while the columns are constantly changing colours to create a beautiful ambiance.

Street art

I adore searching for street art by glancing up at the walls and buildings wherever I go. I'm always curious to see how fantastical or wacky the local artists are. Naturally, Liverpool did not disappoint me.

The Beatles and Jurgen Klopp are the subjects who are most frequently portrayed in Liverpool. One of the most well-known bands of all time, the former elevated Liverpool to a global level in the latter half of the 20th century. The latter is a contemporary symbol for the local football fans; his smile and his recent success have been among the most talked-about topics in recent years.

Victorian style 

Despite the contrast between the neighbourhoods and the structures, the Victorian style is a defining feature of the various parts of the metropolis. It has been preserved in older structures and repurposed in more recent ones. It is a decision that is unquestionably profitable and provides a good view of Liverpool's most well-known streets. In the Merseyside city, there are plenty of things to do: The Baltic Quarter is home to the sizable Red Brick Market, which has numerous tiny stores selling antiques, and the Beatles Museum in Royal Albert Dock is a definite must-see.
