The city centre is currently a maze of closed or temporary roads (sometimes even closed to pedestrians) while a large new shopping and residential centre is being developed.

Albert Dock is very difficult to reach at the present and the new main bus station is virtually out of use because most of the buses and passengers can't get there. You won't be seeing the river from the Pier Head because it is closed off for construction of a canal right in front of the landmark riverfront buildings, which also means that they cannot be seen in their proper perspective.

It's a shame but I'm posting this warning because too many people are raising false expectations of the 'experience' to be had wandering the city and to disappoint visitors' expectations is not clever.

The waterfront, known as the Pier Head, is home to three architectural gems, the Liver Buildings, Cunard Building, and the Port of Liverpool Building, known collectively as the “Three Graces”.

The M62 or via the Mersey Tunnel will take you into the city centre, by rail at Lime Street or even by air at John Lennon airport

Has been called the greatest neo-classical building in the world. It is certainly impressive and is the heart of the newly formed 'cultural quarter' in Liverpool. Liverpool Walker Art Gallery and Musuem are only a five-minute walk away on the impressive William Brown Street

Opposite Liverpool Lime Street Station and the Empire Theatre
