Take the ultimate Beatles tour to many of the places that helped shape the Fab Four and inspire their music, including their former residences and schools.
Follow the shores of the famed River Mersey, which inspired the hit song Ferry Cross the Mersey by Gerry and the Pacemakers. As popular as that Liverpool-based band was, they paled in comparison to the Beatles, the legendary rock group that also formed in Liverpool and played in its nightclubs in the early 1960s.
For an in-depth look at the lives and times of the Beatles, visit the Beatles Story, an extensive exhibition devoted to the Fab Four. You will learn about their childhoods, how the Beatles met, and how they led the British Invasion that introduced the world to the music of the United Kingdom decades ago. There are also plenty of early photographs of the Beatles that have just recently come to light.
Drive along Mathew Street, home to numerous shops with Beatles memorabilia, statues of the Beatles, the Beatles-themed Hard Day’s Night Hotel, and the Cavern Club, where the Fab Four performed more than 300 times in the 1960s. You will also see where the Beatles worked before becoming famous, drive down famed Penny Lane and pass Strawberry Field, where John Lennon attended garden parties as a child.
