There are many museums located in Liverpool, which do not imposed an admission charge. So, its worth to pay a visit to the museums. However, due to the time constraint, we only manage to visit the Walker Art Gallery. It display artworks from 13th-21st century. It's an impressive tour in the art gallery.

One of the museum which I think worth to pay a visit, but I excluded it as we are not big fans of The Beatles and we have limited time. It cost £8.50 for the museum tour. For your information, Liverpool is the city where members of The Beatles grew up.

Joanne is a big fans of Cathedral, so do I when I am in UK. The Cathedral in UK is gorgeous. There are two famous Cathedral in Liverpool, Metropolitan Cathedral and Liverpool Cathedral. It's a rush day and we do not manage to visit the Cathedral. So, it's simply a photo shooting outside of it.

Metropolitan Cathedral

Not to missed out, superlambanana. The sculpture was created in 1998 as part of initiative to create a 'corridor of art' through the North of England. Guys, it currently located at the main entrance of LJMU's library.

Call me Superlambanana...

My friends always tell me that night of Liverpool is different and really nice. So glad that I have a chance to experience the night of Liverpool City. We manage to visit the outside view of some historical building during the night time. It's really impressive and we are falling in love with it.

The last place to visit before the end of Liverpool day trip...is Albert Dock. It's nothing more than a dock and warehouse, but it's now a visitor attraction.
