How To Plan A Beatles Tour Of Liverpool, England
Few bands have had as much influence on global music as The Beatles. Since rising to fame in the 1960s, John, Paul, George and Ringo went on to become a symbol of pop culture recognized all over the world, inspiring countless numbers to start their own bands or change their sound.
Yet it’s in their hometown Liverpool where their success left the greatest legacy. A 2016 report commissioned by Liverpool city council said the value of the Fab Four’s legacy to the city was almost $100 million and created more than 2,000 jobs. It’s easy to see why. Beatlemania is still alive and well on the streets of this former European Capital of Culture.
Several tour operators offer guided tours of relevant sites, but it’s also perfectly possible to take a DIY approach. There are many Beatles-related attractions within walking distance of each other, while some in the southeast of the city will require a bus trip or your own transport.
