If there is one place to visit while you are in Liverpool, the it must be The Albert Dock. It is in essence the main attraction of the city and it is a good place to start if you are looking for a bit of history. The Albert Dock is a converted warehouse which was presumably bustling with activity in Liverpool's hey day as a port and centre of trade. It currently houses three world class attractions, namely, The Merseyside Maritime Museum, The Tate Gallery of the North and The Beatles Story. The Maritime Museum for example offers a glimpse of Liverpool's past through its dioramas depicting the passage of slaves and later, immigrants to America. It gives the onlooker an idea of how Liverpool came to be what it is today, an ethnicaly diverse society. Aside from museums and galleries, there are also plenty of shops to lure the souvenir hunter. Here you can buy handicraft items from various parts of the world, T-shirts, wollen sweaters, jwellery and other exciting gifts to take home. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafes which offer traditional as well as more exotic fare, such as Indonesian cuisine. One could easily spend a whole day there and still need to come back the next day in order to see it all.
