The Albert Dock in Liverpool is the main tourist area of the once thriving Liverpool dock lands. Located within a 5-minute walk from the city centre it is easy to get to.
The Albert Dock is home to the old Granada studios where good morning was filmed as well as the world famous Fred's weather map located in the dock. You will find the Tate art galley, which is free to enter and is full of historic and modern art and is a pleasure to visit. The beetle's story is a museum dedicated to the lives of Liverpool's most famous band. Finally the other museum is Liverpool Maritime museum which is an informative history of the Liverpool Docks including Liverpool's involvement in the slave trade.
Shopping is good for arts and crafts, as well as memorabilia. There are countless small shops situated around the dock, which you can pick up some good bargains.
As with any tourist attraction there are lots of cafes and restaurants situated in the vacinity and my particular mention is the blue bar, a very relaxing establishment with comfy chairs.
Prices for refreshments around the docks are slightly more expensive than in Liverpool but if you are visiting you would only think it as cheaper.
Anyone visiting the north west should visit the Albert Docks as it is a cheap, informative fun day out.
