WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF LIVERPOOL TOUR – APPROX. 3 HOURS

About this Wheelchair Accessible Cultural Capital of Liverpool Tour

Discover the many wonders and stunning architecture of the city of Liverpool during this wheelchair accessible tour. Liverpool was named ‘European Capital of Culture’ in 2008, and on this 3-hour private tour you will discover exactly why.

Your journey begins at your cruise port or city center accommodation, where your driver-guide picks you up in a private wheelchair adapted vehicle. From the comfort of this vehicle, you will explore Liverpool’s charm and see different highlights of the city.

Castle Street & The Museum Quarter

To start off the tour, you will visit Castle Street. Located right in the center of the museum quarter of Liverpool, this street is a must-see when visiting the city. It is one of Liverpool’s oldest streets and dates back to the 13th century. During the Middle Ages, markets filled the street, and you can still see traces of this past today, such as the Sanctuary Stone. This stone marks the exact location where the fairs ended.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Castle Street was widened as the city grew rapidly. Today, the street is flat, wide, and asphalted, and the sidewalks are also flat and paved with tiles.

This area perfectly blends Liverpool’s rich heritage with modern restaurants, bars, and business life. Thanks to its stunning architecture and the many museums and galleries nearby, you can feel the history all around you.

St. Georges Hall

Next on the tour, admire the magnificent exterior of St George’s Hall. Built in 1854, this building showcases one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in the world. Its impressive tunnel-vaulted ceiling remains one of the largest in Europe, and its grand columns immediately capture your attention. Over the years, the hall has hosted concerts, court sessions, and major civic celebrations.

Furthermore, filmmakers have chosen this iconic building as a backdrop for productions such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and the television series Peaky Blinders, which has helped strengthen its international reputation.

Liverpool Waterfront & The Three Graces

After that, your tour continues to Liverpool’s world-famous waterfront, where you can enjoy some of the most breathtaking views in the city. Here, the iconic Three Graces dominate the skyline: The Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building, and the Port of Liverpool Building. Together, these buildings symbolize Liverpool’s maritime history, as well as its global influence.

Anfield Football Stadium

The next highlight on your tour is the drive by Anfield Football Stadium, the famous home of Liverpool FC. Founded in 1892, Liverpool FC quickly became one of the most recognized football clubs in the world. Over time, Anfield developed into a stadium known for its electric atmosphere and passionate supporters, especially in the famous Spion Kop stand. As one of the most iconic stadiums in the country, Anfield offers a powerful insight into Liverpool’s deep football culture and strong community spirit.

Liverpool Cathedrals

Liverpool is one of the few cities in the world with two magnificent cathedrals located along the same street. As you travel along Hope Street, you will certainly notice how different the cathedrals look, yet how equally impressive they feel.

At one end stands the striking Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, which opened in 1967. Its bold circular design and colorful stained-glass windows create a bright and modern atmosphere.

In contrast, at the other end of the street stands the majestic Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, built in a grand Gothic style. Together, these two landmarks symbolize Liverpool’s rich spiritual heritage and architectural ambition. As a result, this part of the tour offers both beauty and powerful history.

Interior visit of the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral

During your tour, you can enter the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and experience its breathtaking scale and beauty from inside. As the largest cathedral in Britain and the fifth largest in Europe, it impresses with its soaring arches, open spaces and peaceful atmosphere.

The cathedral is usually free to enter and offers great accessibility. You can enter through step-free access points, use lifts where needed, and find an accessible toilet on site. Seating is available throughout the building, and manual wheelchairs can be borrowed free of charge, subject to availability. Most areas are on a single level, and viewing screens allow guests who cannot access the tower to still enjoy the stunning views.

Your driver guide waits for you at the vehicle while you explore this magnificent building. After the tour, you will be brought back to your cruise port or city center accommodation.
