The best photos of Liverpool aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Albert Dock and Tate Liverpool and The Beatles Story will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Baltic Triangle for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Liverpool is a city of music, maritime history, and world-class culture, where the waterfront UNESCO site, the Beatles heritage, and two outstanding cathedrals create a compelling walking destination.
