The two points of interest mentioned above are very close to each other. Even better, they’re in the same location! The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of buildings where you’ll not only find both Tate Liverpool and the Beatles Story Exhibition/Museum, but also the Merseyside Maritime Museum and an abundance of bars, restaurants and cafes. It’s also the first structure in the country to be built from cast iron, so you can admire the shops within and the beauty of its exterior, as well.
