The Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building, the Three Graces, form one of the most distinctive waterfront silhouettes in Europe. Walk from the Albert Dock to the Pier Head and you're walking through 200 years of maritime history.
The Mersey Ferry (£) gives you the best angle on the city. Free to walk, impossible to rush. Come at golden hour when the light off the river is exceptional.
