pubs is found around Concert Square, Seel Street, Fleet Street and Slater Street.

All aboard: Waterfront
This is a port city proud of its shipping heritage, having been the home of the White Star

Line and Cunard, and the registered port for liners such as RMS Titanic and RMS

Lusitania. Anchoring the Waterfront area is Pier Head, where visitors can learn about the

city’s global significance via its geography, history and culture at the Museum of

Liverpool. Opened in 2011, the angular, low-rise building and surrounding plaza
