Visit the Royal Liver Building

• Did you know the Royal Liver Building’s clock faces are bigger than those found on Big Ben and the biggest in the UK? This building is one of Liverpool’s most recognisable landmarks and visitors should make sure to check out the Royal Liver Building 360 tour. The tour provides an immersive audiovisual show inside the clock tower and spectacular 360-degree views of the Liverpool skyline from the 15th-floor viewing platform.

Find Liverpool Cathedral’s red telephone box

• Visit the largest cathedral in Britain which truly needs to be seen from the inside. The awe-inspiring Gothic Revival architecture and dynamic vaulted ceilings will leave you speechless, as will the incredible panoramic views of the city from its tower. While the red telephone box may not be synonymous with Liverpool per se, both it and the cathedral were designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott so keep your eyes peeled for the red telephone box inside the cathedral.

Uncover The Beatles Story

• Liverpool is the home of the Fab Four so before you get back home take the magical mystery tour and visit Strawberry Field and The Cavern Club. The Beatles Story is the largest permanent exhibition to the band in the world and offers an immersive experience into the band’s history, making it the perfect place to visit during International Beatle Week which runs from August 20-26.

Tour iconic stadiums

• Whether you walk on with hope in your heart or prefer the upbeat flute-filled Z-Cars theme, there’s an unforgettable stadium tour for you in this city. Take a tour of the most modern stadium in Britain, The Hill Dickinson Stadium, the new home of Everton FC. Found on the banks of the River Mersey, this football-first sporting arena is an innovative combination of brick, glass and steel that compliments that architecture of the surrounding dock buildings. Fans of a different persuasion may prefer to tour Anfield, the fabled home of Liverpool FC.

If your best laid plans have a habit of changing, don’t worry – with Flexi fares, customers can change the time and date of their sailing. Those who upgrade to the Premium fare will enjoy the benefits of flexible booking and access to the luxurious Stena Plus Lounge for over 8s.

Prices start from just £149 per car or you can visit the city as a foot passenger for just £36. For more information visit http://www.stenaline.co.uk
