If you’re planning a trip to Liverpool you are probably already making a list of places to visit. Before you get your mind set on shopping destinations, entertainment spots, and dance clubs, take a minute to think about the interesting things you can learn on your trip. Soak up the culture while in Liverpool and enrich yourself with the history. Your first stop should be a car hire so that you can make it to all the places you want to see on your own time. There should be a car hire location at or near the airport where you land. After you get settled in at your hotel you’ll want to check out the Pier Head which is located on the water front at the center of Liverpool.
There are three landmarks in Pier Head which are known as The Three Graces. Constructed starting in nineteen o’ three, Port of Liverpool Building was the first of The Three Graces to be erected. Royal Liverpool Building is the second which was built from the year nineteen o’ eight to nineteen eleven. Topped with statues of the legendary Liver Bird creature, two clock towers make this landmark an amazing sight. The last of The Three Graces was built in nineteen fourteen in Italian Renaissance and Greek Revival style. It was once the main location for the Cunard Line shipping company, therefore it’s name, the Cunard Building fits well. With a car hire you are free to see these century old buildings on your own without being surrounded by other tourists or having to sit on a crowded bus that is on a strict timing schedule. Take your time to explore this area. Many memorials can be seen as well, The Titanic Memorial, the Merchant Navy War Memorial, the Cunard War Memorial, and the Alfred Lewis Jones Memorial among others. You’ll be glad you rented from a car hire while you are frequenting the many historical spots in Pier Head.
