The city of Liverpool has, over the years, become one of the UK’s most visited destinations, and when you look at the city’s attractions, it isn’t hard to see why. It’s one of Britain’s most important ports and has been for some time. The Albert Dock is a testament to this maritime history - and was the first structure in Britain to be built without any structural wood, making it an architectural wonder too.
Today, the Royal Albert Dock (so-called since being given a Royal Charter in 2018) is not a significant maritime venue - developments in shipping have made it obsolete in that sense. It has, however, been converted into a major tourist attraction, housing the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool’s Tate gallery and the Beatles story; outside of London, it is the most-visited multi-use attraction anywhere in the UK. Check out our list of the best hotels with parking near Royal Albert Dock, to get an idea of what could await you on your visit to the heart of Merseyside.
