Liverpool has 800 years of ocean history behind it, and gazing out at the water is an absolute must hen in the city. Pier Head is the best spot from which to get it done, as you get stunning views no matter the direction. This floating pier was England’s gateway to the world of international trade, backed by some of the most beautiful buildings in the city, namely the Three Graces (Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, Port of Liverpool Building).
