This is a walking tour built to move—2 hours and 15 minutes of stories, façades and angles that reveal how Liverpool became a global port and cultural force.

Liverpool’s rise in the 18th and 19th centuries was driven by maritime trade, shipbuilding and the dock system; many of the city’s grand buildings reflect that commercial wealth and civic ambition.
