Liverpool doesn’t just have the Beatles – if you’re an arts/culture junkie, this city walk route will be your favorite this time! Let me take you on a tour of Liverpool's three popular literary and artistic strongholds: from the Walker Art Gallery, which has a rich collection and regularly updates new works, to the atmosphere-filled Central Library, and then to National Museums Liverpool to see the most amazing aquarium - a photo spot and student knowledge is completed in one go!

Attraction inventory recommendations:

1. Walker Art Gallery
📍Address: William Brown St, Liverpool L3 8EL UK
⏰ Opening hours: 10:00 - 16:00 (Tuesday - Sunday), closed on Mondays

As one of the oldest and largest public art galleries in the UK, Collector-level British classical paintings and modern art trends have everything. Special recommendation There are many new paintings on display recently, the atmosphere is very fresh! Whether you specialize in painting or new media art, there will always be one that will catch your eye, for hipsters and art lovers to enjoy quietly.

2. Liverpool Central Library
📍Address: William Brown St, Liverpool L3 8EW UK
⏰Opening Hours: 09:00 - 20:00 (Mon-Fri), 09:00 - 17:00 (Saturday)

One of the must-visit landmarks for hipster pilgrimages! Not only is there a lot of books here, the interior design of the library is super layered, and the atmosphere is great for taking pictures. The rooftop terrace overlooks the streetscape of Liverpool's classical and modern architecture.

3. National Museums Liverpool
📍Address: Peter St, Liverpool L1 6BL, United Kingdom
⏰Opening Hours: 10:00 - 17:00 (Tue-Sun)

Don’t think it’s just exhibits – their aquarium section is the most amazing! The fish tank design is trendy and full of perspective. The underwater world is both healing and photogenic. There are regular activities/humanities exhibitions in the museum, under the modern architecture even the outdoor garden and together to enjoy, suitable for chill explore.

🌟 Real tips blessing:
Highly recommended the aquarium area, very exciting planning, various fantastic underwater animals under the glass curtain wall for you to observe up close - even if it snows, it is as fantastic as walking in a fantasy forest! There are many new paintings in this issue of the art gallery, which are fresh every time you go, and are extremely worth revisiting from time to time.

🚗 Transportation Tips:
The above three arts and crafts attractions are located in the city center, within walking distance, suitable for a day of hipster city walk. There are several bus/rail lines nearby and a taxi is also convenient.

🍔 Food Recommendations:
- There are many Cafe & British pubs near the library/art gallery where you can try local Liverpool pasty, mussel soup and other specialties;
- After walking, I stopped by Bold Street for food. The density of European fusion shops and dessert shops is high, so I can't choose from soda/hand-brewed coffee.

📎 Practical tips:
- Some exhibitions at the Gallery and Museum are free to visit, some special exhibitions require reservation/ticket arrangements;
- It is recommended to bring a lightweight jacket, even on sunny days when indoor air conditioning remains strong;
- It is recommended to arrive at the venue half an hour in advance to avoid the crowds and leisurely painting and watching fish.

Play around with a half day trip to Liverpool and remember the city harshly with music, art and modern city views! Although it's only a few hours, you can step on the city's landmarks and feel the most essential vitality of Liverpool: from the Beatles statue to a visit to the ACC Liverpool Exhibition Hall, a Ferris wheel to see the city skyline, and the UK's most stylish museums for you to discover. Most importantly, these photo-taking hotspots are located in the city center, allowing you to shuttle and play at high speeds, suitable for those of you who have little time but want to feel Liverpool full power!

Highlights Recommended:

1. The Beatles Statue
As a must-see destination for music fans, the statue, located at Pier Head, commemorates the four legendary members. The atmosphere was superb, with tourists, buskers and locals taking pictures/listening to music/feeling the Beatles melody. The statue is open all day throughout the year, whether morning, midnight or night, it is OK to take pictures and remember the memories left by The Beatles in your favorite way.
📍Address: Pier Head, Liverpool L3 1BY UK
⏰Opening Hours: Open all day year round

2. ACC Liverpool Exhibition Hall
The next stop is a slow walk to the ACC Liverpool Exhibition Hall, which often hosts large exhibitions, concerts, and trade fairs. If you just encounter a special event, don't miss the entrance to feel the atmosphere. The architectural design is super strong. Next to King's Dock, there is a large space outside to walk and take photos. It is very convenient to enter and exit freely with your ticket.
📍Address: King's Dock, Port of Liverpool, Kings Dock St, Liverpool L3 4FP UK
⏰Opening Hours: Year-round 09:00 - 05:30, Monday to Thursday, Sunday

3. Liverpool Ferris Wheel
Although not as famous as the London Eye, you must take a ride on its Ferris wheel when you come to Liverpool. Evening night view is more recommended, the whole city is beautiful and sparkling, well worth a try.

4. Museum Flash
If you still have time, you might as well take a step further to any of the nearby Liverpool museums, many of which are open for free, with themes ranging from urban development, art to shipping history, suitable for hipsters and knowledge geeks.

Tips
- The trip locations are not far apart, ten minutes walk to get it done, walk along the way, feel the city atmosphere.
- Experience Sharing: The weather in Liverpool is very fickle, it is recommended to bring a thin jacket/umbrella and a pair of comfortable shoes on your feet.
- Plenty of free time Remember to hea along the river at Pier Head, sit and feel the cool breeze from the Mersey super comfortable.
- If you encounter a holiday or large event, the attraction will be more crowded, mobile phone pre-check the exhibition hall for special events.

Transportation guide
It is very convenient to walk more than 10 minutes from Liverpool Central Station/bus station to Pier Head;or choose the city TAXI/bus for 10-15 minutes drive to various popular locations.

Food recommendations
There are many specialty snack shops and English restaurants nearby, recommending English fish and chips and authentic coffee shops.
