As a city, Liverpool is diverse, energetic and exciting: from celebrating Liverpool's 800th birthday in 2007 to being the European Capital of Culture in 2008; football to festivals; music to maritime; clubs to cuisine. Liverpool's most famous export is the Beatles, with an estimated 600,000 people visiting Liverpool each year just for the Beatles.  It is also the World Capital of Pop according to the Guinness Book of Records.It's no surprise that the city's most popular attractions are Fab Four-related, but in addition to reliving the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience and Paul's childhood home, catch local buses to visit Albert Dock's stores, Liverpool Cathedral and Walker Art Gallery.
