Website a 'hit' for Beatles fans

The city of Liverpool, birthplace of the Beatles, has a new website dedicated to ensuring that fans make the most of their visit.

The city of Liverpool, birthplace of the Beatles, has a new website - www.visitbeatlesliverpool.com- dedicated to ensuring that fans make the most of their visit. Liverpool's artists and bands have had more number one singles than any other city in the UK and the ‘fab four’ played a part in this legacy, helping to define the culture of the city with their impact on fashion and lifestyle as well as music. The website, live from April 26, contains details of all the Beatles’ related attractions, shops and entertainment, as well as suggested itineraries, including:

  1. The Beatles Story - an exhibition detailing the story of the ‘fab four’ from Liverpool to worldwide phenomenon.
  2. Magical Mystery Tour – two-hour tour of the Beatles' homes, schools and places that inspired songs such as Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane.
  3. Cavern Club - the reconstruction of the famous basement club where the Beatles first tasted success, still alive with new music today.

The new website is the first initiative from The Beatles Industry Group to help build tourism in the city in the build-up to 2008, when Liverpool becomes European Capital of Culture. Liverpool is in North-West England, 210 miles from London.
