<p>The Lion King is a must-see show! Of course everyone knows the story because of the famous animated <strong>Disney</strong> film.

<p>Mamma Mia is a musical gathering <strong>Abba</strong>’s greatest hits around Sophie’s story. Living on a Greek island with her mother, Sophie is in search of her identity.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>3- Wicked</h4>

<p>Based on the famous novel “<em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</em>”, Wicked tells the story of the Witches of Oz: a friendship between two young women who meet as sorcery students.

<p>Matilda’s character is inspired by Roald Dahl’s novel (<strong>Roald Dahl</strong> wrote <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</em>). Matilda is a young girl neglected by her parents; she is very clever and discovers that she has a special power! Go to the show to find out the ending 😉</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liverpool is the fourth biggest city in England, it used to be a major port due to his strategic location. It is a rich city in terms of architecture and culture, to be absolutely visited! Discover 6 things to do below:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>1- A guided tour of the city</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-520 aligncenter" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Chinese-arch-Liverpool-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="574" height="354" /></p>
<p>Liverpool is a surprising city, mixing modernity and a range of different architectural styles going from the Tudor era until today. Liverpool is home to several ethnic communities, the Chinese community being the oldest in Europe. We can find the <strong>tallest Chinese arch of Europe</strong> standing in the quarter of Chinatown (it measures 44 feet).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>2- Albert Dock</h4>
<p>Liverpool counts several docks, the most famous being the Albert Dock which gathers several classified buildings. The dock was once used to receive exotic goods such as cotton, tea, silk, sugar… Albert Dock is one of the most visited attractions of Liverpool.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>3- The Beatles Story Museum</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-522 alignleft" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Beatles-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="469" height="352" />The famous band is native to Liverpool and you could probably guess even if you didn’t know. There is a special atmosphere about this city: paintings and art created in the effigy of the band, their songs are played everywhere… Liverpool has mainly developed tourism thanks to The Beatles and other music bands. So it makes sense to visit The Beatles Story Museum. You will discover the beginnings of the band, the solo carrier of each member and iconic items such as Georges Harrison’s first guitar. This museum is one of the most visited in the United Kingdom so do not forget to book in advance!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>4- A river cruise over the Mersey</h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-524 alignright" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/View-Mersey-Liverpool-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="515" height="345" />If you come to Liverpool in spring or summer, book a cruise on the <strong>River Mersey</strong>. From the sea you will get a stunning view of the 3 symbolic buildings called the “Liverpool’s Three Graces”: the <em>Royal Liver building</em>, the <em>Cunard building</em> and the <em>Port of Liverpool building</em>. The style of these buildings is so different that this seafront is considered as one of the most impressive in the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>5- The International Slavery Museum</h4>
<p>This museum is also located on the Albert Dock, just a couple of metres away from the quay where the slaves’ commercial ship were arriving. The museum opened in <strong>2007 which was the bicentenary year of the abolition of the British slave trade</strong>. As it is named, the museum is dedicated to the story of the colonial slavery.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>6- The Tate Liverpool</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-523 alignleft" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Tate-Liverpool-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="352" />The first Tate museum opened in 1897, it’s today the one we call Tate Britain. As of now, there are 4 museums: two in London, Tate Modern and Tate Britain, one in Cornwall, Tate St Ives and Tate Liverpool. Tate museums are dedicated to modern art, they are all free of entry (except for exhibitions) <strong>but school groups need to pre-book.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>We can book your attractions and your accommodation in Liverpool and all around the United Kingdom.</strong> <a href="http://maypoletravel.com/contact/index.html">Please contact us for further information.</a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[1- Isle of Skye, Scotland The Isle of Skye is located in the Highlands of Scotland; it is famous for its stunning landscapes and wildlife: you can easily see otters, seals, whales and dolphins around the island. Besides it is a paradise for hiking and climbing lovers. Don’t miss the Old Man of Storr (look at the picture above), the most famous walk on the island; bring your cameras for amazing Instagram pics! 2- Isle of Wight, England The Isle of Wight is probably the easiest island to access as it is not too far from London. It is located just below Portsmouth, South of England (45 minutes in the ferry). The Isle of Wight is the perfect location for a day trip off the beaten track: you can do a bike tour, visit Osborne House (Queen Victoria’ favourite summer home) and even do surf initiation! &#160; &#160; 3- Inishmore,&#8230;

<p>The Isle of Skye is located in the Highlands of Scotland; it is famous for its stunning landscapes and wildlife: you can easily see otters, seals, whales and dolphins around the island. Besides it is a paradise for hiking and climbing lovers. Don’t miss the <strong>Old Man of Storr</strong> (look at the picture above), the most famous walk on the island; bring your cameras for amazing Instagram pics!</p>
<p><strong>2- Isle of Wight, England</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-100 alignleft" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Beach-Isle-of-Wight-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="341" /></p>
<p>The Isle of Wight is probably the easiest island to access as it is not too far from London. It is located just below <strong>Portsmouth</strong>, South of England (45 minutes in the ferry). The Isle of Wight is the perfect location for a day trip off the beaten track: you can do a bike tour, visit Osborne House (Queen Victoria’ favourite summer home) and even do surf initiation!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3- Inishmore, Aran Islands, Ireland</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-101 alignright" src="https://www.maypoletravel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Dun_Aengus-Aran-Islands-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="449" height="304" /></p>
<p>Inishmore is the biggest of the Aran Islands, a group of three islands located on Ireland West Coast, in Galway Bay. Inishmore Island is quite atypical, inhabitants primarily speak Irish, and there are many mysterious places such as <strong>Dun Aengus fort</strong>, which is a series of concentric walls located on the edge of a 100 meters cliff. Please watch out, it’s slippery! You will also see a striking natural rock formation with the shape of a swimming pool called <strong>Poll Na Bpeist</strong>, every year a cliff diving competition is held by Red Bull, how scary!</p>
<p>So, are you interested in visiting one of these islands? We can book accommodation for your group in one of our closest homestay centres or a hostel. We can even book the trip to the island!</p>
