Absolutely stunning architecture, especially from the inside. The scale of the building is massive and really takes you by surprise. A visit to Liverpool feels incomplete without stopping here. Entry is free, though donations are appreciated — well worth it for a place like this.

Absolutely beautiful! Definitely a must see! If the weather is nice - I recommend going to the top for some nice view of Liverpool. Ticket for 1 adult was 7£. You'll have to take 2 lifts and climb some stairs but its worth it. All staff were very nice and chatty.
