While in Liverpool for the Ninth International Conference on Tourism & Leisure Studies, you can visit St. George's Hall, Liverpool's landmark venue.
The façade of St. George's Hall on Brown Street is festooned with Corinthian columns and statues. Its sumptuously decorated Great Hall, boasting one of the world's largest organs, is often used for concerts. To the rear of the building, the splendid St. John's Gardens feature statues of prominent Liverpudlians.
The nearby Polytechnic Building is part of an imposing group of neo-Greek buildings that include the William Brown Library, the Picton Reading Rooms, and the Hornby Library. Also of interest is the impressive Bluecoat Chambers, built as a charitable school in 1717 and the city center's oldest building.
Somewhat newer (it was built in 1969) but worth a visit is Radio City Tower. Also referred to as St. John's Beacon, this observation tower offers superb views over the city.
