Liverpool Highlights Audio Tour: City Centre Gems

Explore Liverpool at your own pace

Liverpool hides its past in sight where halls echo with battles and glass holds memories. From World Museum to St George's Hall the city keeps a ledger of moments waiting for a listening ear.

Take a self guided audio tour through the city and hear stories most visitors miss. Discover hidden rooms and street corners where time itself seems to pause.

Did a political battle echo through the rotunda of St George's Hall as rivals clashed over a defining vote? What whispered secret hides in the World Museum after closing and returns at midnight? Which hidden tunnel beneath Walker Art Gallery once carried a rebel banner during a midnight parade?
