Pier Head & Three Graces
Pier Head
Liverpool's iconic waterfront square, where the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building, and the Port of Liverpool Building, known as the 'Three Graces', stand alongside a statue of the Beatles.
Pier Head is Liverpool's most famous skyline. The Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building, and the Port of Liverpool Building are together known as the 'Three Graces'. They are at the heart of the former 'Liverpool – Maritime Mercantile City' World Heritage Site, which was removed from the list in 2021, although the buildings remain well preserved. The square has life-sized statues of the Beatles walking together, a must-photo spot. To the south are the Liverpool Museum and the Mersey Ferry terminal. To the north, you can walk along the river to Everton's new stadium. Admission is free and the square is open all day. The buildings are lit up at night, which is the best time for photos.
