10 Most Instagrammable Places in Liverpool

The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building dating back to the early 20th century that utilizes reinforced concrete in its construction. Its concrete composition is particularly interesting, as it's one of the first buildings in the world to be built in such a fashion. While you can take a picture in front of it at any time, nighttime shots are particularly appealing. When the sun goes down, the building is floodlit, highlighting its towering splendor. Try to get one of the liver birds in the shot as well to truly capture the majesty of this historic building. You'll find the building a half-mile west of the city centre, by the river.

The floral arch on 60 Hope Street is a popular spot for photos and is set at the entrance of a delicious local restaurant. It's located within the creative quarter of Liverpool, about 2 miles southeast of the city centre, which is known for its impressive buildings and murals displayed throughout the neighbourhood. The floral arch itself is set up around the doorway and showcases an array of color that changes depending on the season. One of the most notable designs is one in which the flowers are arranged as the wings of a butterfly on each side of the door.

The Beatles statue is one of the most iconic spots in the city, located by the Liverpool Empire Theater, and showcases life-size statues of all 4 members of The Beatles. They weigh an impressive 1.2 tons combined and were crafted by the legendary Andrew Edwards. Get a picture among these statues, and you'll look as if you're walking alongside these musical legends. You may even want to snap a few shots of the intricate details on the statues, like the acorns in John's hand and the L8 on the bottom of Ringo's shoe. The statue is about a 10-minute walk west of the city centre.

The Mersey Ferry is a popular ferry service and ideal spot to capture incredible photos of the city and riverfront. Located at Pier Head, the ferry travels between Liverpool to Birkenhead and Wallasey on the Wirral Peninsula via the River Mersey. The historic route has been in use since the 12th century, though the ferry service currently has a fleet of 2 modern ferries: the Royal Iris of the Mersey and Snowdrop. The ferries handle cross-river ferrying and charter cruises. For even more incredible views of the city and a glimpse into the city’s port past, book a sunset cruise.

The Picton Reading Room is a part of the Liverpool Central Library and features a picturesque aesthetic with books from floor to ceiling across multiple levels. The massive scale of the book-lined walls here is impressive, and it's easy to capture in a photo since its alluring nature is evident from just about every angle. Standing in this room, you'll notice just how quiet it is – quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Consider getting a shot of empty chairs alongside any people who may be visiting to get an idea of just how simultaneously populated and empty the room can feel. You'll find it 5 minutes east of the city centre by automobile.

The Sefton Park Palm House is a glasshouse settled within a Grade II listed designation and featuring impressive glasswork and domed splendor. The exterior can make for a scenic backdrop, as the glass curves like a bubble over the building and lets the blue hues of the sky shine through. Inside the glasshouse, you'll find a wide variety of vibrant greenery that can make you feel as if you've taken a trip to the tropics. Towering palms make up most of the flora inside, and you'll also find colorful flower arrangements. You'll find it about 4 miles southeast of the city centre.

The bombed-out church, or St Luke's Church, is a ruined church that was damaged in the Liverpool Blitz and features a hauntingly alluring shell that's perfect for scenic shots. The ruins still stand as a memorial to the war and its victims, and it's officially a designated Grade II listed building. While it may appear to be fairly normal from a distance, the damage is easy to notice as you get closer. The roof is almost completely missing, leaving just bits and pieces of its Gothic Revival architecture standing like monuments to the bombings. Be sure to capture one of the remaining stained glass windows depicting a liver bird. The church is about a 2-mile drive southeast of the city centre.

Liverpool Cathedral is a massive cathedral built in the Gothic Revival style in the early 20th century and offers extensive opportunities for photos and scenic views. Inside, you'll find a cavernous interior complemented by impressive architecture. While the exterior and interior of the cathedral itself are certainly impressive, they're not the only aspects you can take advantage of for Instagram. The tower is also open to the public. From its peak, you can take panoramic photos of the city and enjoy stunning views in all directions. The cathedral is about a 7-minute drive southeast of the city centre.
