    A stunning piece of architecture that stands out along the city skyline and is a tall imposing structure on top of the hill. One of the most famous sites of the city and a nice spot to visit while visiting. The shear size of this building is incredible and will leave you awestruck.

    Really sublime experience. I am an atheist but really loved the place. The sheer architectural magnificence of it and the gravitas it has.

    Liverpool Cathedral stands as a testament to architectural grandeur and spiritual awe. From the moment you approach its imposing facade, there's an undeniable sense of reverence and wonder. The sheer scale of the structure is humbling, with intricate details that invite admiration at every turn. Stepping inside, the vastness of the cathedral's interior is nothing short of mesmerizing. Light pours in through stained glass windows, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that dances across the impressive nave. The acoustics seem to echo with a sense of history, adding a profound layer to the experience. What truly captivates is the meticulous craftsmanship evident in every corner. From the ornate carvings to the lofty arches, the cathedral is a symphony of artistry. Each element tells a story, creating a living tapestry that speaks to the dedication and skill of those who crafted it. Beyond the physical beauty, there's a palpable sense of tranquility within the cathedral's walls. It's a space that encourages reflection and introspection, offering visitors a moment of respite from the outside world. The Liverpool Cathedral isn't just a place of worship; it's a living masterpiece that invites you to explore its depths, absorb its history, and marvel at the artistic prowess that brought it to life. Whether you're a person of faith or simply an admirer of architectural brilliance, a visit to this cathedral is an experience that lingers in your memory long after you've left its hallowed halls.

    What a great building, not as old as we thought, but definitely built in a style. Every time we thought that was it, we found other chapels and rooms, alot of history and small exhibits. Very peaceful. We tried the food in the cafe, it was great, well cooked, good portions, real old fashioned chips and good quality.

    Visited here for the first time on Xmas Eve - 24-12-23 for the Xmas Carol Service and had a wonderful evening. Upon arrival I was taken back in awe by the sheer size of the magnificent cathedral. It truly is breath-taking! Once inside, I gasped taking in the high ceilings and gothic architecture as well as the sounds of the mighty organ. It is a sight to behold and the organ sounds amazing! It was very atmospheric going for a service. I had a lovely evening. The Cathedral is absolutely stunning, not just a place of worship and reflection but also in architecture. A work of art and engineering. If you are in Liverpool visiting, do come and see the Cathedral. It is truly amazing!
