Whether you’re visiting with a school group, exploring as a tourist, or just love capturing stunning content, here are the most Instagrammable spots in Liverpool that deserve a place on your feed.
🎸 1. The Beatles Statue
Location: Pier Head
Start your photo journey with Liverpool’s most iconic figures. The larger-than-life bronze statues of The Beatles are a must-snap moment, with the River Mersey and the historic Royal Liver Building as your backdrop.
Instagram tip: Use portrait mode to make the statues pop against the city skyline.
🌉 2. Royal Albert Dock
Location: Albert Dock
Cobblestone walkways, red-brick warehouses, and reflections dancing on the water – the Albert Dock is pure photo gold. It’s beautiful at any time of day, with a mix of modern museums and historic vibes.
Instagram tip: Go for sunset shots over the water for golden hour magic.
🎨 3. Baltic Triangle Street Art
Location: Jamaica Street and surroundings
Home to Liverpool’s coolest murals, creative cafés, and independent shops, the Baltic Triangle is bursting with colour and personality. Expect massive street art, rainbow stairs, and edgy industrial vibes.
Instagram tip: Use symmetry for mural backgrounds and shoot wide to capture scale.
📸 4. The “Wings” Mural
Location: Jamaica Street, Baltic Triangle
One of Liverpool’s most famous Instagram backdrops! These angel wings are designed for you to stand in front of, making you the centrepiece of a street-art masterpiece.
Instagram tip: Wear bright colours to contrast with the deep tones of the mural.
🏛️ 5. St George’s Hall
Location: St George’s Place
A neoclassical beauty that could pass for a Roman palace. The massive columns, grand steps, and tiled interior are perfect for elegant, architectural shots.
Instagram tip: Get low for a dramatic upward angle that captures the scale of the hall.
🌆 6. Liverpool Cathedral
Location: St James Mount
The largest cathedral in Britain also offers some of the best panoramic views of the city. The gothic interior and rooftop tower views are guaranteed to impress.
Instagram tip: Use wide-angle lenses inside to capture the soaring ceilings.
🌊 7. The Three Graces
Location: Pier Head
The Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building line up perfectly along the Mersey and look incredible in both day and night shots. They’re a favourite for urban photographers and cityscape lovers.
Instagram tip: Frame all three buildings in one shot by standing across the water or near the Museum of Liverpool.
🌸 8. Sefton Park Palm House
