Are you saying he should take his car to Liverpool on the first place!?

Myself being from Liverpool and living in Liverpool I honestly cannot think of any reccommendations.
I wouldn't necessarily go to Manchester neither as I don't find anything attractive there.

If the weather is nice then the Albert Dock is nice to have a walk around.
Maybe visit the Beatles Story which is located there too.

Erm, I think that is all

Bit harsh. Albert Dock is a decent place to wander round for a couple of hours and see where Fred's weather map used to be. It was more exciting when it was still there, though. Liverpool 1 for shopping. Plenty of museums, art galleries and stuff to see if you want to do the touristy thing. Food wise my favourite place is Casa Italia in Stanley St, very lively Italian, always packed and noisy - go for the lasagne and the garlic pizza bread with mozarella. The lasagne arrives with the bechamel sauce still bubbling from the oven. Yum.

Of course there is L1 but I wouldn't really class that as a visiting opportunity?
Yes there a few galleries and museums haven't been since I was a kid though so couldn't reel off the best ones.

Have a look at the Williamson tunnels, I remember my Grandfather telling me about them in the '80s. They've dug some out now, and have a tour.

If you are over 90 years old, have a visit to Southport.

The passport office was quite impressive.
