Liverpool is a city that's full of life and packed with history. Known around the world as the birthplace of The Beatles, this vibrant port city in northwest England offers much more than just musical heritage.
The waterfront area, with its iconic Liver Building and renovated Albert Dock, shows off the city's maritime past. The dock area now houses museums, restaurants, and the Tate Liverpool art gallery. The Museum of Liverpool and the International Slavery Museum provide insight into the city's complex history, including its unfortunate role in the slave trade.
Liverpool has one of the most passionate football cultures in the world, with the rivalry between Liverpool FC and Everton FC dividing many local families. On match days, the atmosphere in the city is electric.
The locals, known as Scousers (named after a traditional local stew), are famous for their distinct accent and warm, friendly attitude. They're proud of their city and happy to tell you about it.
The Baltic Triangle area has emerged as a creative hub with street art, indie businesses, and cool bars. Meanwhile, Bold Street offers some of the best independent shopping and global dining options in the northwest of England.
Liverpool has seen significant regeneration in recent decades, transforming from a city in decline to a cultural hotspot that was named European Capital of Culture in 2008.
