Liverpool, a city of storybook charm, is always buzzing with people and places.
Liverpool has been at the centre of the global maritime trade for centuries, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries when it was the only international port on an island that was also a world leader in industrial development.
It is a city which, in the words of author James Agate, ‘has an identity that knows itself and likes what it is.’
It has a great energy about it and clearly thrives on all the buzz and excitement that comes from being a leading cultural centre of the United Kingdom.
Liverpool is no stranger to beating odds. It was built up on determination, hard graft and entrepreneurship to prosper as one of the country’s best ports.
This attitude remains to this day throughout the city’s streets and neighbourhoods – an attitude you’ll find in abundance when it comes to leisure time too.
Liverpool is a large, vibrant city with great cultural heritage and was awarded the title of European Capital of Culture 2008, with the famous Pier Head Waterfront being a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004.
