About Liverpool City

This city at one time was considered tired and unappealing, which has long since changed with countless regenerations and tidying to become one of the most celebrated cities in the UK. Full of history and cultural exports, Liverpool is one of the most fantastic and exciting cities in the UK to live in. Residents and visitors flock to the city centre to participate in various events, festivals, and exhibitions the city offers. 

Accessibility could not be easier, from national and international flights arriving and departing from John Lennon Airport daily to extensive rail travel at the ever-bustling Liverpool Lime Street Station. A transport hub with connections to the rest of the country and Scotland, Lime Street Station is the world's oldest still serving grand terminus mainline station. If you are travelling by car, Liverpool is about a three-and-a-half-hour drive to London, about 37 minutes to Manchester and just under 4 hours to Glasgow central. 

Liverpool cannot be mentioned without paying homage to the two resident football teams that bring flocks of visitors to the city every year. Liverpool FC and Everton though just a stone's throw away from each other, are long-standing rivals who often cause much attention when they play against each other.

The Liverpool City Community

Liverpool cannot be mentioned without talking about its main claim to fame; it is the hometown of the legendary rock group The Beatles. All four members hail from the region, and it is represented around the city with people visiting The Beatles Museum and bus tours, drinking at the Cavern Club, visitors staying at The Hard Nights Hotel, or taking a look around Strawberry Field's historical site. 

However, Liverpool is much more than just The Beatles; other attractions include the waterfront with ferry trips, the quintessentially Liverpudlian architecture, the stunning Cathedral, and the famous Royal Albert Dock.

There is more than enough to do. Did you know that outside of the capital city of London, Liverpool has the most grade II listed buildings and the highest number of museums and galleries in the region? It is a place filled with cultural and historical references that are echoed all over the world. Proudly Liverpool has carried World Heritage Site status from 2004 until 2021 and was named and hosted The European Capital of Culture in 2008.

From Penny Lane and Liverpool one, which boasts 170 different shops and restaurants, to the Albert Docks and the countless heritage sites - this city has something to offer everyone.
