Discover Liverpool (United-kingdom)
Liverpool, 2008's Capital of Culture, is teeming with historical and cultural diversity. The city is home to historical landmarks, beautiful cathedrals, a popular university, renowned artists, musicians and sporting heroes (two of its football teams are in the premier division).
Liverpudlians themselves, or "Scousers" as they're usually known, are a unique breed: brash, colourful, entertaining and proud of their identity and heritage. The city has been handicapped with a difficult history, but it is this hardship that's strengthened Liverpool's sense of humour.
Aside from the obvious football and Beatles connections, the city surprisingly has more listed buildings than the capital, London, and has grown to be a European cultural landmark with its numerous art galleries and museums.
Probably the most famous of landmarks is the Albert Dock, which lies west of the city, the Cavern Quarter in the north, popular with Beatles fans, and the exclusive Ropewalks area just south of Hanover Street.
Liverpool's Anglican cathedral, built on a former quarry, is a priority when visiting. Built below the terraces of the Georgian area, it's the largest Anglican cathedral ever built and houses the world's third largest church bell. The impressive church organ is made up of a staggering 9765 pipes! There is also a secret spring next to the Huskisson Memorial, making this a real haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Buy a coffee from the excellent cafe and chill out!
Liverpool One Shopping Centre, the size of 28 football pitches is home to 160 stores, bars and eateries, encompassing the best Liverpool has to offer in fashion, design, leisure and cuisine.
With so much diversity, Liverpool is a top choice for travellers wanting to visit an iconic city in the UK.
