With history in medieval beginnings dating back to 1207, this great seaport of Liverpool and The Albert Docks have come a long way since it was called 'second city of empire', at the height of fame and fortune in 1907, the time of its 700th anniversary. Down at the Albert Dock over 100 years later can be found a varied selection of exclusive bars and restaurants, where premiership footballers and local celebrities can be found hanging out. Awarded Capital of Culture 2008, Liverpool is a thriving city that is full of great people and most definitely full of life!
Renowned as the birthplace of The Beatles, Liverpool is home to some of the most famous musical names in the world. Inspiration for what have become cult classic hits can be seen all over the city – and it is even possible to stroll down Penny Lane or sit with Eleanor Rigby in the city centre.
For those die-hard music fans why not take a Magical Mystery Tour and experience Strawberry Fields or take the Ferry across the Mersey and see the land that Gerry and the Pacemakers loved so much. With attractions to cater for every age and taste you will never be stuck for something to do.
Liverpool is growing into a shopping Mecca and has an abundance of high street names, boutiques and designer stores to keep you entertained by day, but it’s at night that Liverpool really comes alive! Join the lively, friendly Liverpool crowds in nationwide chain pubs and clubs or in the unique and diverse selection of the smaller, independent pubs and bars.
