Fabulous Liverpool! Follow in the footsteps of the Beatles. Thanks to its position as Great Britain's second largest port on the banks of the Mersey, Liverpool has seen a huge diversity of influences, making it a unique destination in the United Kingdom. European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool's name is also closely associated with its football club and a cultural heritage second only to London. Welcome to the home of the Fab Four!
In the North-West of England, at the mouth of the Mersey, sits Liverpool, a city of 400,000 inhabitants and a port which thrived at the end of the 19th century thanks to transatlantic trading. Today it is still an important industrial centre, particularly with its shipyards and car industry. This Merseyside city houses the largest numbers of museums outside London and is developing its tourist attractions. It won international recognition when it was chosen as European Capital of Culture, although Liverpool's name was already widely known as the home of the Beatles and the "Reds", the famous football team, Liverpool FC, both of which contribute to the legend of the city.
"You'll never walk alone!" the anthem of Liverpool football supporters, inscribed above the gates of the Stadium at Anfield Road, sums up the atmosphere in Liverpool: welcoming! Apart from its two football clubs, seven golf courses, the biggest horse race this side of the Atlantic, The Grand National, Liverpool also offers top-quality cultural entertainment too. From Albert Dock, an impressive group of buildings fronting the sea and the Mersey, the Merseyside Maritime Museum, which houses the new International Slavery Museum, is within easy reach, as is the Tate Liverpool and, of course, the Beatles Museum. Liverpool's most famous citizens, John, Paul, Ringo and George remain in the hearts of the city with reminders such as the Cavern Club and even the airport, which has been renamed after John Lennon. Forget the image of Liverpool as a rainy port, this city lives life to the full and offers plenty of attractions for all tastes: musical, cultural and friendly. In Liverpool you will never walk alone.
