About Liverpool

Liverpool is a maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea. A key trade and migration port from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it's also, famously, the hometown of The Beatles. Ferries cruise the waterfront, where the iconic mercantile buildings known as the "Three Graces" – Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building – stand on the Pier Head.

Known for its rich musical heritage, cultural diversity, and passionate football fans, Liverpool has undergone significant regeneration in recent years. The city's waterfront is a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting its importance in the growth of the British Empire and as a major port for the mass movement of people.

Liverpool is also renowned for its friendly locals, known as "Scousers," and their distinctive accent. The city's vibrant culture, world-class museums, and thriving arts scene make it a popular destination for tourists from around the world.
