Visitors are regularly surprised too by the richness of its architecture. You’ll find 16th Century Tudor houses and Georgian mansions alongside beautifully preserved historic docks and fantastic modern styles. English Heritage has described Liverpool as the country’s greatest Victorian city.
Its rich history is undoubted, yet the city knows how to celebrate the present too. From the Tate Liverpool to the Walker Art Gallery, the city has more museums and arthouses than any other English city outside of the capital. Nobody has a greater sense of humour than Liverpudlians, and the energy of the place can be found in its restless reinvention. Fans of retail can indulge their purchase impulse in Liverpool One, the fantastic new shopping and leisure development in the heart of the city, which was launched to celebrate Liverpool’s recent tenure as European City of Culture. The Mersey moves to a different beat, and it’s always worth joining in.
