With its unique attractions, famously warm welcomes, and global reputation for sport, music, architecture and culture for you to explore, there's nowhere quite like Liverpool.

The best thing about the city of Liverpool is the people. The people here are so friendly it's difficult not to make friends. They're super helpful and kind, so if you're ever in need of help, people will often go out of their way to help you out.
