A boat on the Mersey in Liverpool with the Liver Building and such in the background

Liverpool, underwent a renaissance in 2008 when it was crowned the European capital of culture.  New boutique hotels sprang up and stylish bars opened and a fabulous £1billion shopping centre Liverpool ONE was built.  Delegates coming to Liverpool find a city that is cosmopolitan and exciting. Since 2004 it has been an UNESCO World Heritage site, an accolade awarded for its historic waterfront area around the Albert Dock and the city’s magnificent Cultural Quarter and it is officially the “World Capital of Pop”.  Merseyside’s musical traditions are as famous as its maritime ones.  From the dank cellar of the Cavern, bands established themselves only to spread around the world.  Acts bands such as Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Searchers to name two, but one in particular stands out, The Beatles, who played their debut in 1961 and appeared another 272 times at The Cavern. 

From the Liver Building to St John's Beacon, Liverpool's landmarks add drama and distinction to the city. The "Three Graces" - the Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building form one of the most instantly recognisable and breathtaking examples of waterfront architecture in the world. 

The city has a mighty sporting heritage with two extremely competitive Premier League football clubs. Our world-class cultural offerings include Tate Liverpool and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and a new addition, is the state of the art, Museum of Liverpool focuses on Liverpool’s worldwide influence on history and culture.
