Why Liverpool matters
Liverpool wears its port history proudly. The waterfront buildings at Pier Head were symbols of a global trading empire, the Royal Albert Dock is now a cultural quarter, and the Cavern Quarter lets Beatles fans follow the band's early days. The city is also a football obsession, has two huge cathedrals and a famous sense of humour. Locals are quick to chat, and the nightlife is lively.
Talking points
- The Beatles started here and the story is told across the city.
- Pier Head is home to the famous Three Graces waterfront buildings.
- Two very different cathedrals face each other along one street.
- Football culture is part of daily life.
