The Beatles and football, these are the two things that generally come to mind in relation to Liverpool. There's a lot more to this city than mop-tops and soccer balls though, with Liverpool designated as Europe's Capital of Culture for 2008. Plenty of top-class free museums and art galleries justify this honour, along with the many historical buildings scattered across the city. The nightlife is diverse too, with pubs, clubs and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes. Located in the North of England, Liverpool is home to over 40,000 Liverpudlians.

inesb6592 says: “ I think Liverpool is one of those cities which can give a lot if you stay longer, but might not be the typical touristy destination for a week-end trip. Unfortunately, we only stayed one day, but I can imagine it a very cool place to live ! We had a good time there.
