About Liverpool

Liverpool is noted for its culture, architecture, and transport links. The city is closely associated with the arts, especially music; the popularity of the Beatles, widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, led to it becoming a tourist destination. The city also has a long-standing reputation for producing countless actors and actresses, artists, athletes, comedians, journalists, novelists, and poets. Liverpool has the second highest number of art galleries, national museums, listed buildings, and listed parks in the UK; only the capital, London, has more. In sports, the city is best known for being the home of Premier League football teams Liverpool FC and Everton FC, with matches between the two rivals being known as the Merseyside derby.
World Heritage Site

Several areas of Liverpool city centre carried World Heritage Site status from 2004 until 2021. Its status as a port city historically attracted a diverse population from a wide range of cultures. Liverpool is also home to the oldest black community in the UK and the oldest Chinese community in Europe. Natives of Liverpool (and some long-time residents) are formally referred to as “Liverpudlians” but are more often called “Scousers” in reference to Scouse, a local stew made popular by sailors in the city, which is also the most common name for the local accent and dialect.
