I first fell in love with the city of Liverpool, back in 1998.  Stunning beauty and a sense of humour to die for.  After reading the following, I want you to fall in love with Liverpool too!   

Music

Music is what makes Liverpool come alive.  Walk down any city centre street during the summer, and I guarantee you will hear some busker strumming along on their guitar.  The Beatles in the 1960s, firmly put Liverpool on the map with their 17 chart number ones. The city pays homage to them with a multitude of tours and museums to experience.

The city with two cathedrals

You will not see two finer pieces of architecture than the two cathedrals in the city of Liverpool.  The unique style and design of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is simply breathtaking. The Anglican Cathedral boasts being Britain’s biggest cathedral as well as 5^th largest in Europe.  Graduate from there like I did, and this place will hold a special place in your heart forevermore.  

Culture

Having been the European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool is a city absolutely drenched in culture.  Did you know that it has more museums and galleries than anywhere else outside of London? It also has 2,500 listed buildings and 250 public monuments.  My personal recommendation is visiting the Royal Liver Building with its two iconic Liver Birds.

Sport

Come to Liverpool and you will discover a north-west city that has sport running through its veins. Liverpool Football Club together with Everton Football Club, are both famous throughout the world and have stadium tours to enjoy.  The Grand National is the world’s most famous steeplechase.  It is watched by a staggering 600 million people worldwide.

Humour

People from Liverpool are called “scousers” and their quirky, mickey-taking sense of humour is a thing of pure delight.  The key thing about people from Liverpool is that they do not take themselves too seriously.  Come to Liverpool and you are certain to enjoy scouse banter!

Education

With a multitude of universities right on its doorstep, Liverpool has a thriving student population that gives the city a cosmopolitan feel.  With all its culture and stimulating history, it really is one of the great places to study in.

From The Beatles, to the football teams, to the jaw-dropping architecture, Liverpool has something to offer everybody.  That was my love letter to Liverpool. I do hope to see you again soon my dear old friend!
