City guide
Liverpool
Liverpool trades on music and maritime history without turning either into a theme park โ the Beatles industry sits alongside a tough, funny, genuinely working-class city with two huge football clubs and a UNESCO-listed Georgian quarter. The Albert Dock's restored Victorian warehouses anchor the museum waterfront, while Ropewalks and the Baltic Triangle carry the city's real nightlife and creative scene. It rewards more than a quick Beatles-and-football day trip.
