City Centre

Liverpool is a city steeped in history and heritage. Winner of the Capital of Culture 2008, the city has something for everyone with breathtaking architecture, a prestigious cultural scene, a thriving waterfront, and a restaurant and nightlife scene that is amongst the UK's best.

Liverpool city centre has undergone something of a renaissance over recent years. The LiverpoolOne shopping development is the largest in Europe and has transformed the City Centre. Other impressive redevelopment projects include the Paradise Development, new Liverpool Museum, and the state of the art Echo Arena in Kings Dock, which have all breathed huge life into the City. Regeneration work continues in the Ropewalks area, and more exciting new plans are in place to further improve its famous waterfront.

Whether its music, fine arts, theatre, great food or a night out on the town you are after, Liverpool has the very best of everything and will have you amazed and entertained.
