Liverpool
Liverpool is a city with a big heart – yes it may be a little
maverick at times but that’s a huge part of its charm.
Architecturally it’s a city of statement and grandeur, and we’re
not just talking iconic cathedrals and galleries – the city boasts
more Georgian terraces than Bath and the imposing Victorian
warehouses of the city centre are finding new life as boutique
hotels and fine restaurants.
The character of has always been irrepressibly cheery, even
in the worst of times, but Liverpudlians have now got a big reason
to smile as the city gears up for its stint as European Capital of
Culture in 2008 with a surge in artistic activity and a significant
physical facelift. Despite the scale of the city’s reclaimed
historic docks and warehouses, the city centre is surprisingly
compact and easy to get around, and there’s absolutely nothing
aloof or distant about the warmth of the Liverpudlian welcome.
