The City of Liverpool

Liverpool has its own distinctive style. The city has more galleries and museums than any other city outside London and boasts outstanding architecture around virtually every corner. The shops are great too, with boutiques and designer outlets as well as independent labels and high street stores.

You'll never be stuck for somewhere to eat thanks to an increasing number of restaurants and cafes, catering for every taste and budget. Plus, with over 250 city centre bars, pubs and clubs, you won't have to work too hard to have a great night out.

Liverpool loves football but the city also hosts world class rugby league, horse racing, tennis, sailing and golf competitions. If you love nature, you'll be spoilt for choice. Five national parks are only a couple of hours drive away, and Liverpool John Lennon Airport boasts excellent links with the rest of the UK and Europe. All this plus over 2000 acres of parkland within the city itself.

Liverpool's love of music embraces much more than just the Fab Four, through events such as Africa Oye, Europe's largest African music festival. With such a warm and hospitable culture - Liverpool is the perfect 24-hour study city.
