Liverpool
This exciting city is preparing itself to become European City of Culture in 2008. Boasting myriad attractions such as the Albert Dock, Maritime Museum and Beatles Experience, visitors are never short of things to do and see. Important cultural sites include the Walker and Tate art galleries, a museum of the moving image, and the centre contains many striking examples of modern and Victorian architecture. Constantly evolving music, artistic and nightlife scenes are supported as is a healthy obsession with football.
