Liverpool is a city in Merseyside, England, famed for its music, sport and nightlife. A great thing about Liverpool is the architecture - for so long it was neglected and run down, but these days most of the city centre is quite splendid. - St. George's Hall Located on Lime Street (near the station), this is a mammoth of a Greco-Roman-style building which was built by wealthy merchants for the people of the city. Inside it has one of the best church organs in Europe, while on the outside it has a selection of classical murals which were thought quite shocking in their day (due to the shameful female nudity).
- Liverpool Museum (near St. George's Hall) - fine building and well worth a visit. Contains an excellent collection of British rocketry exhibits as well as the best Egyptological collection outside London.
- Liverpool Central Library (near St. George's Hall) is a fine building full of books, no doubt.
- Walker Art Gallery one of the finest collections of fine and decorative art in Europe, inspiring and delighting visitors for over 120 years. New galleries mean even more fantastic items are on display from Renaissance masters to contemporary innovators.
- Royal Liver Building The home of the legendary Liver Birds that sit atop the building looking out across to the Wirral. The river-facing face of the clock is 6 feet larger in diameter than that of the clock tower at Westminster.
- Albert Dock One of the more sophisticated places in Liverpool - old warehouses converted into shops, apartments, restaurants and pubs. Also home to the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
- Princes Road Synagogue offers an impressive combination of Gothic and Moorish architecture by the Audsley brothers. The colourful interior has to be seen to be believed.
- Everton Football Club One of the founder members of the football league and the better supported team on Merseyside by the local community.
- Liverpool Football Club Five times Champions of Europe and the most successful football (soccer) club in England.
- The Mersey Ferries Immortalised by the hit song Ferry 'cross the Mersey by Gerry & the Pacemakers, the Mersey Ferries offer a fun day out and a great way to see Liverpool from afar.
- The Liverpool Playhouse is a theatre in Williamson Square which dates back to 1844. Over the years, the theatre has presented many famous actors including Michael Redgrave, Anthony Hopkins and Noel Coward.
