More about the trip
200 hundered years ago, 40% of the world's trade was passing through
Liverpool. These days, millions of people are passing through the city
because it has been chosen to be the European City of Culture
in
2008. To show off its cultural life, all around the
city
you'll find events covering music, visual arts, performing arts, street
theatre,
sport, architecture and heritage, and most are FREE! We'll show you
where to go and what to see including some of our favourite
sculptures.
Tall Ships'
Race
Liverpool Football
Club
Liverpool Football Club in the English Premiership
are the most
successful club in the history of English football - they've won 18
English League titles, 5 European Cups and the FA Cup and League Cup 7
times. They've played at Anfield since 1892, but plans to move to a new
stadium in a couple of years will mean this could be your last
opportunity to visit this famous stadium and the original 'Kop' - the
part of the stadium where the fans could "suck the ball into the goal"
if Liverpool were playing towards that end.
The Beatles
The Beatles, one of the most successful bands in
history, were from
Liverpool. All around the city you'll find connections (which we can
show you!) - the Cavern Club, the Cavern Pub, the John Lennon Statue,
Lennon's Bar, Eleanor Rigby Statue, and more.
