Liverpool Apartment Types
Liverpool is a historic and cultural port city, famous for its vibrant music scene, lively nightlife and sporting passions. It's a popular city for tourists from around the world, often voted one of the best UK city break destinations.
History
King John announced the foundation of the borough of Liverpool in 1207, but it remained a small settlement until the seventeenth century. The first cargo from the Americas arrived in Liverpool's docks in 1648, and shortly afterwards the city gained separate customs authority from Chester, setting the scene for a dramatic increase in international trade, the expansion of the docks and an accompanying population growth. In the twentieth century, Liverpool became famous as the home of the popular sixties Merseybeat music scene, headed by The Beatles.
Getting In & Getting Around
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is set in the south of the city, providing air links to a range of destinations in the UK and Europe. Manchester Airport is within an hour's drive, and offers international flights around the world. The Port of Liverpool provides passenger ferry services across the Irish Sea, and the city has a modern cruise liner terminal. Liverpool's main railway station, Lime Street, provides connections throughout the UK and the local area. Getting around the city is easy, as the city centre is fairly compact - you'll be able to walk to a range of sights from your Liverpool accommodation - or you can use the regular bus services throughout the city.
Culture, Sights & Attractions
Liverpool is a fantastic, cultural city - named as European Capital of Culture in 2008. Famous as the home of the Beatles and the Merseybeat scene of the sixties, it's also home to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - the oldest orchestra in the UK. With such a vibrant music scene, you'll always be able to find a concert within easy reach of our Liverpool apartments. The city offers a wide range of attractions, including the Albert Dock, the Tate Liverpool and a selection of fascinating museums. A trip on the ferry across the Mersey is also recommended.
Eating Out
The Mersey area is a great place to dine out, offering everything from fine cuisine to fish and chips. You'll find an excellent range of restaurants close to your Liverpool accommodation, with something to suit all tastes. Traditional pub food is also a superb choice - try some local favourites, like Scouse, the stew which shares its name with the local dialect.
Outside The City
The Mersey area gives you an excellent base for exploring the sights of the North West. Crosby, just north of Liverpool, is a popular destination, with Anthony Gormley's "Another Place" sculptures standing along the beach. Chester, to the south, is a beautiful and historic city, and a lovely place to shop. From our Liverpool apartments, you'll also be able to explore many of the sights of North Wales - the seaside resort of Llandudno is only an hour and a half away by car.
