\nRich in Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Liverpool has more listed buildings than anywhere in Britain, except for Westminster. This is because the city had the world\u2019s largest port from the 19th century up until the 20th. Liverpool operates seven museums and galleries including the recently opened Museum of Liverpool,\u00a0kids\u2019 favourite<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0World Museum Liverpool, the fascinating Merseyside Maritime Museum, stunning Walker Art Gallery and thought-provoking\u00a0International Slavery Museum.<\/strong><\/a> The city is an important centre for culture not just in the northwest of England, but also the United Kingdom more broadly. Its contributions to culture internationally were recognised in 2008, when it was named the European Capital of Culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou say Liverpool, most people will make an immediate association\nwith stars of past years like the Beatles, Gerry and the Pace Makers\nand Cilla Black. However, Liverpool is still a powerhouse of musical\ntalent with up and coming bands and solo artists taking top spots in\nnational awards and making their mark overseas. What\u2019s more\nexciting is that some of these rising stars can be heard every\nweekend in the bars and clubs around the city; a city with a night\nscene that you can explore almost completely on foot.
