United Kingdom - Liverpool

Liverpool is a city forming the heart of the metropolitan county of Merseyside in the northwest of England. The city is probably most famous for being home of The Beatles, the “ferry across the Mersey”, the Three Graces – the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building - and Liverpool and Everton football clubs. The current city population is just over 500,000, with a Merseyside metropolitan area population of approximately 1.4 million. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting over 42 million visitors overall to the Liverpool City Region in 2021, and contributing over £3.5 billion (€4 billion) to the local economy. The numbers are still below pre-pandemic levels but are recovering steadily.

Liverpool is just over two hours from London by rail. Liverpool John Lennon Airport offers 60 direct destinations, while Manchester Airport, offering 160 destinations, is just over one hour away by car. The city centre is a short distance from the M62 that links into the national motorway network.
