There is no other British city quite like Liverpool. Explore its maritime history which made it one of the world’s great ports, to the cobbled streets of the cavern quarter that inspired a whole generation and gave the world the Beatles.

Take a walk along Liverpool’s famous waterfront and take in the magnificence of the Three Graces and the Albert Dock. There is day out for everyone in Liverpool and it never disappoints.

Inviting, original, edgy, happening, different: spend any time in Manchester and you’ll soon see it’s a place like no other. This free-spirited city demands your attention with a warm, no-nonsense welcome and a liberating open-mindedness that challenges you to take part.

Manchester is a dramatic mix of old and new. The futuristic design and innovative shapes of its contemporary architecture sit side by side with the spires and grinning gargoyles of its proud past.

footsteps of Morrissey, look out for the next Happy Mondays or Oasis, enjoy world-class classical performances, or club it like there’s no tomorrow...
