Liverpool is bursting with culture and heritage with its maritime and musical history, legendary football teams, the greatest jump race and the largest number of galleries and museums outside of the capital. 2018 is the 10 year anniversary of being crowned European Capital of Culture, a pivotal moment in Liverpool's history which saw the year-long programme of events bring bumper visitor numbers and a multi-million pound boost to the economy. #Liverpool2018 will see the stunning tall ships regatta return as part of a programme of music, festivals, food and performance throughout the year. Liverpool's Albert Dock will be hosting many events and attractions but it's a fantastic destination in its own right. Originally used by sailing ships carrying cargos of cotton, brandy and sugar, the dock remained fully functional until the 1970s. Today, the iconic architecture is the setting for a vibrant arts and music scene as well as being home to museums devoted to the city's maritime history, including its links to the ill-fated Titanic, and historical and contemporary slavery. On a lighter note, Tate Liverpool, which celebrates its 30th anniversary, hosts national and international exhibitions, including photography, sculpture and installations.

The Spice Girls, Freddie Mercury, Oasis and the Sex Pistols feature as well as The Beatles, although true Beatle fans will need to head into the city to experience The Beatles Story which starts, where else but The Cavern Club. Dining at Albert Dock offers great choice. A particular favourite is the pirate themed Smugglers Cove which has a deli style menu rotisserie and BBQ with the bar offering world famous rums, a rum cocktail menu and fine champagnes along with more traditional ale, cider and beer.
