The signs of past tribulations are still plain to see, but let's call that patina.Liverpool is a city on the ascendant, and in this guide we present a careful selection of 39 entries, encompassing cultural diversions, book and record shops, wonderful food, and a generous selection of pubs. Liverpool? Yeah, yeah, yeah.Designed by John Mata.
About the author
Most guides try to tell you everything there is to know about a city, we just tell you how to enjoy it. It is our aim to show the reader what makes a place distinctive, to shed light on obscure locations as well as revisiting well-known ones with a fresh perspective. We research each city the old-fashioned way: asking friends, acquaintances, cab drivers and concierges for their tips and then walking, tasting, sipping, and peering into doorways and down alleys. We turn that research into a compact guide with enough suggestions to keep you entertained, with a list of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, galleries, museums and parks, each one carefully described.
