Experience in Liverpool, United Kingdom by Daniel

What is it like to live in Liverpool? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Liverpool is a vibrant, multicultural city in the heart of North-West England. Much of the city is centrally located in terms of museums, shop and entertainment. It is a safe city, and has great links with rail, sea and air. It has its own airport and is a short train ride away from Manchester Airport direct. I would recommend the city for its charm and character.
