Liverpool is a city with great identity, great people and some even better things to do.
As a result, we’ve decided to create a little bucket list. Not your usual bucket list, either. We’re not a fan of “by the book” so there isn’t a Lamb Banana or Yellow Duck Submarine in sight. Not to say that those things aren’t great but we’d like to take you down some streets you might never have ventured down before. If you live here, study here or plan on visiting for a few days, do a couple of these below if you fancy experiencing the real Liverpool. There’ll be a special Scouse passport waiting at the end for you.
