With all this buzz around this great news for Liverpool, you'll notice the new buildings, bars and restaurants springing up all over the city. From pubs, cafes and clubs, to site seeing, shopping and activities, Liverpool is brimming with excitement and things to do.

Everyone is now talking about the Bus Boat tour which drives around Liverpool and then drives into the water at the Albert Dock to take you on a boat trip along the River Mersey.

We could go on forever about what you could or should do during your stay in Liverpool, whether to go to the Tate Gallery or to one of the many theatres. But to find out about what you can get up to, and Liverpool maps of how you can get there, when out in "the Pool", we recommend visiting VisitLiverpool.com , Locallife.co.uk and Albertdock.com.
