POPULATION : 479,000 - 91.5% described themselves as 'white' and 2.3% as Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani Liverpool is more than just a city with a big reputation - It's the centre of a vast area of beauty, culture and entertainment that deserves exploration. Many of the attractions on offer are superb value or even free. A stroll around the UNESCO-listed waterfront will take up a morning and probably fill your camera's memory card.The Three Graces, Albert Dock and Pier Head are as iconic as they are dramatic, and delving into their history in the city's museums is an enlightening (and free) experience. The beaches and dunes in Sefton and around Wirral Peninsula should be pencilled in for a sunny day, and the villages and rural idyll that starts at the outskirts will make for many a memorable day-trip. It was founded as a borough in 1207 and was granted city status in 1880. Liverpool is the fourth largest city in the United Kingdom (third largest in England) In 2004, several areas throughout the city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO. Referred to as the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City, the site comprises six separate locations in the city including the Pier Head, Albert Dock and William Brown Street and includes many of the city's most famous landmarks. In 2007 the city celebrated the 800th anniversary of the foundation of the borough of Liverpool. Liverpool is home to Britain's oldest Black community, dating to at least the 1730s, and some Black Liverpudlians are able to trace their ancestors in the city back ten generations. The city is also home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe; the first residents of the city's Chinatown arrived as seamen in the nineteenth century. Liverpool has more galleries and national museums than any other city in the United Kingdom apart from London.
