- Liverpool és una ciutat situada al nord-oest d'Anglaterra, al comtat metropolità de Merseyside, sobre el costat nord de l'estuari del riu Mersey. Éstà governada pel Liverpool City Council, un dels cinc consells del Merseyside. És el segon port d'exportació del Regne Unit. La ciutat se situava originalment al comtat de Lancashire. Limita al nord amb el borough de Sefton, a l'est amb el de Knowsley i a l'oest i al sud amb el riu Mersey. Liverpool és coneguda per ser un centre cultural, particularment per les seves connexions amb les noves tendències musicals; aquí van néixer The Beatles. El 2007 va celebrar el seu 800è aniversari, i el 2008 fou triada com a Capital Europea de la Cultura. Va ser fundada com a vila el 1207 i va tenir aquest estatus fins al 1880, quan va rebre el títol de ciutat. Segons l'últim cens oficial, que data del 2001, Liverpool tenia una població de 439.473 habitants, aquesta xifra augmenta lleugerament fins als 454.654 habitants segons estimacions per a l'any 2009. Amb l'Àrea Metropolitana de Liverpool la població ascendeix a 816.216 habitants. Històricament pertanyent al comtat de Lancashire, la urbanització i expansió de Liverpool es va deure en gran part a la seva condició de ciutat portuària important. Al segle XVIII, el comerç amb les Índies Occidentals, amb l'Europa continental i el tràfic d'esclaus a l'Atlàntic va promoure l'expansió econòmica de la ciutat. A principis del segle XIX, el 40% del comerç marítim mundial passava pels molls de Liverpool. Actualment és el segon port del Regne Unit en volum d'exportacions després de Londres. La popularitat de The Beatles i de l'equip de futbol Liverpool Football Club contribueixen a convertir Liverpool en una destinació turística, el turisme juga un paper significant en l'economia de la ciutat. El 2007 va celebrar el seu 800 aniversari, i a l'any següent va ser Capital Europea de la Cultura al costat de la ciutat noruega de Stavanger. El 2004 diverses zones del centre de la ciutat van ser declarades Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO. Conegut com la «Ciutat mercantil marítima de Liverpool», el lloc comprèn sis localitzacions separades de la ciutat, incloent «Pier Head", "Albert Dock» i el «carrer William Brown»; inclou la majoria dels punts d'interès més famosos de la ciutat.

- Liverpool egy város és érseki kerület Észak-Nyugat-Angliában, a Mersey folyó tölcsértorkolatának keleti oldalánál. A város egy hegygerincre épült, melynek legmagasabb pontja az Everton domb, 70 méterrel magasodik a tenger fölé. Északról Sefton, keletről pedig Knowsley kerülete határolja, míg a Mersey túlpartján Birkenhead és Wallasey városával néz farkasszemet. A város központja mintegy 5 mérföldnyire van a Liverpool öböltől és az Ír-tengertől. Liverpoolt, amely Anglia egyik legjelentősebb, és ötödik legnépesebb városa, a Liverpool Városi Tanács kormányozza, egyike annak az öt tanácsnak, ami Merseyside grófságban működik. A 2002-es népszámlálás adatai szerint a városnak 441 477 lakosa van, Merseyside grófsággal együtt pedig 1 362 026 fő tartozik hozzá. Liverpool lakosai magukat nem angoloknak, hanem Liverpudliknak, „Scouser”-öknek tartják, mely elnevezés a jellegzetes liverpooli ételből (scouse, magyarul vagdalt húsos főzelék) adódik. Később a scouse kifejezés a liverpooli dialektus szinonimájává is vált. A 19. század végére Liverpool a „Birodalom Második Kikötője” lett, köszönhetően annak, hogy London után a legtöbb áru a Mersey parti városon ment keresztül. Ekkorra jelentős ipari központtá is vált a település, és bár mára a gyárak nagy része megszűnt, még mindig jól ismert tengeri kikötőváros. Liverpool a hazája két, nemzetközileg is jól ismert labdarúgó klubnak, az Everton FC-nek és a Liverpool FC-nek. A sport mellett nemzetközi hírű kulturális központ is a város, különösen híres a könnyűzenéről, hiszen Liverpool, többek között minden idők egyik legsikeresebb együttesének, a Beatlesnek, valamint Heidi Rangenek (alapító Sugababe) is a szülővárosa. 2008-ban Liverpool volt Európa kulturális fővárosa.

Tegen de negentiende eeuw passeerde ruim 40 procent van de wereldhandel de Liverpoolse haven. Tegenwoordig is de havenfunctie van de stad grotendeels vervallen en is de toeristensector gegroeid dankzij de exponenten van de Merseybeat, waaronder The Beatles en Gerry & the Pacemakers.

- Liverpool é uma cidade do condado de Merseyside, localizado no noroeste da Inglaterra, Reino Unido, no lado norte do estuário do Mersey. A cidade está localizada no extremo sudoeste do condado tradicional de Lancashire. Em 29 de agosto de 1207, o Rei John Feris teve alvará que transformava a pequena vila de pescadores de Liverpool em município livre; um segundo alvará, outorgado por Henrique III em 1229, concedeu aos mercadores o direito de comércio sem necessidade de pagar taxas governamentais, nascendo assim o porto de Liverpool. Foi na fase final do reinado de Elizabeth I, na época do comércio com o novo mundo, que o porto da cidade se tornou a principal porta para o novo mundo. A grande peste de 1664 e o grande incêndio de 1666 em Londres fez com que muitos mercadores se mudassem para Liverpool e o porto prosperou.

- Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England, United Kingdom along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. It was founded as a borough in 1207 and was granted city status in 1880. It is the fourth most populous British city, and third most populous in England, with a 2011 population of 466,400 and is at the centre of a wider urban area, the Liverpool City Region, which has a population of around 2 million people. Historically a part of Lancashire, the urbanisation and expansion of Liverpool were both largely brought about by the city's status as a major port. By the 18th century, trade from the West Indies, Ireland and mainland Europe coupled with close links with the Atlantic Slave Trade furthered the economic expansion of Liverpool. By the early 19th century, 40% of the world's trade passed through Liverpool's docks, contributing to Liverpool's rise as a major city. Liverpool is also well known for its inventions and innovations, particularly in terms of infrastructure, transportation and general construction. Railways, ferries and the skyscraper were all pioneered in the city. Inhabitants of Liverpool are referred to as Liverpudlians but are also colloquially known as "Scousers", in reference to the local dish known as "scouse", a form of stew. The word "Scouse" has also become synonymous with the Liverpool accent and dialect. Liverpool's status as a port city has contributed to its diverse population, which, historically, were drawn from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, particularly those from Ireland. The city is also home to the oldest Black African community in the country and the oldest Chinese community in Europe. Labelled the World Capital City of Pop by Guinness World Records, artists of Liverpool origin have produced more number one singles than any other.
