Liverpool has once again taken its place on the global stage, earning recognition in both the Best Cities in the UK and Friendliest Cities in the UK categories in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2025.

Voted for by hundreds of thousands of travellers around the world, the annual awards celebrate destinations that make a lasting impression. Liverpool ranked ninth in the Best Cities list, praised for its creative spirit, world-class culture, and vibrant social scene.

From the iconic Royal Albert Dock and the celebrated Walker Art Gallery to the legendary Cavern Club, birthplace of The Beatles, the city’s blend of history, music, and art continues to captivate visitors.

This isn’t the first time Liverpool has featured in these awards, but it’s yet another reminder of the city’s enduring charm. With its rich maritime heritage, thriving arts scene, and famously warm welcome, Liverpool continues to stand out as one of the UK’s most loved destinations.
