Some key neighbourhoods in Liverpool include:
Baltic Triangle is known for being home to creatives, musicians and artists. It’s a relaxed part of town close to Chinatown and a short walk from the city centre. There’s a lot of individual shops, cafés and bistros here, as well as galleries and places to chill or explore, depending on your mood.
Liverpool city centre is where the action is at. It’s a convenient place to live but might be noisy and a little too lively at times. It’s busy, energetic, friendly and interesting with plenty of shopping, dining, takeaways, pubs, bars, clubs and things to see and do.

It’s full of shops, cafés, an e-sports club, music, pubs, bars and John Lennon’s old haunt, Ye Cracke. It’s a relaxed area with a cool vibe, so it's a nice place to spend time in.
Ropewalks was voted one of the UK’s ‘hippest’ areas, but don’t hold that against it. The area is an eclectic mix of independent stores, bohemian businesses, bakeries, cafés, bistros, the Michael Jackson Moonwalker mural and St Luke’s the bombed-out church.
Wavertree is a very popular student area with lots going on. It’s geared up for students, so has plenty of shops, pubs, bars, cafés, takeaways and supermarkets. It’s a short walk or bus ride to the University of Liverpool and is a nice place to spend time in.
