In its annual Best Places to Live guide, the judges praised the city for its 'booming science and tech scene', Everton's new stadium - which is currently under construction - and the neighbouring Ten Streets area, as well as its 'community spirit, watersports, boot camps on the beach, independent shops, and quirky places to eat and drink'.
They said: "There are lots of reasons to be optimistic about Liverpool — not just Eurovision, but also the booming reputation for science and tech and grand projects such as the new Everton Stadium and new film studios.
