IT ONCE labelled Liverpool the "symbol of national decline".
But now the Rough Guide is back with its tail between its legs. Authors of the world-famous travellers "bible" have heaped praise on Merseyside in the latest edition of the Rough Guide to England.
Top-class attractions, exciting new developments such as the Fourth Grace, and the region's musical and cultural heritage are all reasons why Merseyside is the place to visit.
Editor Chris Wilkinson said: "Many of England's cities and towns have been revamping themselves, defeating long-held stereotypes.
"Perhaps the greatest transformation of all is Liverpool.
"This review is an important sign that Liverpool's image is improving and that the old stereotypes are fading away.
"Those of us who live and work here know the city has some of the finest museums in Britain, including stunning permanent collections and spectacular exhibitions that pull in the crowds."
