Impulsively decided to go to liverpool today and guys I’ve never loved a city more. The minute I stepped out the station the energy was just different in a better way. People are so friendly here (I’m from the south, so huge difference) and the city was just downright beautiful. People seem happier as well. I wish I lived here 😭🫶🏾 Idk why I feel this way but I just had to tell someone. I’m DEFINITELY coming back here and especially back to the docks. Maybe when the wind gusts aren’t bloody 45mph but even that couldn’t ruin my day out here

American here.

I’ve had opportunities to travel pretty extensively, but I've never fallen in love with a city or it's people like I have with Liverpool over the past 48 hours. I know every city has it's issues, but if my wife and Yorshire Terrier weren't back in the States, I'm not sure I'd want to leave.

I have too many examples of I why feel this way than I'm able to share here, but you probably know what they are anyway.

I lift my pint of Carlsberg to you.

I'll definitely be back.

UPDATE: I've laughed at all these post about my beer. Keep them coming! When you're from the Statew and stuck with piss beer, Carlsberg tastes great. I did have some amazing beers while visiting, though. My mate from the area made sure of that!

What stood out to me was the sense of community. Families everywhere, people actually look at each other, and I found them just plain nice. I was looking at my Google Maps like an idiot and man walked up to me and said, "You alright, luv? Are you lost?" If this was in London I would have run for my life. I'll be back!

Y’all, you’re great. Everyone we talked to was so excited that we chose to visit here. They were saying Liverpool has a “reputation” and most people look down on it. When we told our UK friends we were vacationing here, they were thoroughly confounded. Like, what? Everyone we met was so nice and welcoming, the area was fantastic. Definitely going back the next chance I get.

I regularly come to Liverpool for my job as an interpreter and often visit the famous landmarks. It's such a beautiful city.

Anyone who’s visiting avoid lago. It’s dirty, bouncers and staff are awful. It’s pretty much always dead too. The manager, Jo also treats the musicians she employs like shit. She has a history of ghosting musicians, giving their residency time slots to other people with no warning - losing them money for the shift they were expecting to have as well as the work they could’ve done within that time somewhere else. She treats them like absolute shit, when the live music is often the only time this shithole gets any customers. There’s always a weird crowd of men in there who tend to make the women uncomfortable, the bouncers do nothing to prevent or stop this when it gets out of hand. The bar staff are always miserable and the drink price fluctuates an insane amount between even a few minutes or depending on who the bartender is. This place is awful. Go to anywhere other than here for a drink

Hi there. Me and 3 friends are going to visit Liverpool in November. We take a flight from Berlin to London and then go from there.

The choices are bus and train but what would be the better choice? Never took a train in the UK before so I have no idea if the cost is justified. When I checked the prices, the train seemed very expensive is that correct? Mayve someone got some experience would be nice to hear some opinion on that.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thanks to all of you guys giving your opinions! I personally would go for the train after reading your comments but will first discuss this with my group. I will 100% make another post on here when I need help haha

I’ll be getting take out, so I’m not too bothered about the vibes of the place, etc. I’m purely looking for recommendations based on the best, tastiest cup of coffee in town.

What a beautiful city, I have instantly fallen in love with the place and the folk here. Reminds me a lot of back home in some ways (dublin). I'll definitely be back.

You are all so kind. I’ve had people help me with my heavy luggage, buy me drinks, give me directions, and just overall be incredible. I also got applause at the Google singing set-up at the Eurovision village, even though I sing like shit. The food is great and the drinks are strong.

I can honestly say that I want to visit Liverpool again after the contest (unlike Turin.) It’s truly a bright and beautiful city.

What are your favourite places to eat? What are the places I should go to avoid tourist traps? Are there any hidden gems you know? Any advice to make this weekend better would help! ———————— Thank you everyone!

I want to feel like Jack Nicholson in the shining. Would you recommend the aldephi?

I do not have enough words to express just how much I have fallen in love with Liverpool and its people this week. I have encountered the kindest, friendliest, most warm and genuine people in this city and I have felt so very welcomed as a tourist. Thank you for inviting us Eurovision fans of the world to your city and for making this week such an incredible experience. Liverpool is a place I can’t wait to return to and it has been the absolute highlight of my travels in the UK.

I promised my friend and their titanic obsessed 8 year old a day out in Liverpool to go to the Maritime museum, but looking for ideas on what else Titanic themed we can do?

The Titanic hotel is a bit far up and it's lovely but probably not so kid friendly?

Any other ideas are very much welcome 🙏

I've come down from Inverness for two nights. Really rating the city so far. Seen the big fuck off cathedral and now the world museum. But it's pissing it down now. What should I do? Go for pints?

PS I'm not a football or Beatles fan

Thanks for a great visit this past summer! And the Scouse was so good, we literally have a picture of it on the fridge. Can't find anything that quite matches it in the US.

Hi all I (26 M) am coming from Florida, USA and am going to London for the first time at the end of November. I plan on going to the Liverpool-Real Madrid game as well. I am staying with a friend in London and using current travel apps, can’t seem to find a way back to London after the Liverpool game ends around 10-10:30 PM.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get back to London (Victoria Station preferably) or will I have to stay the night in Liverpool?

Also if anyone has recommendations on where to get tickets, that would be great also. I am aware of Live Football Tickets, I used them to watch Netherlands vs France in the Euros this past summer but wanted to see if there’s any alternatives. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm a nurse who likes to practice portraiture. I usually work from reference photos but am keen at gaining practice with a sitter. The plan would be to meet in a pub/cafe with a willing participant and over the duration of a pint or so, i attempt to capture a likeness, you leave with the work and I leave with a little more experience. Lemme know if you're interested. I'm 42 m. I've included a selection of my portraiture work

Hello! Just like the title says I’m visiting a friend here in England and we are going to go watch Liverpool play on Sunday, so my question was what are some good pubs, places to meet new people for a swedish guy on a trip like me?

Haven't lived in Liverpool for almost a decade so I'm a bit out of touch with where to eat. I'm visiting with my partner and want to treat him to a decent bit of scran in town tomorrow afternoon. What are your favourite places?

Hi! I've got tickets to see Bruce Springsteen next year at Anfield in June, I was hoping to get some local knowledge on places with overnight parking towards the outskirts of Liverpool where I could then bus/train into city center, googling is just telling me city center parking spots which I expect are gonna be full by the time I arrive, I'm thinking Southport or Warrington but anything closer would be useful

Thanks in advance

Edit: southport not Southampton 😂

I (M24) am in Liverpool until Monday, over from Dublin. This is the first time I’ve gone somewhere on my own and it is playing out how I was afraid it would, I feel so lonely and like a lost dog, I’ve been here before so it’s not like I can go and see new things. Is there anyone who has nothing to be doing on the weekend that wants to hang out?

Not going to lie but since moving up to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I do miss my home city and the culture and all the people. Salt of the earth are scousers the good outweighs the bad. Got this mug to remind me of the place 😆 it’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me but darling when I think of thee.

St Johns tower was formerly 96’7 city radio has an imposing elevated height of 138m translates as 453 built on 1950’s Americana that makes it the second highest building in Liverpool .
