    American here - I spent a few days in Liverpool a week ago & I am absolutely obsessed with the place, its history, its people (!!), the variation of architecture and landscape (half an hour rail ride to Formby will take you to the most beautiful dune beach, while a half hour ride in the other direction takes you to the most gorgeous Parisian park.) And do not even get me started on the food scene - I don’t think Liverpool’s capable of making bad food!! The youthful edge & playfulness give you such a cornucopia of unique activities to do, with the Baltic Triangle being some of my favorite bits of the city. I can’t wait to come back - it felt like my soul’s home. ❤

    I am a private hire taxi driver in Liverpool. When the people hear my accent, they always ask where am I from. When I say I came from Hungary, the typical jokes what they say:"I am starving". 😅 One time when I answered "I am from Hungary".he said, "Me too". Of course he wasn't. When we finished the fare, the price was around 5.60 pounds, he gave me a twenty. I started to calculate the change, but he said to keep it. I said is more than triple! What did he say? "But you are hungry!" It was a big laugh. What a guy?! So yes, the people are really friendly and chatfull here and I didn't regret to move here from London 8 years ago.

    As someone who moved to Liverpool from the south about 15 years ago, I couldnt agree more with your lovely review. You are right about the sense of humour - Liverpudlians are quick-witted and creative. It's one of my favourite things (my wife is a Scouser). Even when they're seemingly insulting you, it's usually meant in an endearing way. I swear this city is one of the most unique places in the UK. By far the friendliest and passionate city in the country. You can have a chat with strangers in the street without them thinking it's weird. You can't do that in London. I will never ever live down south again. If you're ever thinking of moving here, or just visting, please do it. The people will be so welcoming. Thanks you Liverpool for restoring my faith in humanity ❤

Mathew St on a Saturday night is absolutely insane, especially when the weather is warm. People are fantastic, there’s a lot going on in that area, plenty of live music. Albert Dock is also very nice and spent some time at Crosby Beach which is lovely again in warm weather, and of course visiting Anfield as a Liverpool supporter. Great city!

      A little experiment I did this week, I was parked in a car in a major car park in the next big city to Liverpool, a city that will remain nameless, but, ahem ! You know who I mean.
      So I sat with the hood up, and had the jump leads hanging out the front for half an hour, the battery was flat, but I had a new one in the boot that I jumped started the car with. The people I was with had a one last errand to run, so I waited with my six-year-old nephew, and not once did a person ask if we needed help ?
      It annoyed me that much, I showed my brother the next day that Liverpool people wouldn't ignore someone in trouble, so I did the same thing, I sat in a Liverpool car park to see what the results would be,
      and do you know what happened ?, I got fed up with a ton of people asking me if I needed help, hahaha,
      It's the things like this that make me love my city.

    As a Dubliner, we filled four days with great tourism 24 hours a day. It's an unmissable city. Highlight was a Magical Tour in a painted Rolls limo to all the Beatle sites with a fabulous driver. From very serious unsavoury history to rocking music venues there's something for all moods. Wolter is a great guide - gets essence spot on and genuinely loved Liverpool.

Loved the people coming in with their fiddles and those drums and things and playing the music - and it wasn't for the tourists it was just some locals.

I live in Cheshire now, my young son and I came into Lime St by train and needed to get to the Travel Inn across town. This big Mercedes pulled up and the window went down "where ya goin mate? I told him, "ger in, I am goin that way". He took us and wouldn't take a penny. It's that generosity I miss, it's the people. Thank you for this great review.

    I live in Formby, about 10 miles north of Liverpool. I was born here, lived in the USA from age 11 to 25 and then moved back 3 years ago. And my ancestors were some of the Irish fleeing the Great Famine, but they were so poor they could only afford to get as far away as Liverpool! You're spot on about how brutal Scouse humour can be! And you're also right about how Scousers have mellowed about football. Back before my time wearing the wrong kit in the wrong place could put you in danger, but now it'll just get you some good natured ribbing. I bleed Everton blue.
    Doing the Beatles tour is a definite must for any first time visitor to Liverpool. "Paddy's Wigwam" is an eyesore, but the Gothic cathedral is definitely worth a visit. Liverpool's safety has improved quite a bit lately, but there are still a few no-go areas such as Toxteth and parts of Fazakerley.

    Liverpool feels so "different". The atmosphere, the architecture, the riverside, the accent - it feels like you've left England and gone to a different country. Almost. Not quite but almost.
    listen out for local variations in expressions too eg
    go for a bevvie = go for a drink
    a lolly ice = an ice lolly (popsicle to Americans)
    the bizzies = the police
    carry out = take-away

    Hey! I’ve watched the channel for years & it’s great to see you in my hometown! It’s impressive how well travelled you are & how true everything on the list is.
    It’s great to see someone not from the city not playing up to the usual stereotypes for a change. The video is an incredibly accurate representation of Liverpool & everything we stand for.
    Enjoy your stay here!!
