    The other thing as a tourist to watch out for is in liverpool is our very dry sense of humour! I once laugh my head off listening to the guy taking the tickets to get onto the famous mersey ferry talking to a group of german tourists telling them that unfortunately the roof top swimming pool and tennis courts were closed - its a very small boat not a cruise ship! This completely baffled the Germans as it was said with a straight face! Scousers will always be looking for the joke in a situation!

    To add to that i would say Liverpool has always been that way ......from opening ther arms to the irish during the famine , to the oldest chinese community in europe and the oldest black community in britain,so id say the beatles were definately a product of their environment! as carl sagan described the city "the pool of life"

    Liverpool! ❤ is simply The best ! Liverpool is indeed a vibrant city with a lot to offer. It has so much to see, even outside of the city center, such as Sefton Park, Calderstones Park, or Lark Lane. I lived there for over 7 years, but now I'm in London due to personal reasons. However, I can't wait to come back because I miss it so dearly! The Liverpool Library is to die for, and the whole city vibe and gorgeous architecture are something to look out for. Honestly, it baffles me that so many people have such a skewed perception of Liverpool.

    My wife and I (living in Southern England) visited Liverpool for one day on a cruise, and we were enchanted by the city. We went back for a three day visit and had many of the experiences your commentator describes. One thing he didn’t mention (at least not at the point I’m adding this comment) is that the two Cathedrals are both on Hope Street. Between the two is a pub called the Philharmonic, and tourist guides take people there to see the ceramic tiles in the men’s washroom.

    Great choice JJ. Im from Liverpool and im not a scouser. Liverpool is one the best cities on this planet. You wont be disappointed and the locals are very friendly. You'll be lucky if you can visit this place and see everything in a week, even two weeks it would be hectic. And the big guy is right on quite a few points here. The slave museum is a must, and you dont have to just go on official tours, which are great, but go and wander and explore for yourself you're safe here 100 % and always remember, ask the locals, they know all the hidden gems that this city is full of.

    If you were to go to liverpool then stopping off at Chester is a must, one of the most beautiful places in England and it's right by it. You could even go to north wales which has some of the best scenery our nation has to offer along with the amazing castles of caenarfon and conwy. The town of bangor is also a great destination there.
    You did claim to have new-found interest in blackpool, and whilst it's not really a place I'd recommend, if you do bother to travel up to it then you might as well continue on to the historic city of Lancaster. I'm sure that name might ring a bell for you.

    Liverpool was once a hugely important seaport. Indeed, it was called the second seaport of the British Empire. The docks were over 7 miles long and operated 24/7. 9,000,000 immigrants passed through Liverpool - from all over Europe -on the way to the US. Now, that means that today, over half of the population of the US must have an ancestor that passed through Liverpool.

    I wouldn't say the Beatles are "mainstream" in the usual sense. They MADE that stream, and everyone else followed it. And they're probably the only band where everyone relates to at least one of their songs. Everyone has their own intimate Beatles connection somewhere. Think of it that way. (and I definitely wouldn't wear a football jersey in Liverpool, but then again I'm an Arsenal fan, a London club that's one of Liverpool's major rivals!)

    You’d have a whale of a time in Liverpool. The key to a great/unforgettable time there though is simply interacting with the locals, as this man in the video said. One minute you’re having a friendly conversation with a Scouser in central Liverpool, and an hour later you’re in a pub with them, laughing away and making friends for life.

    Ah, I love that one of my favourite teenage hangout spots (the cemetery beneath Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, St. James Cemetery - don't judge me, it's very peaceful and pretty in autumn, with high vantage points) is featured in the video; fascinating mythologies and horror stories are associated with it, and very ancient tombstones. I definitely recommend visiting when you come. I miss home so much, but the beauty of studying in Cambridge, though very different, makes up for it.
    I was also baptised in the other, Catholic cathedral (Irish family, of course), when I was a baby! But the Gothic vibe of the Anglican, in my opinion, and the fact it is the largest in the country, makes it the better visit. But definitely go to both!

    They had to rebuild the Cavern. I was lucky to survive going there. One rickety wooden staircase, uneven floor in high heels, stage, chairs all wood. We were all dancing and smoking. Often got burnt by cigs. The loos were unmentionable. If a fire had started we would have all been killed.
    Scouse is made with lamb not beef. No red cabbage - that is from Lancashire. Liverpool has not been in Lancashire since 1974. My Liverpudlian grandfather was very proud of his birthplace but he would have clouted anyone who called him a scouser. That’s lower class.

    They also miss out Antony Gormley's 100 iron men on Crosby Beach, just a short Metro north of the CC to ( Blundellsands & Crosby station) P.S. the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is the worlds biggest one & take a trip up the tower, its fab veue.

    If any scouser asks you what colour you are? ... the answer is "same as you lar"
    The word lar is scouse for buddy/mate/friend.
    The question about colour may be red or blue, related to football (Liverpool or Everton)... or in those days ... orange or green related to religion. Orange is protestant and green is Catholic.
    In any case, "same as you lar" is the safest answer if you want to avoid trouble x

    Using Liverpool as your home base on a trip is a great idea. It's very easily accessible by train to get to lots of different places and your money will certainly go a LOT further up here than London.
    Flying in, dont think that London is your only option either, Manchester Airport is very well serviced too. Most places in the UK are easily reachable by public transport so don't think you need to hire a car or be tethered to where you land either.
    You would definately not regret a trip to Liverpool and the wider north of England

    If you do come to visit, try and get to see Birkenhead Park, almost 200 years old, on the other side of the water (Mersey); it heavily influenced NY's Central Park etc. Also Sefton ('Sevvie' Park) on the Liverpool side is worth going to and Clarke Gardens near Woolton and Camp Hill too. Port Sunlight and Lady Lever Art Gallery 'over the water' too and don't pass up Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool Museum, Picton Library or St George's (close to Lime Street Station) and the old Town Hall on Castle Street. So much to see in Liverpool tbh that a fortnight wouldn't cover it. As to 'red or blue?' I'm a red so would say red ofc, but the blues aren't bad and a bit older than the reds as they like to keep reminding us

I'm one of those that you might struggle to understand accent wise as i'm more old school but in general the accent is softer and you'd be ok understanding it. Something that annoys me with the latest generation though is the overuse of the word 'lad' , it can be 'rahr' over the top .

    IMO, the friendliness of the irish influenced the friendly vibe of Liverpool and in general the immigrant history of the city (where immigrants stay and thrive a sense of togetherness can sometimes develop that is magic). Also aside from this there are lots of cities in the UK that are very friendly, especially the further north you go but admittedly also there are lots of Southern places that can be friendly too. Even London, has a rep for not being that friendly but actually can be very friendly once you go explore more in it's boroughs (rather than just being a tourist). I think in general the UK has a reputation for being reserved and polite but not friendly, when that really is more of a posh movie stereotype, and in fact there are lots of friendly places in the UK.

    More museums in Liverpool than other city in the UK except London! And more listed buildings in the UK than any city except London. The only city with two cathedrals. Etc, etc. Even though its population does not reflect this, Liverpool, in many ways, from aforementioned ones to innovation and science and so on, is the second city of the UK.

    Liverpool Central is part of the underground system, Lime Street, the main line. The name Liverpool is a corruption of the Welsh Ler Pwll which means Slope of the pool. The accent is also heavily influenced by the Welsh language. Southport and Blackpool are both rundown now.

    You won't see gangs in Liverpool. Central Train Station is for the whole Merseyside area with Chester thrown in as an extra. Lime St Train Station is for the rest of the UK. Liverpool really comes alive in the evenings, with clubs, pubs, bars and restaurants. We also have an Odeon Cinema, we used to have many cinemas. Our shops are reasonably priced unlike the south of England. Liverpool FC is far greater than Everton FC, but both have remained in the Premier League, Liverpool FC has a long history of winning major events. By the airport we have Speke Hall, a Tudor Mansion in large wooded grounds, Queen Elizabeth l, stayed there. It is a small fee to look around the house, the grounds are free. Calderstones Park goes back to Neolithic times with carved stones. We had both the Romans and Vikings. Under the Catholic Cathedral is a huge crypt that was for a cathedral that wasn't finished, there is a fee to go down and explore it. Our China Town is the oldest one outside of China, China gave us a huge arch (largest outside of China) to commemorate our China Town.

    Liverpool has a similer history to Glasgow so our hummor is very similer. We rip the Piss all the time and savergly.
    If your going to Liverpool you must go to Chester, it is a Roman town with a Wall to walk around and the Rows are amazing and so unusual. Even in shops there are Roman ruins you can see for free. Also stunning very old cavens are great bars. Its just over 20 miles from Liverpool.
    I had a huge life saving hart op in Liverpool, ok our accsent changes every 20 miles and bread rolls have a diffrent name every 40 miles, very true, barm, batch ,pease, sttotie so many more, please add some.

    Feel like I should clarify "big fella" doesn't mean fat. Poor guy thinks everyone is calling him fat. Its usually used for tall 'well built' people 😂.
    So it can be used for tall and fat men but also someone like the Rock. He's tall and built like a brick shithouse.

    Funny that to him the Cathedral archicture and surrounds are a little 'scary'...... Brits are just so used to what our parish churches and cathedrals are like, it would never occur to us that it was 'scary'.
    Blackpool- it does have a 'vegas vibe' but don't expect a glossy moneyed resort......it's quite down at heel these days. It's best to go during the Blackpool Illuminations season (September to January).

    JL Airport was always called Speke Airport b4 being renamed. I love nipping on the train/ferry over to Liverpool for a day shopping. Going to the docks are padlocks all over the chains. The tradition started 1st world war where women would write the names of their loved ones on the padlocks in hope it would protect them whilst away. Its so cool to see.

    Barm is used, but so is 'sarnie'. But a balm is not the same as a sandwich; a balm is on a roll and a sandwich is on your typical sliced bread. A 'sarnie' can be used for both. This may also change depending on who you ask. It's...complicated.

      just got to the end of the vid. Liverpool is rough (tough) and defo keep your wits about you. Blackpool is probably the furthest thing from Vegas imaginable, its a derelict old tourist town full of inbreds and heroin. Manchester is also a great place to visit if you enjoy the vibe of Liverpool.

    He's wrong about the airport, call it what you want and in fact most people I know either say "are you going from "Liverpool or Manchester?" or "Are you going from John Lennon?" so it's not something that's going to rub someone the wrong way.
    The Liverpool-Man Utd bit, think that's an extremely old pre-season friendly result there mate, the last game is the record breaking Liverpool 7 - 0 Man Utd.
    Scouse wise, a complete mix, not all scousers live within Liverpool or immediate areas under other councils but not every person in the borough of Liverpool would be considered a scouser.

    Not true we call the airport John Lennon airport and yes it is in the district called Speke, Liverpudlian is just the old name for Scousers, we call all the other people who live just outside of the city Wools which is short for Wooliebacks which insinuates they're all shepherds or primitive, but it's just a joke, we have very sarcastic black humour, 80% of Scousers are of Irish and Welsh extraction just like me with an Irish dad which I think influences our humour, a pint of beer will cost you between £4.00 to £5.50, in London pints start at £6.50 hotels here are a lot cheaper than London too except when there's a big music festival on.
