Liverpool (England)

If you think that Liverpool is going to be non-stop homage to the Beatles and the Cavern Club you'd be right. But Liverpool is more besides and these days it's a hip and happening city which has done much to shake off the dowdy, run-down and depressed image it had in the 1980s. I had the pleasure of spending two weekends in the city in 18 months and found that there is much for Liverpudlians to be proud of. Liverpool is often over-shadowed by it's ...
...budget hotel chain and the Liverpool hotel is situated almost opposite the Albert Dock and shares it's site with the equally good value Formule 1. A double room in the Campanile will set you back around 30 pounds a night and breakfast is extra at a fiver a head. So, you've got somewhere to stay - what is there to do? Where do I start? I suppose the Albert Dock is as good a place as any. The Dock is just one of the success stories in the regenration ...

Review of Liverpool (England)

Liverpool is one of my favourite cities in the UK,as it is for the well known American born travel writer Bill Bryson. The city has a wonderful waterfront with attractive 20 th century buildings such as the Cunard Building,the Liver Birds, and then there is the lovingly restored Albert Dock,one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions. There are architectural gems in the city such as the elegant Adelphi Hotel, the arcades, and some of the buildings ...
...is well worth a visit. Liverpool has a lively night life. There are some magnificent pubs in this old maritime city such as the Philarmonic,a great favourite of the late John Lennon.Eating out opportunities are stupendous with the likes of Indian,Somali, Greek, Chinese - Liverpool houses the oldest Chinatown in Europe-French,Mexican,and Italian restaurants. Fish and chips are easily obtainable and a lot of the students in this very friendly city ...

Review of Liverpool (England)

So, Liverpool has just won the title of Capital of Culture in 2008. And to be quite honest, I couldnt be happier. This is the best thing to ever happen to the city. You couldnt go anywhere in the city without seeing the logo for our bid, Burger King, Top Man, even Tesco all showed their support for the city, and apparently, the involvement of scousers city-wide was what the judges based their decision upon. Walking past St Georges Hall yesterday, ...
...it's 'posh' ranges at the Liverpool store as we couldnt afford it! Lilly Savage (a scouser) said 'Id rather chew my own nipple off with out anesthetic than buy cheap nylon tat from marks!' I found it funny anyway! For too long Liverpool has had the image of scallies in trackies, crime and abuse held to it, and I think its time the idiots that believe it know the truth. Of course, there are scallies around, crime happening, but this is happening ...

The glorious Golf club ...

Review of Liverpool (England)

Liverpool is a lively and happening city and now that it has won the right to be called European city of culture things are really looking onup for a city often overshadowed by Northern neighbours Manchester. I spent a week in liverpool and had a relaxing time. Current works are going on in order to get the city just right for 2008 when it opens its doors as the city of culture with big events and showcases. Highlights of the city inculde the famous ...
...relaxing sitting by having a bite to eat and watching time fly by.The Beatles shop is must for fans of Paul,john,ringo and george and great to catch the old tunes.The Anglican and catholic catherdrals are worth a visit as well as the trendy shops and Liverpool and Everton football clubs. ...
