My home city lived here 63 years through the good and bad times but will stick together and get through

Great video, very interesting informative content and insight into our great city.

[sergioguillen]

A fantastic episode that is very well presented! Thank you so much for bringing Liverpool to us in such a wonderful way.

Great video - thanks Hannah! Liverpool's always been a musical city, though I grew up there amid less civic confidence, more nervous introspection. Delighted how much more vibrant it's become in the meantime; in particular, how many younger folks have chosen to make Merseyside their home. Quite telling that in your voxpop about halfway through, only the final interviewee was a true Scouser! And I don't say that in a mean way - we welcome anyone who's keen to become part of our community. Everyone who spoke, projected the values that define the great people of my beloved city.

Thanks for the great video, everyone is welcome here <3

I'm a Geordie but I always feel welcome and at home with Liverpudlians. I knew you’d do a brilliant job hosting Eurovision on behalf of the Ukraine… but watching the coverage has impressed me so much. In a world full with so much sh*te you give me hope
God bless the good people of Liverpool and God bless the Ukraine… Let’s pray this war is over soon and the poor sods can get back to a life of peace with their families.

I live in Vegas now, but there is no place like home. Hope to be home I. The Pool for Christmas this year!

[ShaneDs]

Great video! Wish it was 10 minutes longer to show off the beautiful historic buildings (like the 2 cathedrals) and also talk about how important the football also is to the city..

[dcmastermindfirst]

The Beatles lasted only 10 years but their music will never stop.

[stevedawson]

Used to deliver to theatres in Liverpool. So basically never really saw much of it. Decided to spend a few days there to do the Beatles tour, visit a few museums etc. Probably the best time I've had for a long time. The Beatles tour bus guides were hilarious. Loved every minute of that. (cheers lads I'm the one laughing at your jokes because all the others were Japanese tourists and didnt have a clue what you were on about 😂😂) looking forward to doing it all again soon.

I recently went to Manchester and soon this week going to Liverpool

[bobsmith]

More worthy than anywhere else on the island

[lofomuses]

You missed the chance while on the ferry, to point out the iconic song 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' (1964), by Gerry and the Pacemakers. Liverpool was the home of the Beatles, but Liverpool was more than JUST the Beatles! You can even see 'Gerry and the Pacemakers' on the wall at the Cavern, in one of your last shots.

[kebabremover]

Ive recently visited Manchester and Liverpool, manchester was boring Liverpool was a brilliant vibrant city

[charlottesadie]

My friend Craig L. W, one of the best musicians at the Cavern ❤️

[GreatCityAttractions]

Always great content from DW Travel. well done.

[geddoyle]

Just pointing out the cavern club is a remake the other one is a bit further down as it was demolished. Town planning at its best. And funny enough we have had many more famous groups and singers as well as the fab 4 which didn’t get a mention

[sushifornico]

What is the location of the statue in sandbags - I am super excited to visit Liverpool next week :-)
