How about Liverpool? Great city.Going there for a gig mostly, I'm thinking of either staying there after for a few days or heading down to London for a bit before heading to the mainland.
Been to London before though

Yeah was thinking about taking a day trip out there, you recon it's worth it?How about Liverpool? Great city.
If you're a Beatles fan there's a shitload to do and see. If you're an EPL fan a tour of the stadium.Even a game if the timing is right. Otherwise the docks are interesting.Yeah was thinking about taking a day trip out there, you recon it's worth it?
Any recommendations?

Literally only two things to do thereIf you're a Beatles fan there's a shitload to do and see. If you're an EPL fan a tour of the stadium.Even a game if the timing is right. Otherwise the docks are interesting.
I was in Liverpool for 3 days and except for going to a Liverpool game there was nothing to do but drink (and start early)Liverpool is a great city but it's definitely only really appealing if you're younger - I'd say the same for Sheffield and Glasgow. even Nottingham though that's a level below.
If you're in your 20s and want to just walk around, find a few cool shops, duck into the odd museum or something on a map and then drink all night then it's great. if you're into history or want to see 'things' then it's definitely just a daytrip place. tbh if you want history, scenic walks, cosy traditional pubs, and decent food then you're better off sticking to the parks and Dales in the North. Newcastle would probably appeal to because it's just a cool place to walk around in but there's a useful Metro system that takes you to a heap of nice little seaside and nearby towns, too.
The women in Liverpool are incredibly kind and open but the blokes are pretty brash and can come across as intimidating for what we're used to in Australia.
Russians are the big money spenders there at the moment because they cant move further west for the summer vacations. Ive seen it from the water, but never been.Went to Albania last week. Absolutely loved it. Recommend going before it’s thrashed by insta and TikTok. Although, it might already be.
Food was insanely good and by far the cheapest European country I’ve visited.
The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds was good.Why Leeds? I've been there a couple of times as my dad was born there. It's not a bad city but there are a lot better jn the UK.
Russians are shitbags. they were terrible ten years ago and I've only been back to Europe once since covid, but can't imagine how bad they are now.Russians are the big money spenders there at the moment because they cant move further west for the summer vacations.

Christ, you sound funRussians are shitbags. they were terrible ten years ago and I've only been back to Europe once since covid, but can't imagine how bad they are now.
Throw in the Chinese, the popularisation of European travel for American frat bros and basic chicks, pissed young Aussies who had three years of no travel and are making up for it...
Not to mention how ****ed housing has become for regular old Europeans. years ago you felt bad drinking out and being served by young people with engineering and medical degrees who'd be waiting tables forever; now you'd feel bad because they've got nowhere to live.
You'd have to be thick as **** to go on some big jaunt these days, doing your London-Amsterdam-Barcelona-Rome route. overpopulated and unfair to the locals.
Not to mention the monoculture. everywhere feels the same now.
Telling on yourself pretty badly here.Not to mention the monoculture. everywhere feels the same now.
I've heard it's ****in dull as dishwater, expensive, rammed with tourists, and tiny. 'locals' are tech geeks working for the massive companies there who don't pay any tax. plus it's full of Irish.Yeah pretty glad i only did a day trip to Liverpool tbh, i enjoyed Manchester way more.
**** me how sick is Dublin though, incredible city
So I made it up to Belfast and jesus i was blown away. I was expecting it to be a shithole but the food and hospitality here >>>> Dublin.I've heard it's ****in dull as dishwater, expensive, rammed with tourists, and tiny.

Depends what vibe you're going for.How far can I realistically stretch 14-20 days holiday in Europe.
UK - London stuff, Stone Henge, Sheffield (Snooker world champs possibly quarter finals), OR cricket depending on time of the year, or F1 wherever it's on at the time.
Ireland - Dublin (all the distillery stuff)
Europe??? What could I realistically do. I want to minimalise photography so I can absorb more of the atmosphere and not just tick off boxes of where I've been.
I want to see the nice sites and landmarks, but also sit back and chill in nice places such as Mykonos.
For example if I did a mediterranean tour could I realistically hit Portugal, Spain, Greece, France and Italy?
Could I hit Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland
I'm glad I've come to Leeds in the end, really enjoying the vibe of the place (much more than Liverpool)Why Leeds? I've been there a couple of times as my dad was born there. It's not a bad city but there are a lot better jn the UK.
You could do 1 of these 3, definitely not all 3 and even 2 would be rushed.How far can I realistically stretch 14-20 days holiday in Europe.
