Have a great time. Plenty to see and do, friendly and does not break the bank.
If you have not been the University Museum ( http://vgm.liverpool.ac.uk) is worth a visit and has a decent cafe. About 15 mins from Lime Street or Central up the hill and almost opposite to the back of the Catholic Cathedral. Plenty of good places to eat around Hope Street/Georgian Quarter too as well as the Philharmonic Pub of course
OK I shouldn't but... Is he staying up after he graduates.
Its a contemporary city regenerated to former magnificence but still with massive significant drugs/gun/murder issues. Too many sleeping in doorways .
Its history ,is renowned for a reason and its why its one of the cities most visited after London/. Its on the world list of must see cities also because there is much to see and experience which is why its hard t get bored there.
Its people are often either nuts or very educated academics,sometimes . History in science and the arts evidences this .Professor will provenance this.
In short ,either the very worst knobheads one could imagine or simply the most open, friendly , warm and welcoming you ll find.
Not sure if you can get a perm these days or if any scousers under 40 remember them
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
When I think of Liverpool I think of slums, do they still have slums in Liverpool ?, I don't know if the slums football song was originally about Liverpool but it certainly was sung at Liverpool fans more than most by a host of fans supporting many other different teams.

If you mean run-down working class areas with poor quality social housing and high levels of crime and anti-social behaviour like in South Wales or many former industrial areas then yes. In terms of the 'classical' slum tenements then they have gone (expect one which is pretty nice these days and the recreation of one in the museum).
I think the slums association with Liverpool comes as it was perhaps the major city hit worst by the actions of the 1979 Tory government and the aftermath of the Wilson/Callaghan 74-79 government.
South Wales was not known in the same way as Liverpool or London for slums, lots of old terraced houses and small stone cottages in South Wales, poverty in many parts like anywhere else but not slums to the same extent of mass overcrowding of poor people in tenements, slums are associated with inner city ghettos a profile that does not fit South Wales, slums were full of poor people with little or no fresh water, South Wales did not suffer that type of squalor to that type of extent. Liverpool and London amongst other cities must have been hell holes, terrible places to live.

Undoubtedly-which is of course why they were replaced by tower blocks. The recreation in the Museum of Liverpool gives some indication of this. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Arguably outside of London and `Edinburgh Liverpool Is well blessed with excellent museums
Liverpool museum you say....cant say i have heard of it, I am not big into museums and galleries but i've been to the Louvre in Paris, Uffizi in Florence, Metropolitan In New York and St Fagans in Wales, cant say I fancy a Liverpool museum much England is not exactly known for its culture so I think I will give it a miss. I wonder if they have a nice display of hubcaps on a wall and of paintings of men with moustaches and curly perms ? would make a change from your normal museum and gallery fare I suppose.

Not going for a tit-for-tat but Liverpool has (all for free):
The World Museum (general stuff) The Customs Museum (as in customs and excise) Maritime Museum International Slavery Museum The Museum of Liverpool The Walker Gallery Tate Liverpool Bluecoats Gallery Victoria Museum and Gallery (housing the University collection).
This does not include the commercial Beatles Museum or several NT properties
You may find the Museum of Liverpool interesting as like the Museum of Welsh Life it focuses good and bad of what makes Liverpool and Merseyside what it was and what it is today. No perms and hubcaps but ordinary and extraordinary things about the areas ranging from a La's drum skin (as featured in the 'There she goes' video) to Chris Boardman's yellow jersey. Not paintings-though plenty of good ones in the Walker. The is even a display on the Welsh contribution to Merseyside and even a mention of the 'Black Chair of Birkenhead'.
It is an interesting city, not without (sometimes substantial) flaws and issues but give me that over a southern non-entity any day.
I will be surprised if museums continue to be free the way things are going, I heard that the Celtic nations started doing free admission for national museums and I think England at the time was still charging, I wonder if they started complaining in places like Liverpool about their lot.

It would be a great shame if, as in the US, museums resume charging again. Certainly I can remember charges in Edinburgh for the National Museums there in 1999 as well as the charges brought in to the London museums in the 90s. But when health and social care is on the point of collapse then libraries and museums are the obvious target for cuts. Of course a 1% rise in tax would help, but is political suicide. I am really not sure if an extra 30 quid a month in tax would make much real difference to me if it goes at source.
