Across the pond

Do it your way is the message from Visit Liverpool, promising that you really can come as you are – whether you’re here for the museums and galleries, some football, The Beatles, or some crazy Bongo’s Bingo.

Most people know that Liverpool is the home of The Fab Four, something the city on the River Mersey truly knows how to exploit You can experience the band’s culture whether you’re just a Day Tripper, or want to spend Eight Days a Week really getting to know the Beatles story. Up until 3 November you can also enjoy the popular exhibition Double Fantasy at the Museum of Liverpool, which looks into the personal and creative chemistry between the iconic couple John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Sunday 4 November offers another spectacular event on both sides of the Mersey, when the River of Light festival puts on a truly jaw-dropping, heart-thumping firework display. The pyrotechnics are being launched from large platforms on the river, accompanied by music specially composed for the event.

Throughout November you can experience Homotopia, the UK’s leading LGBT art and culture festival. It presents world premieres and new productions of plays, films, art exhibitions, dance and cabaret. Until 10 November, visitors can also enjoy the exhibition by American artist and activist Keith Haring at Tate Liverpool. His graffiti-like images made him a groundbreaking figure on New York’s street art scene in the 1980s.

City of music

Throughout the year one festival after another takes place in this lively city, and autumn is no exception. From 18–21 September, the annual Reeperbahn Festival takes place. Over four hectic days, 360 concerts take place featuring everything from heavy metal and punk to indie, hip-hop, jazz and soul.

​The city between seven mountains

There’s a lack of consensus as to which of the mountains surrounding Bergen actually belong to the “seven mountains”, but everyone can at least agree that Ulriken and Fløyfjellet are two of them, so we decided to take the kids on a hike ‘across Vidden’, as the locals say. This walk is around 15 kilometres, and can comfortably be done in a day, even with a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old in tow.

Vibrant big city

Munich and its 1.5 million inhabitants really like to celebrate summer. Open-air restaurants, music festivals and bathing activities along the Isar river make Germany’s third largest city a real summer hotspot.
