As you walk around the city, keep your eyes peeled for Liverpool's renowned street art. Visit the Baltic Triangle, the city's creative district, to see some stunning murals. Other hot spots include London Road, Gildart Street and Stanley Dock. If you prefer a more planned adventure, book a walking tour.

Local Cuisine

Quality is everything when it comes to dining on a delicious meal, and Liverpool is serving up something tasty in every corner of the city. Enjoy afternoon tea with perfect sandwiches while overlooking the city at Panoramic 34, the U.K.'s tallest restaurant, or sink your teeth into Scouse, the traditional Liverpool stew made with lamb or beef, onions, potatoes and cabbage.

If vintage stores are your thing, you've come to the right place. You'll find buried treasure in the form of vintage clothes, unique trinkets and Liverpudlian history.

‘Give him a statue’: Feyenoord’s five-star farewell continues for Arne Slot

The Dutchman will head for Liverpool after a dream tenure and can emulate how Jürgen Klopp makes fans feel special

F or most of Sunday, Rotterdam sat under a thick blanket of cloud, but as day ticked into evening, just as fans were streaming into De Kuip for Feyenoord’s penultimate home fixture of the season, the skies cleared. On what became a glorious, balmy evening the team comprehensively outclassed PEC Zwolle. Arne Slot, overseeing his 100th league game in charge, watched from the touchline and his son, Joep, who for the best part of three years had dreamed of being allowed into the noisiest part of the ground, stood among the ultras in the Gerard Meijer Tribune.

In the 82nd minute, the entire ground sung his father’s name and, just as Slot lifted his hands above his head to return their applause, Santiago Giménez scored the final goal in a 5-0 win. When the final whistle blew, and Slot walked towards the fans to bid farewell, the PA eschewed the ear-splitting techno that had soundtracked the rest of the night and played You’ll Never Walk Alone. Football rarely permits moments of such infinite perfection.

“It’s not a normal situation for a manager that the fans are singing your name, let alone that they do it in such a way, with the whole stadium singing,” Slot said later. “Normally it happens when a manager loses one or two games, and the whole stadium stands up to sing different songs.”

When Feyenoord host Excelsior on Sunday week, much of the Gerard Meijer Tribune will be closed in punishment for the fans’ use of flares in the KNVB Cup semi-final win over Groningen. For many of the club’s hardcore supporters, this was goodbye. “I’ve never seen Feyenoord play like this. I really mean it,” said Paul van Dijk, a season-ticket holder in that end for the last 15 years. “Players come and go, managers come and go. This is modern football, isn’t it? But this is one manager we’re very sad to see go. We’re sad, but proud. We’re proud to say he’s earned it at Feyenoord, but also sad that we need to kind of start again. I told my friends that we were living a dream with him, and now the dream is coming to an end.”

In his first season in Rotterdam, Slot took Feyenoord to third place in the league and the Europa Conference League final . In his second they won the Eredivisie title for just the second time this century, and in his third he has won the KNVB Cup, with his team on track to exceed last season’s points total and beaten to a second title only by a freakishly successful PSV Eindhoven. Now he is leaving for Liverpool , but as Slot conducted the fans’ roars after the final whistle it was hard to tell if this was an ideal moment to depart, or a ludicrous one.

“Yes, that’s a different judgment to make every time,” Slot said. “Last season the fans were quite similar to what they are now. Then it felt like things are not done here yet; I wanted to go for one extra year, or maybe even longer. But then sometimes in life opportunities come along and you have to ask yourself the question: ‘Will I continue this journey at this club, or is this a good moment to leave?’ And I’ve made that choice.”

It is only four months since Slot told an interviewer: “I have no reason to think my future will be anywhere else” and that “I could become a kind of Arsène Wenger at Feyenoord”. Instead, he will attempt to be a kind of Jürgen Klopp, in acclaim if not in method.

Though the scenes after the final whistle felt distinctly Kloppian, it was unusual behaviour from someone who is normally more reserved. Slot is a calm presence on the touchline, spending most of his time either with arms crossed or his hands in his pockets, rarely raising his voice.

“As a person he’s very down to earth, not big shouting and that kind of stuff,” said Mario Been, who came through the youth system at Feyenoord, spent six seasons in the first team before returning for two as manager, and is now a TV analyst. “I speak a lot with him, and the way he talks about football, the way he talks in general, I think he’s a very amiable man, a man that is very warm for the players. He is a human, he loves to work with people.

“From nothing he can make something. I know there are a lot of Dutch coaches that didn’t succeed in England but I think this man, when you give him the time, he can do something there. From day one he will build the way he wants to play: press high, and everybody has to do that. And he opens the eyes of the players. For example Quinten Timber, last year he was rubbish. Then Arne started talking with him, telling him: ‘You have to do more.’ Now he’s a national team player.”

In the last two seasons Feyenoord have raised €110m through player sales, with more departures expected in the summer. Giménez, who arrived from the Mexican club Cruz Azul for €6m in 2022, is one of them. “He’s a complete coach because he understands when to tell you that you did well, and when to tell you that you did bad and you need to improve,” the 23-year-old said of Slot. “I think that’s a real advantage of Arne, that he can talk with the players really well and he knows what he wants for a team. He will bring intensity in pressing, he will bring a lot of offensive plays. I think Arne loves to attack, and attack makes you strong in defence.”

On Sunday Feyenoord’s 4-1-3-2 formation became a full-on front five when in possession, with the full-backs often joining in. The centre-back Thomas Beelen – who was very impressive defensively, if less so with his distribution – occasionally carried the ball forward, leaving only two players behind him. “It was somewhere in the second half that we gave away two chances and that is, I think, typical for us,” Slot said. “We don’t concede a lot of chances and a lot of counterattacks, despite the fact that we are a very offensive team – we attack with a lot of players. Scoring five goals is not a coincidence.”

Key for their style of play is the players’ fitness: Slot may be a good coach to play for, but clearly he is not an easy one. “Even in the final minutes of the game it’s full press, running all over the pitch,” said Dennis Kranenburg, a former youth-team player who now commentates on Feyenoord’s games for Rijnmond radio. “The players like the way he communicates with them, he’s always very clear. One of them told me: ‘When the manager says before a game that this, this and this will happen; this, this and this happens.’ Everything he said before is what happened.

“He’s also very clear in his way of talking to the media. He’s a clever guy and he knows what he wants to say, and the fans hear it and they love it. That is maybe his strongest point. I think when you ask anybody here in the stadium, ‘What do you think of Arne Slot ?’ everybody will say, ‘Give him a statue, or name the stadium after him.’ Yeah, he is very popular here.”

If Sunday played out like a dream, it must have come as little surprise to a group of fans who have spent three years living one. In Liverpool another manager, despite also narrowly failing to win the league, will soon take his fans’ applause for the final time. For Slot, a new challenge awaits.

How to plan a memorable first-time alaska cruise.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

The remarkable scenery of Glacier Bay is a highlight on many Alaskan cruise itineraries.

Embark on a journey through Alaska's pristine wilderness aboard a cruise ship, where you can experience the awe-inspiring nature of the last American frontier in comfort.

As you glide past icy fjords and into secluded bays, seize the chance to witness magnificent glaciers up close, and keep your eyes peeled for the mighty bears, whales and eagles that call this rugged landscape home.

However, don't make the mistake of thinking you’ll have peace and quiet. Remote it may be, but Alaska is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations.

Ports such as Skagway can accommodate up to four large cruise ships at once. Smaller ports can easily become overwhelmed with visitors, while popular shore excursions sell out well in advance. As such, there’s a lot to understand about Alaska cruises before booking.

Cruise Lines In Alaska

Most major cruise lines sail in Alaska, ranging from large, modern ships full of amenities, down to smaller, older ships with more outside space and a relaxed vibe. Expedition cruises on even smaller ships focus more on wildlife and geology.

When picking a line and ship, consider your choice of cabin carefully. Although inside cabins offer a cheaper deal, the value of a balcony cabin shouldn't be underestimated. On scenic cruising days, you’ll be able to enjoy the landscape—and potentially wildlife—without jostling for position.

Alaska Cruise Itineraries Explained

There are two main types of Alaskan cruise itinerary: the Inside Passage roundtrip, and a one-way Gulf voyage. Each route offers unique opportunities to see both glaciers and wildlife, with specifics depending on the season.

Katy perry met gala dresses go viral but they re ai fakes, huawei pura 70 ultra global version just available with features that outdo samsung galaxy.

Alaska is a popular cruise destination in the summer.

Seven-night Inside Passage cruises typically depart from hubs like Seattle or Vancouver, calling at popular stops like Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway. Many feature a scenic cruising tour of the breathtaking Glacier Bay National Park.

For example, this 7-night itinerary on Norwegian Encore including all those highlights is available between April and October in both 2024 and 2025.

For those seeking deeper exploration, one-way Gulf voyages include the highlights of the Inside Passage route, but also venture closer to the Arctic Circle. Typically, such itineraries start or end at Whittier or Seward near Anchorage.

This 7-night itinerary from Celebrity Cruises includes port calls at Sitka, the historic Icy Strait Point, and scenic cruising of the Hubbard Glacier on the way from Vancouver to Seward.

Some cruise lines combine Gulf voyages with curated tours before or after the cruise for a comprehensive Alaska experience. Such tour packages include famous rail journeys, visits to Denali National Park, and optional overnight stays in Anchorage or Fairbanks.

Longer Alaskan cruise itineraries, especially those on smaller ships or expedition lines, may include remote locales like Kodiak Island and the Aleutian Islands.

Port Excursions In Alaska

Exploring ashore on guided excursions is a highlight of any Alaskan cruise. Each port offers unique opportunities to engage with the natural environment and local culture, but the popularity of cruising in the region means advance booking is essential.

Some of the most popular tours may fill up just days after they go on sale, in some cases months before the actual cruise. Consider independent tour options, but read the terms and conditions carefully and check for reviews from previous cruisers.

Mendenhall Glacier is a popular cruise excursion from Juneau on Alaska cruises.

Alaskan capital Juneau is renowned for its glacier tours and wildlife viewing opportunities. The hike through backcountry to the Mendenhall glacier requires a good level of physical fitness, while whale watching boat trips are just as popular.

The historic Skagway train tour along the Klondike route in a vintage coach, featuring stunning vistas and rich gold rush era history, is a must-do.

Cultural tours in Ketchikan often include visits to the Saxman Native Village, where totem poles and traditional dance performances offer insight into the local Tlingit culture.

When To Cruise Alaska

Alaska is not a year-round cruising spot, and the season is shorter than most leading cruise destinations. Alaska’s cruising season ranges from late April to late September.

April : Expect relatively dry days, though not completely devoid of light showers and fog. Bears are only just emerging from their winter slumber so sightings are unlikely, but you may see eagles and humpback whales.

May : With more ship options, relatively dry weather, long hours of daylight, and good value fares, May is a popular time to cruise Alaska before the peak. Wildlife, including migrating shorebirds, whales, and bears, are more visible.

June : Mild temperatures and long daylight hours—up to 19 per day—provide optimal cruising conditions. Enjoy vibrant greenery and more wildlife sightings, but prepare for the possibility of mosquitoes (especially on trips inland) and variable weather.

July : July brings mild temperatures, often reaching the 70s, but it's also the start of the wetter period. Expect long hours of daylight ideal for wildlife sightings, including salmon runs and bear activity. However, peak cruise season means high fares, busier ships, and busier ports. Local produce starts to feature heavily on menus shoreside.

Juneau, Alaska, has a spectacular natural setting and is a gateway to many exciting outdoor ... [+] experiences.

August : Expect rain, with daytime temperatures in the low to mid-60s and nights cooling to the upper 40s, and ample wildlife viewing opportunities, as bears and bald eagles are active near salmon streams. Fares, along with the number of daylight hours, fall later in the month.

September : Expect cooler temperatures and frequent rain, which may risk the success of outdoor excursions. Despite less demand, wildlife viewing remains good with bears still active near salmon streams and whales still present in coastal waters. September also offers a chance to see the northern lights .

What To Pack For Alaska Cruises

Packing smart for an Alaska cruise means being prepared for both adventure in the great outdoors and the comforts of cruise life.

An Alaskan journey demands attire for cooler climates. Essentials include a fleece jacket, thermal socks, and a warm hat to combat the cold, along with sweaters and thermal underwear for effective layering. Waterproof gear such as a reliable rain jacket and waterproof pants are crucial for unexpected rain or snow showers.

You should also consider waterproof bags to protect your electronics and important documents during shore excursions.

Sun protection is vital due to the deceptive Alaskan sun. High SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat are necessary to guard against UV rays and snow glare.

Footwear should include waterproof hiking boots for rugged terrain and slip-proof sandals for the deck, accompanied by thermal or wool socks for additional warmth.

For shore excursions, a collapsible backpack and a thermal water bottle will keep you organized and hydrated, while binoculars can greatly enhance wildlife tours. A simple first aid kit, sea-sickness bands, and insect repellent are other wise packing choices.

Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool problems are mounting – and Cody Gakpo stands to benefit

Darwin Nunez couldn’t wait to get off the pitch.

As soon as Paul Tierney blew the final whistle to confirm Liverpool ’s 4-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday, Nunez headed straight for the dressing room. It marked the end of a miserable few minutes for the striker, and summed up both his own frustrations and those of Anfield’s supporters.

On 94 minutes, Liverpool broke with Mohamed Salah releasing Nunez, who had timed his run well. To his left, Cody Gakpo was free, but the Uruguay international delayed his pass and failed to find his team-mate.

In the following minute, he was released in behind again. This time he executed the pass for Salah to convert, only to be flagged offside himself — a trait that has crept into his game and has increased criticism. Nunez removed the white tape on his right wrist and threw it to the ground.

His next action was to attempt to dribble past Pedro Porro near his own penalty area. He got the ball stuck under his feet, but recovered to win a foul and relieve the pressure eventually.

Liverpool had one more counter-attack and Nunez was released in behind again. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario committed himself so the striker had the simple option of taking it around the goalkeeper on the edge of his box. Instead, Nunez saw his first-time shot saved, and off came the white tape on his left wrist. The whole episode felt like a literal unravelling of Nunez’s confidence.

Those four minutes were a showcase of Nunez’s extremes, both good and bad. However, in the context of the last month, and with Nunez having only scored once in his last 11 games — against Sheffield United , when he charged down goalkeeper Ivo Grbic ’s kick — patience has waned.

The ‘Nunez, Nunez, Nunez’ chant that has reverberated around Anfield on countless occasions, even when he has missed a chance or made a poor decision, was conspicuous by its absence on Sunday.

Nunez himself seems to have lost some of his fizz. Assistant manager Pep Lijnders twice spoke to him individually as he was getting changed ahead of coming on, but when he did enter the field, he did so with markedly little enthusiasm.

This may have been down to the scoreline — Liverpool were 4-1 up and comfortable — but it hardly helped his cause. Shortly after coming on, Alisson sent a long kick downfield but Nunez was unable to contest it as he was standing offside.

He did liven up, especially after Spurs made it 4-2 and the game became more of a contest. From a starting position on the left flank, he charged down a lofted pass…

… which led to Salah’s comical miss.

On one occasion, he charged down three Tottenham players in an attempt to win the ball back for his team but that felt the exception rather than the rule.

To compound his problems, Nunez then whipped up a post-match storm by deleting all Liverpool-associated posts from his Instagram account. It can be a ploy used by professional athletes, usually as a way of signalling frustration without having to say anything, but it felt unnecessary and raised more questions over his future as Liverpool prepare for the arrival of new manager Arne Slot.

Nunez, having looked so promising earlier this year , is ending the season back where he was a year ago. Then, he frequently found himself on the bench as Liverpool’s fifth strike option, with Gakpo and Diogo Jota ahead of him in the queue to start as the No 9.

Jota is currently injured but, while Nunez has laboured, Gakpo has seized his chance.

Rewind a few weeks, and the Netherlands international was in a similar position to Nunez now. Gakpo was struggling for rhythm and form after a handful of disappointing substitute performances, most notably the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United .

But he has answered any doubts emphatically and is ending his first full campaign on Merseyside with a flourish. A goal and an assist on Sunday capped an excellent performance that showcased his attributes as both the central striker and left winger as he frequently switched positions with Luis Diaz .

Gakpo and Nunez are very different players, operating at different speeds. Nunez is often an emotional, unpredictable whirlwind while Gakpo exudes calmness — sometimes too much — in everything he does.

It is too easy to say that Gakpo will be an ideal player for Slot because the pair are Dutch, but the 24-year-old does possess a versatility and skill set that should make him a valuable asset. Based on Slot’s 4-2-3-1 set-up at Feyenoord, Gakpo’s profile suits the No 10, No 9 and wide roles.

It was noticeable that when Nunez came on against Spurs, Gakpo remained as the No 9 and his team-mate went onto the left flank. It proved effective, given the chances Jurgen Klopp’s side were able to create on the break despite Liverpool’s loss of control.

On another afternoon, Nunez could have ended the day with a goal and an assist and perceptions would have shifted again. Instead, the questions are heightened and it feels like the point where Liverpool have to stick or twist with him.

Nunez may not be the elite, consistent striker Liverpool thought they were signing from Benfica. Neither is he anywhere near as bad as some suggest. Had his price tag (an initial £64million) been more in Gakpo’s ballpark (an initial £37million) attitudes would doubtless be softer.

What Nunez does next will reveal plenty. The problem is, with Gakpo’s form, that opportunity may not come until pre-season.
