I had no idea there was a Roald Dahl Museum in Buckinhamshire, will have to look that up, it’s funny how you can never visit the places that are just around the corner!

Got to agree Kay – Glasgow was very worthy of it’s cultural status with so many museums (Burrell, Lighthouse, Kelvingrove to name a few), theatres, festivals (Comedy, Celtic Connections), sport, and many attractions. It has a healthy cultural legacy and is a friendly city great for its shopping, restaurants and nightlife. I may be biased but you’ve got to love your home city!

I agree, John.

Glasgow was the European City of Culture back in 1990. People often think of the Gorbals and slums when they think of Glasgow, but that’s history.

Glasgow has a lot going for it. One of my favourite attractions is the Burrell Collection. That’s definitely worth a visit.

Holiday James,
It is a long time since you asked why Liverpool was a European Capital of Culture and nobody has responded. The answer is that it is not related to how pretty a city is (although Liverpool being a waterfront port city it is not exactly ugly).
The term is capital of Culture and Liverpool excels here producing the bands from the Beatles to the Wombats, playwrights like Willy Russell, Alan Bleasdale. It is also home to some excellent Art Galleries including the Tate Liverpool.

How is Liverpool the European capital of Culture? There are much nicer cities in Europe than there.
