• Visit Liverpool tourist information.

53.333611-2.8497221 Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL  ^IATA) (about 12 km (7.5 mi) to the south of the city centre). Around 160 flights arrive daily from within the UK and Europe. The airport is well-served by low-cost airlines including easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2. For a complete listing of airlines and destinations, please see the
destination list. (updated Jun 2022)

Immediately outside the arrivals area, you will find a taxi rank and bus stops. Taxis to the city centre cost around £20-25 for the 25-minute journey. There is £5 additional fee for taxis hailed at the airport.

The airport is served by several bus routes, all costing £2 per single adult journey, which can be paid using contactless. Cash is accepted but you should ideally have the correct change or a small note (£5).

• Bus 500 - This is the most important bus for tourists as it serves the city centre with limited stops. It operates every 30 minutes and takes roughly 30 minutes to reach the city centre.

Note - Other buses such as the 86A will have Liverpool One as their destination. While more frequent than the 500, the journey time is significantly longer. It would typically be better to wait for the 500 bus if your hotel is in the city centre.

• The No. 80A, run by Arriva, runs every 15 minutes and takes 45 minutes to the city centre.
• The No. 82A, also run by Arriva, runs every 30 minutes and takes around 40 minutes to the city centre. This runs directly to Paradise Street interchange without stopping elsewhere in the city centre.
• The No. 86A (Arriva) runs every 15 minutes during the day and now runs through the night, every half hour. This takes a little less time than the 80A as it is a more direct route down Smithdown Road. The journey time is 40 minutes but may be longer at peak traffic times.
• The No. 81A also serves the airport but does not go into the city centre. It may prove useful if you want to visit Woolton or the north of the city, as the route goes around the city ring road, Queens Drive, and terminates in Bootle.

53.3577-2.88972 Liverpool South Parkway station. The 80A and 86A buses also stop here. It's a 10-minute journey from where a frequent train service runs to the city centre in about 15 minutes. This may be a better option at times of peak road traffic (8AM-9AM, 5PM-6PM). (updated Jun 2022)

The airport has two onsite car parks and Skypark is nearby.

The airport offers a Fast Track service, which for a charge, means you can bypass the queue at security, but this tends to be worthwhile only for first flights of the day or if you risk missing your flight.

Manchester Airport (MAN ^IATA) can also be used and may be a better option. It is about a 45-60 minute drive away from Liverpool. Direct train services also run between Liverpool Lime Street Station and Manchester Airport operated by Northern Rail. Manchester Airport serves a variety of long haul destinations in North America and Asia, as well as short haul services throughout Europe.

Wikivoyage has a guide to Rail travel in Great Britain.

Liverpool is served by 53.4075-2.97843 Liverpool Lime Street station which is in the heart of the city centre. Trains arrive frequently from many parts of England. Trains from London Euston arrive on the south side (right when viewed from the main entrance), while those from Manchester arrive on the north side. The Wirral Line of the city's underground network (detailed in the Merseyrail section below) stops in a tube tunnel under the station.

You can get to Liverpool easily from London, Manchester, and the major cities of northern England by high-speed rail (by British standards - 125 mph) without changing trains. These services are provided by Avanti for London and the west coast and Transpennine Express for the north. These destinations are served by other companies, including Northern, EMR, and LNWR, which offer regional stopping services calling smaller destinations on the route. Birmingham and Norwich are the odd-ones-out, and are only connected by stopping services provided by LNWR and EMR respectively. Like all rail travel in the UK, there is no cost premium for using a high-speed service over a stopping one, and high-speed trains are often more modern and comfortable than stopping ones.

Liverpool is only about 2½ hours from London by train. There's a train about every hour, with extra weekday evening peak services from London, and it's not too expensive to get there. You can get a saver ticket for £100 on the day of travel, or for as little as £21 if you book a couple of weeks in advance (Feb 2024). Tickets are released three months in advance.

There is a direct train from Manchester Airport to Liverpool every hour at peak times (around 6:30AM–7:30PM). In addition, it is possible to reach Liverpool from Manchester Airport by changing at Manchester Piccadilly or Manchester Oxford Road.

Other main services:

• Birmingham, 1 hr 30 min – 1 hr 45 min, half hourly
• Manchester, 50 min – 1 hr 10 min, 5 trains an hour (3 fast to Piccadilly and Oxford Road, of which 1 via Earlestown and 2 via Warrington, 1 slow to Oxford Road (extra services in peak times) and 1 slow to Victoria)
• Leeds, 2 hours, hourly. These trains continue to York (2 hr 15 min) and Newcastle upon Tyne (3 hr 15 mins).
• Sheffield and Nottingham, 1 hr 30 min and 3 hours respectively, hourly

• National Express, the UK's largest scheduled coach company, uses Liverpool One Bus Station. London is 4-5 hours away by coach and is served by a half a dozen services per day. Manchester is served by an hourly service taking a similar time to the train (except at rush hour). Manchester Airport can be reached by coach in under one hour, six coaches run per day.
• Megabus operates a network across the UK. There is one bus daily from London to Liverpool. Journey time 4–5 hours. Prices also start at £1 and then increase depending on how far in advance you book. Megabus use the Liverpool One Coach Station.

A Park and Ride scheme aims to provide easy access to the city centre, for more information see National Park and Ride Directory.

Liverpool has good motorway connections, being served by the M62 (from the M6), M53, M57 and M58.

If you are travelling from the south, your journey may take you across the River Mersey through one of the two road tunnels from Birkenhead or Wallasey, or across the Mersey Gateway or Silver Jubilee bridges from Runcorn to Widnes. Each of these crossings are tolled. At the tunnels, payment can be made in cash at the toll booth, but the bridges have only e-tolls. You must pay online at Merseyflow by midnight the following day or face a penalty charge through the post.

53.4118-3.0024 Isle of Man Ferry Terminal is on Triskelion Way off Waterloo Rd. This has ferries from Douglas operated by IOM Steam Packet, with two sailings a day taking three hours. The usual ferry is the fast cat Manannan, which carries vehicles. The terminal opened in June 2024 and road signage has not yet caught up - don't go to the former terminal half a mile south on on Crowne Plaza. A bus plies from the city centre to meet the ferries.

53.4073-3.00015 Liverpool Cruise Terminal. Cruise ships land at the cruise terminal next to the Crowne Plaza hotel beneath the Liver building, next to the former Isle of Man terminal.  

For leisure boats coming from inland, there is a connection between the Mersey and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

53.40473-2.996686 Pier Head (George's Pier Head). Ferries run from Birkenhead to Liverpool. (updated Dec 2023)

From Birkenhead, pedestrians and cyclists can catch the Mersey Ferries commuter service every 20 minutes between 7:20AM and 9:40AM, with a journey time of 10 minutes to Liverpool's Pier Head. The evening return service operates every 20 min between 5PM and 6:40PM. An adult ticket costs £3/£3.80 single/return, and a child ticket costs £1.45/£2 single/return. You can also bring your bicycle for free. Between rush hours, the ferries operate a river cruise service which provides an hourly link from Birkenhead to Liverpool. However, this is aimed at tourists so the crossing is much more leisurely and the tickets cost three times as much.

National Cycle Route 56, National Cycle Route 62 and 810 run into Liverpool.

• Voi Liverpool. Liverpool’s Voi cycle hire scheme offers bike hire from more than 140 stations across the city. 
• Giant, Parliament St, opposite Grafton St. Opens at 10AM. A bicycle dealer which also rents out bikes of the very upmarket type. Their policy seems to be not to rent out locks to avoid any responsibility if the bike gets stolen (which seems an unusual idea, but that seems to be what they do), so be prepared to bring a lock or buy one from them. Nice staff. £40 for 2 days. (updated Aug 2015)

The harbour of Liverpool has played a very important role in modern history of the city. The wharf area drained by the Mersey River gives to the city an air of antiquity, which is quite strange and interesting because of the contrast between modern buildings and conventional buildings. The Pier Head was recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO between 2004 and 2021, when it was controversially delisted due to modern development.

Birkenhead – Across the Mersey, Birkenhead has a football club called Tranmere Rovers. Although this club has always lived in the shadow of Everton and Liverpool, it has a long tradition and a great family atmosphere. Well worth a visit.
Ferries ply across the Mersey from Pier Head to Birkenhead Woodside. It takes 3 minutes for a train to go from Liverpool James Street to Birkenhead Hamilton Square; Add 2 minutes for each additional stop if getting on earlier around the loop, & add 3 minutes for Birkenhead Central (shopping centre & Priory) or 7 for Tranmere Rovers' local station, Rock Ferry.

Port Sunlight - It was built as a model village by Lord Lever and contains the Lady Lever Art Gallery, a marvelously eclectic collection of objects, similar to the Burrell Collection in Glasgow. Twenty minutes on the Wirral line.

West Kirby - Boasts a superb beach. There is also a 52-acre marine lake which has sailing and windsurfing. 36 minutes by Wirral line.
