Liverpool at a glance
Liverpool is a port city on the River Mersey in northwest England. People come for its waterfront docks and museums, its two cathedrals, football and its Beatles history. The Mersey Ferry links it with Birkenhead and Wallasey across the river.
Known for
Royal Albert Dock
Dock warehouses opened in 1846, the first in the UK built of cast iron, brick and stone with no structural wood. 'Royal' was added to the name in 2018.
Pier Head
Riverside square in the city center with landmark waterfront buildings and memorials, and the terminal for the Mersey Ferry.
Liverpool Cathedral
Anglican cathedral designed by Giles Gilbert Scott and built from 1904 to 1978; Britain's largest cathedral and the longest in the world.
Scouse
Stew of beef or lamb with potatoes, carrots and onions, so tied to the city that locals are called Scousers.
Mathew Street
City-center street of the Cavern Club, where the Beatles played early on, with a John Lennon statue and Beatles shops nearby.
Getting there
From Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), Arriva bus 500 runs to Liverpool ONE Bus Station and Great Charlotte Street, for Lime Street station. It runs every 30 minutes from 4 a.m. to midnight and takes about 30 minutes. Bus 86A runs every 7 to 8 minutes via Liverpool South Parkway to Liverpool ONE. At South Parkway you can change to Merseyrail and mainline trains.
Getting around
Merseyrail trains and buses cover the city and region. The Mersey Ferry crosses from Pier Head to Seacombe in Wallasey at weekday peak times; at other times it runs as River Explorer cruises.
When to go
June to August is mildest, with highs averaging about 18 to 20 °C. Winters are mild, with highs around 7.5 to 8 °C. The Grand National runs at nearby Aintree each year in early April.
Local tip
The direct ferry crossing runs only at weekday peaks, about every 20 minutes. Midday and at weekends the ferry runs as a 50-minute River Explorer cruise, so check times first.
