Direct trains run from London Euston (around 2 hours 15 minutes), Manchester, Leeds and other UK cities to Liverpool Lime Street. From North Yorkshire, you can travel via Leeds or Manchester by rail. Once in the city, the centre is walkable, and local buses, Merseyrail trains and ferries connect the wider area. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are also available.
When to go
The most pleasant weather is from May to September, when temperatures are mild and outdoor events are common. July and August are the warmest but also the busiest.
