Liverpool is a cultural icon of the United Kingdom. Standing for more than 800 years, this northern English port city is famous for three things – football, music and rich architecture. Liverpool was the home of the Beatles, and proudly displays this within the Beatles Story Museum. In addition, the Three Graces, Albert Dock, St Nicholas Museum and Matthew Street are among the city’s most important tourism sites. Travel just outside the city by car and you can also explore Merseyside and the relentless beauty of northwestern England.

Who to Book With

Driving
Liverpool is a major UK urban area, and traffic congestion can be an issue in the early mornings and evenings. In addition, parking can be difficult to find in the centre of the city, and street-side parking can be expensive and it is limited. Nevertheless, there are also several multi-story car parks close to the main train station on Lime Street. The highways around Liverpool are well-maintained, and traffic is not usually a problem outside of peak times.

See our guide to the UK for more information on driving in the country.

Private- hire taxis are also available, but unlike black cabs, they cannot be hailed from the street. These taxis must by pre-booked online or by phone.

From coastal towns to ancient Roman settlements, there is a wide variety of daytrip options from Liverpool. Luckily for tourists, the highways and motorways around Liverpool make driving an easy option for getting around.

Recommended Drives

Chester - Resting just to the south of Liverpool, Chester has grown into a tremendously beautiful and historic city. It was one of the region’s most important Roman sites during the height of the Roman Empire, and many significant ancient sites can still be viewed today, including an amphitheatre, gardens and historical walls.

Manchester - This is about an hour’s drive from Liverpool, making it the perfect daytrip destination for visitors. Once inside the city, there are dozens of important sites to tour. Sports lovers will no doubt head straight to Manchester United’s Old Trafford. However, don’t forget to explore Chinatown, Castlefield and Manchester Cathedral.

Blackpool - Northwestern England’s most famous seaside-resort is a great place to visit for the day, especially during the summer months. From Liverpool, Blackpool and its trashy beach scene can be reached in about 45 minutes when driving. Simply take the M6 then turn left onto the M55.
