Public Transport
The guide was updated:Many of the city’s main attractions are within easy reach from the town centre, so you might want to consider bringing a comfortable pair of shoes and exploring them on foot. However, if you prefer public transportation, you'll find frequent service throughout the day, and a limited number of bus services operating during the night. Liverpool has two bus stations situated on Roe Street and Paradise Street, both in close proximity to the town centre. There is an underground system that operates between the city's four main train stations: Lime Street, Central Station, James Street, and Moorfields.

Starting from January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom has introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement for visa-exempt travellers. Initially, this applies to citizens from countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and others. From April 2, 2025, this requirement will extend to European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) citizens, including those from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
The ETA permits short-term visits of up to six months for tourism. Travellers must apply for the ETA online or via a mobile app before their trip. The process involves providing personal details, passport information, and answering a series of questions. The ETA costs £10 and is valid for two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Most applications are processed within three working days, but it's advisable to apply well in advance of travel.
However, travellers planning to work or study in the UK for more than six months will need to obtain the appropriate visa. It is essential to consult the UK Government's official website to understand the specific requirements and ensure a smooth journey.
Please note that the ETA does not guarantee entry into the UK. Border officials retain the authority to grant or deny admission upon arrival.

Best Time to Visit
The peak season for visiting Liverpool is late spring and summer, which is when you will be able to take advantage of the warmest weather (up to 20°C). Earlier in spring or the first weeks of autumn are good alternatives if you want to find fewer crowds, but still decent weather. Being a seaside city, Liverpool has a maritime climate, which means summers are warm and winters are not extremely cold. However, the weather can be unpredictable — make sure you take a look at the forecast before packing.
