Things to know before visiting Liverpool
Merseyside has its own metro system, Merseyrail, and it's really handy for getting around on your package holidays in Liverpool. It's also the easiest way to cross the Mersey to Birkenhead and the Wirral, although frequent buses do run through the river tunnels. Some commuter trains don't have toilets, so arrive for your holiday packages in Liverpool prepared! Liverpool city centre is compact and easily walkable; it's only 15 minutes' walk from Lime Street station to the waterfront. Some stores close at around 5:30 pm, but the strikingly classy Liverpool ONE centre stays open much later. At eDreams, we're waiting for you to contact us at any time.
What is the weather in Liverpool?
Thanks to the influence of the sea to the west, cheap package holidays to Liverpool will take you to a very pleasant climate, without unpleasant extremes. This is a year-round city, but if you're planning on spending most of your holiday in Liverpool outdoors, consider taking your flight from London to Liverpool in the summer. July is the warmest and driest month for flight and hotel deals to Liverpool, with comfortable afternoon temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius. When showers fall, they usually pass quickly, and even in winter, snow is rare. There's often a breeze from the Mersey to cool the hottest days. Something else that's cool is our great range of deals!
