Travellers arriving by air can then choose whether to continue their journey into the city center by road or rail.

It serves as the main airport for much of north-west England and north Wales, and flies to and from destinations across continental Europe. The airport also provides regular flights from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Newquay is the only UK mainland airport that currently offers flights to Liverpool.
The wide variety of destinations served by Liverpool John Lennon Airport means that many different airlines offer flights to the city. They include Flybe, BlueAir, easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Blue Islands, Lauda and Wideroe.

The airport has good public transport connections into Liverpool, thanks to regular bus and bus services. Liverpool South Parkway Rail Station is the airport's closest railroad station and provides connections to destinations including Liverpool, Manchester and Chester.

Many visitors to Liverpool already have favoured destinations in mind. Whether it's Anfield, Goodison Park, the Albert Dock or some of Liverpool's excellent museums, the city's public transport system makes traveling straightforward. Some visitors might also like to use Merseyrail or one of the famous "ferries across the Mersey" to visit the Wirral on the other side of the river. For something more unusual why not try a tour of the Williamson Tunnels, an underground labyrinth built in the early 1800s.
