Liverpool : Go & enjoy Penny Lane!
If you tell a friend you've booked tickets for a direct Nice-Liverpool flight, chances are the next question they ask will be: “You’re a Reds supporter then?”. And if not that, then definitely: “You a fan of the Beatles?”. As if all there is to Liverpool is their red-kitted football team and a famous rock band! It's true these are two of the pillars of local culture. But as you’ll quickly see up on arrival of your Nice-Liverpool direct flight, the hometown of the boys of Abbey Road has much, much more to offer.

What to do in
Liverpool ?
Imagine a city in the north of England that was once the largest port in the world. Imagine thousands of people meeting to watch a football match in a pub in search of the warmth the sun too often refuses them. Imagine museums and monuments that are among the most beautiful in the country. Imagine a yellow submarine, and Eleanor Rigby sitting alone on a bench. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one: Liverpool is one of the 100 most visited cities in the world.

Liverpool, city of the Fab Four
See more See lessA weekend in Liverpool holds every chance of ending with impromptu karaoke. Strolling hand in hand, you stumble upon the statue of John Lennon. Suddenly you’ve got a serious desire to sing Ticket to Ride, A Hard Day’s Night, All You Need Is Love or A Day in the Life. Or perhaps you're on a weekend getaway with friends, looking for the kind of good time only England can offer. You head into a pub and are all swept away by the ambiance and take up the chorus of Hey Jude!
It's a fact: The Beatles left a permanent mark on their hometown. But the cradle of Paul, John, Ringo, and George has much more to offer than these legends. A prosperous city in the 19th century, Liverpool has an incredible history that will give your trip that special something. Stroll over the ancient stones the Scousers (the nickname of Liverpool locals which comes from ‘scouse’, a name for their accent) used to build their city, weaving culture into its very fibre and until it finally became the major British centre of art and culture it is today. As you’ll see, the Pool - as supporters call it - represents at once the love of art and the art of the party!

What is the best time of year to visit Liverpool?

Plan your trip for July and September, the driest months of the year. Looking for a livelier trip? The biggest art and music festivals take place from June to August. If you’re a food lover, the Liverpool Food and Drink Festival at the beginning of autumn is for you.

And, at the beginning of November, the River Mersey Fireworks Festival lights up the Liverpool night sky. A must!
