Travel Directions to the Cathedral
Directions to the Cathedral on foot, by bus, car or coach or by train
ON FOOT
From the city centre the Cathedral is about a 10 minute walk. There are signs throughout the city centre directing visitors to the two cathedrals. Head for the Adelphi Hotel and then walk up Mount Pleasant which runs from the right of the hotel as you face it, and is the right hand of the fork, keeping to the right of the multi-storey car park.
BY CAR
Please note that as from the end of October 2011, Upper Mount Pleasant (the stretch running along the East side of the cathedral between Oxford Street/Hope Street and Brownlow Hill) is closed to through traffic (except for buses, taxis and cycles) and the Cathedral car park can only be accessed from the Hope Street end and not from Brownlow Hill. This is to be monitored by CCTV to prevent unauthorised passage with consequent fines.
If using satnav, please input L3 5TQ , or Mount Pleasant. Alternatively follow the brown tourist signs for the Cathedrals or Liverpool University. There is a car park underneath the Cathedral which is normally available to visitors.
From the M62 and Mersey Tunnels follow brown tourist signs to Cathedrals. There is a toll of £1.50 for cars using the tunnels.

From the city centre, the two sightseeing hop-on/hop-off tour buses visit and stop at the Metropolitan Cathedral, where visitors can leave the tour and rejoin it later.
