How to get to Liverpool Victory Parade 2025
If you’re planning to join the celebrations for Liverpool FC’s Premier League title win, you’ll want to arrive by train. Road closures across Liverpool will make driving and bus travel much more difficult.
Liverpool Lime Street is the city's main train station and is expected to be very busy on parade day. However, with all the traffic disruption, it’s still your best bet in getting a great view of the event if you’re travelling from outside the city.
From here, you’ll be right in the city centre and free to take any available spot along the route. If you want to avoid the busiest junctions and still enjoy the atmosphere, aim for higher ground.
The walkover on Hunter Street/Byrom Street, close to Liverpool John Moores University campus, offers a great spot. Just a 10-minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street, it offers an elevated view not just of the team bus but of the crowds stretching through the city.
What to do at Liverpool Victory Parade 2025
The parade is the main attraction, with fans expected to line the route to celebrate Liverpool FC’s Premier League title. Supporters are encouraged to arrive early, wear club colours, and follow updates on crowd safety and route access. Fans can cheer on the open-top bus as it passes its way through the city - with an atmosphere that promises to be unforgettable.
For those arriving ahead of the parade or staying overnight, Liverpool city centre offers plenty of places to eat and drink. Areas such as Bold Street and Castle Street have cafés, pubs, and restaurants within walking distance of the route.
Be sure to check out the rooftop bars which are featured alongside the route, such as Liberté Rooftop. These venues are the perfect choice for enjoying a perfect view of the parade as it passes through with a drink in hand.
You’ll have to be quick, though. Many of these bars are ticketing for the parade day, and availability is already disappearing fast.
If you’re thinking of making a weekend of the event, you’ll also want to secure your hotel booking early. Hotel demand will be high as Liverpool will also be hosting the Radio 1 Big Weekend on the same weekend.

Ways to save on your train ticket to Liverpool Victory Parade 2025
This makes booking your train tickets in advance not just a great way to save money. It’s also your best chance of securing a seat into the city centre while avoiding any last-minute stress. Advance fares can sell out quickly in the lead-up to big events like this, so the earlier you book, the better your options.
Off-Peak Tickets can also offer better value than standard fares, particularly if you’re happy to arrive early or stay later in the day. This flexibility will help you avoid the rush, find a quieter train and give you more time to explore the city before or after the parade.
For even more savings, consider using a Railcard. These are available digitally and can save you up to 1/3 on train travel for a full year. Whether you’re aged 16-30, a senior, or travelling with a partner, there are many types available to suit your journey.
If you're travelling with friends or family, be sure to book a Group or Family ticket. These offer significant savings if multiple people are travelling together, making it an ideal option for those making the trip to the parade as a group.
