The nearest airport is Liverpool John Lennon Airport ( LPL   IATA ), a short bus or taxi ride away. However Liverpool is not served by direct flights to London or by trans-Atlantic flights. Manchester Airport ( MAN   IATA ) is the main airport for these flights, and is about 45 minutes by taxi or car, 90 minutes by train.

Widnes is easy to reach by car from the M62 Junction 7. It is clearly signposted from the motorway. The town centre is quickly reachable by taking the A568 bypass south (Watkinson Way) and turning west onto A562 (Fiddler's Ferry Road). Mersey Gateway Bridge is £2 toll and there are no booths. If you are looking to go to the market and pedestrianized section of town near Albert Square, turn right at the large round about onto Green Oaks Way. Follow the signs for parking. After walking through the market building, you will be on the best street for shopping or dining. Unlike most towns in the region, free parking is available 7 days a week.

53.37867 -2.73374 1 Widnes station does not have a direct rail service to London but trains stop at Runcorn , a short bus or taxi ride away. Widnes station is about 20 minutes walk to the north of the town centre and is served by frequent trains to Liverpool and Manchester. Hough Green station, which is in the western side of the town, is also on this line, though more trains pass through here without stopping compared to Widnes station.

There is a very limited coach service from London (about 4–5 hours), however more often then not it works out considerably cheaper to get a coach to Liverpool instead - if bought in advance online coach fares to Liverpool from London can be as little as £5. Buses run to and from Liverpool, Runcorn, Chester and Warrington . National Express do not have a dedicated station in Widnes, however they do stop near the town centre occasionally, usually close to the main library. Local Bus services by Arriva and Halton Transport regularly head into Widnes from Liverpool, St Helens , Warrington, Knowsley, and Runcorn. Day passes are available for both bus services for between £3 and £4.

The town is small enough to walk around, but there are bus and taxi services. Most of the main attractions in Widnes are no more than a half-hour walk from the town centre, due to the town's small size.

Halton transport, a local bus company, run very frequently and are also a cheap way of going to other nearby towns, such as Runcorn , St Helens, or Liverpool. They offer a day-pass service which can be bought on the bus.

Widnes is a safe area and as with any area general caution and common sense should be used. If a place doesn't feel safe then simply move on - the layout of Widnes's roads and areas can be unusual, with very safe roads right next to streets which would be considered rough, so often there aren't really unsafe 'areas' as such.

There have been repeated cases of assaults and muggings on the Jubilee Bridge. As such the bridge's footpath is closed at night, and it is best to avoid crossing the bridge on foot after dark.

As of Oct 2022, Widnes and its approach roads have 4G from O2 and Three, and 5G from EE and Vodafone.

• Liverpool - 25 minutes west, easily accessed by either bus or train, which will both take you into the city centre without having to transfer
• Chester - 30 minutes south, by public transport you need to get a bus into Runcorn - Halton Lea shopping centre, where you then transfer onto another bus into Chester
• Manchester - 40 minutes east, both Widnes and Hough Green train stations run regularly into Manchester.

What our clients say

Club Wembley Raj was able to get Club Wembley tickets for the Community Shield for myself and family (10 of us). He even managed to get 6 and 4 in 2 rows near each other. Thanks again for sourcing this for us, pity about the result on the day. M Patel

Was lucky enough to see the Scotland game

Was lucky enough to see the Scotland game in Rome this year. Worldchoice helped me with choosing a suitable hotel and offered upgraded tickets (which I will take next time!) They really knew theie stuff and obviously knew Rome very well. Would use again. Good result for Scotland too! Andy Mcloughlin

Dream Trip To A Dream Game Me and my friends are just back from a trip to Milan for the derby and it couldn’t have gone better. From the communication from Raj and Patrick to sourcing hotels and tickets, it went a dream. I have no idea how they also made it a 4-2 classic win for Inter! Neil R

Champions of Europe Went to the champions league final in Madrid, had a fantastic experience (better because Liverpool won). Big Thanks To The Worldchoice Sport team for getting us to Madrid and back hassle free. Will be using you guys again real soon. Many thanks David Green David Green

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Italian GP Used these guys over the last three years to go to the Italian Grand Prix with my family and they are great. No hassle, great communication, went the extra mile for my disabled wife and Sharon is the best adviser you could ever get! Would recommend them for any sports holiday as they can arrange everything for you at very reasonable prices, unlike others who seem to have excessive profit margins in my view. Mikey

U.S. Remains the World’s Most Powerful Travel & Tourism Market

London, UK: The World Travel & Tourism Council ( WTTC ) today launched its 2024 Economic Impact Trends Report, which has revealed the U.S. as the world’s most powerful Travel & Tourism market, contributing a record-breaking $2.36 TN to the nation’s economy last year. Despite the slow return of spending from international travellers, the U.S. keeps pole position, with almost double the economic contribution of its nearest rival. Following a record-breaking year for Travel & Tourism, the sector continues to be the backbone to many country economies, while supporting millions of jobs globally. The latest report from the global tourism body reveals China as the world’s second most powerful market with a GDP contribution of US$1.3 TN in 2023, underscoring its impressive rebound, despite the late reopening of its borders. Germany secured the third spot with a US$487.6 BN economic contribution, while Japan, which in 2022 was in 5th place, jumped up to 4th position, contributing US$297 BN. The United Kingdom completes the top five, contributing US$295.2 BN.

France, the world’s most popular destination retained its sixth position with a contribution of US$264.7 BN, followed closely by Mexico at US$261.6 BN, showcasing its continued appeal as a major tourist destination.   India came in eighth, rising from a previous 10th position, with US$231.6 BN, marking a notable improvement and highlighting its growing influence in the sector. Italy and Spain complete the top 10, contributing US$231.3 BN and US$227.9 BN, respectively.

However, over the next decade, WTTC predicts China will become the biggest Travel & Tourism market with India moving up to 4th position.

These shifts illustrate the dynamic nature of the global Travel & Tourism sector, with emerging markets gaining ground and traditional powerhouses maintaining their strongholds.   The report also highlights the countries experiencing the highest annual growth rates in their Travel & Tourism contributions to GDP.   In 2023, China’s sector surged ahead with an astounding year on year growth of 135.8%, while other Asian countries, such as Hong Kong SAR, Malaysia, and the Philippines recovered soon after the removal of travel restrictions.   Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said: "As we look forward to a record-breaking 2024, it's clear that Travel & Tourism is not only back on track, but also set to achieve unprecedented growth.   “We will continue to prioritise sustainability and inclusivity, ensuring that this growth benefits everyone and protects our planet for future generations. The sector's resilience and potential for innovation continues to drive us forward.”   According to the report, many key destinations will profit from a surge in international spending this year compared to pre-pandemic levels, with Saudi Arabia up 91.3% compared to 2019. Türkiye (+38.2%), Kenya (+33.3%), Colombia (+29.1%) and Egypt (+22.9%) leading the way.   Globally, international visitor spending is set to grow by nearly 16% to reach US$1.9 TN, while domestic tourists are projected to spend more than ever before, reaching US$5.4TN, an increase of 10.3% over 2019 levels.   Travel & Tourism investment grew 13% in 2023 to reach more than US$1TN, with a return to pre-pandemic levels anticipated by 2025.   However, high interest rates around the world could create challenges for future investment. It is therefore crucial that the public and private sectors work together to innovate to ensure the continual strengthening of this vital sector.   The report also highlights the sector's commitment to sustainability, showcasing the decoupling of growth from greenhouse gas emissions and the increasing opportunities for women, young people, and marginalised communities.   Technological advancements, particularly in AI, are expected to further enhance the travel experience and drive future growth.   For more information and to access the full report, please visit WTTC's Research Hub  or go to  Travel & Tourism Economic Impact 2024: Global Trends .
