Lime Street Station is not only the oldest grand terminus mainline station still in use in the world but also a bustling gateway to the vibrant city of Liverpool. Its stunning Victorian architecture and recently renovated interior make it a first impression unlike any other, serving both as a historic site and a functional hub for travelers.

Best time/season to visit: Anytime, as it is a working station, but quieter during off-peak hours for those wanting to admire its architecture.
