How to use a hop-on hop-off bus well

Don’t feel obliged to get off at every stop. Use the route as a mix of transport and orientation, and pick a small number of places where you genuinely want to spend time.

When should you choose something else?

If the Beatles are your main reason for visiting, choose a dedicated Beatles tour. If you prefer local stories and detailed history, a walking tour will usually be more rewarding.

Check the current route and timetable

Use live booking information for operating dates, current pricing and stop details.
