By rail:
From Railway Station (Lime Street): Though Lime Street is the nearest railway station to Anfield it is still a 2.2 mile walk, and not pleasant either, mostly uphill and through the inner city. Best option is to catch a bus from the centre - see below.
By bus:
Bus Nos. 17, 26, 27 and 217 run from the city centre to Anfield.
Trouble Factor:
Very safe ground to visit. Tensions only seem to rise when Manchester United are in town.

Car Parking:
Anyone arriving to watch Everton will have found car parking in the area a nightmare. Well, if you are arriving to watch Liverpool then your nightmare just got worse.
The main problem over Everton games is that Liverpool FC rents many of the spaces in the Stanley Park car park for officials, guests etc, leaving only 300 for the general public. Hence, the car-park, which is very secure, is usually full three hours before the game.
Parking at Goodison Park is available on Liverpool matchdays (entrance off Bullens Road) and there's a 300-space match-day car park by the King Harry pub on Anfield Road (corner of Blessington Road).
Street parking is limited, with strictly-enforced residents' parking schemes. And though it may be an overused stereotype for Liverpudlians, car crime is rife on match days.
Pubs:
There are a lot of pubs in the area around Anfield and Goodison Park and pleasantly, most allow a good mix of home and away fans. The pubs nearest the ground tend to get very full, those wanting a quieter drink may prefer to move further away from the grounds.
