Support for Liverpool F.C. stretches far beyond England, and few regions are as passionate about the club as Scandinavia. For decades, supporters from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have travelled to Liverpool to experience a match at the legendary Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool matches are broadcast widely across Scandinavia, which has helped create one of the club’s largest international fan bases. On matchdays it’s common to see Norwegian and Scandinavian flags, scarves and supporters gathered around the stadium.
If you’re planning your first trip to Anfield from Scandinavia, this guide explains the best ways to travel and what to expect on matchday.
Flying from Scandinavia to Liverpool
Most Scandinavian supporters fly into Liverpool John Lennon Airport or Manchester Airport.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport
Liverpool Airport is the closest airport to Anfield and is around 20–30 minutes away by car. Some flights from Scandinavian cities operate here directly or via connections.
Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport is one of the largest airports in the UK and offers many international flights from Scandinavia. It is located about 45–60 minutes from Liverpool, making it a common arrival point for visiting supporters.
From either airport, a taxi or pre-booked transfer is usually the simplest way to reach your hotel or the stadium.
Where Scandinavian Fans Stay in Liverpool
Most visiting supporters stay in Liverpool city centre, where there are plenty of hotels, restaurants and pubs filled with Liverpool fans.
Popular areas include:
- The Albert Dock
- Liverpool city centre hotels
- Around Liverpool Lime Street Station
Staying centrally means you can enjoy the pre-match atmosphere before heading to Anfield.
Getting to Anfield on Matchday
Anfield is about 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre. There are a few ways to reach the stadium:
- Walking (around 35–45 minutes)
- Bus routes heading toward the Anfield area
- Taxi or private transfer
Many international fans prefer taxis or pre-booked transfers because they are simple and direct, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the city.
Returning After the Match
The return journey after the match can be one of the busiest parts of the day.
When the final whistle blows, more than 50,000 supporters leave Anfield at once, which creates large crowds and heavy traffic around the stadium. Buses fill quickly and taxis can be difficult to find.
Because of this, many international supporters choose to pre-book their return transport. Having a driver arranged means you already have a vehicle waiting nearby instead of trying to find a taxi in the middle of the crowds.
Drivers can also arrange pickup points slightly away from the busiest streets to help you leave the stadium area faster.
Tips for Scandinavian Fans Visiting Anfield
If you’re travelling from Norway or Scandinavia to watch Liverpool, these tips can make the trip smoother:
- Arrive in Liverpool early to enjoy the matchday atmosphere
- Plan your transport to and from Anfield in advance
- Allow extra time after the match due to crowds
- Consider pre-booking airport transfers for convenience
For many Scandinavian supporters, visiting Anfield is a lifelong dream and an unforgettable football experience.
