Metro: Tyne & Wear Metro
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Subway/Metro
    Getting TO/AROUND: The Tyne & Wear metro has a good coverage of Newcastle, the airport, Gateshead, North & South Shields & Whitley Bay.

    Always clean, and rarely jampacked, it conveniently runs in a a series of loops around the city.

    St. James is it's most impressive station, with a heavy dedication to football apparent in the decorations.

    Ferries: Newcastle Ferry services
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: With it's location on the coast, Newcastle has convenient ferries running across to some European cities, notably Amsterdam.

    The major routes are:
    Gothenburg, Kristiansand, Amsterdam, Bergen, Haugesund & Stavanger.

    There are always ads for cheap Scandinavian cruises in the local newspapers, most for under a hundred pounds.

    The Royal Quays is also a great place for Outlet shopping right at the harbour.

    Newcastle airport: Newcastle Airport
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: It's great when it takes you a maximum of 20 minutes to get from your house to the airport...

    Newcastle is well connected with European cities through scheduled flights, and also has a number of tour operators with flights to the islands, Cyprus, Turkey and Mexico.

    As a bonus, it's well-connected with the Tyne & Wear Metro system.
