Newcastle Travel Info
Getting around Newcastle should be done predominantly by bus or the metro system. The metro system was actually the first in the UK to have telephone aerials installed. Grabbing the green metro line can take you through to Sunderland. Taxis are the best bet for your evenings, get a local taxi firm’s number and keep it to hand for when you step out from the clubs in the early hours.
Newcastle Hen Ideas
Visit the Millennium Bridge; it’s good for a photo opportunity, as is the Newcastle Castle Keep, which dates all the way back to the 11th century. You can also enter the keep and you can get some great views of the city from the top of the keep. Again, time to get those cameras out.
Newcastle Nightlife
Newcastle nightlife is fast becoming a thing of legend, and as a result scores of hens and stags now visit the city for their last nights of freedom. Bigg Market and the Quayside are popular locations, as is the Gate complex since it opened. Collingwood Street is rising in popularity, and some call this the ‘Diamond Strip’ due to its higher-end bars. There are noticeable names such as Tiger Tiger in the city, which is great for drinks, and Digital, which is the club of choice for true music lovers.
