Getting around:
Once you are in Newcastle, there are many ways to get around including buses, metro, taxis.
The best way to get around Newcastle is probably to use the Metro network. It links the airport and the train station to the city centre. It is also a convenient way to travel from your hotel to the conference venue (Civic Centre) if you don’t want to walk.
Here is a map of the Metro system. The Civic Centre is located next to the Haymarket metro station.
