Thanks to its strategic position close to the ocean, Newcastle is a city offering warm summers and very cool winters. To skip extreme temperatures, avoid July and January which are respectively the hottest and the coldest months of the year. However, the weather here is rather unpredictable, as it often is in the rest of the UK, so if you want to visit Newcastle when the weather is perfect, choose spring as best time to visit the city: temperatures are warm but not extremely hot and the sunny days make the city take on a special kind of charm.

Getting around Newcastle Gateshead is easy, thanks to the city’s extensive Metro system and a range of bus services. You can buy a Day Rover ticket for adults and for children. It is valid on the Metro, ferry and railway services as well as on almost all local buses. Tickets can be purchased from Metro ticket machines, all drivers of the major bus operators’ services and on-board the Shields ferry. If you are staying for a week you can buy the MetroSaver weekly travel card. The card is valid on Metro, Ferry and local rail services between Newcastle and Sunderland. Tickets can be purchased at any Nexus Travelshop, but you need a passport-sized photograph the first time you buy one. There are several Travelshops, including those at the Central Station and Monument Metro stations in Newcastle, and MetroCentre bus station and the Gateshead bus/Metro interchange.
