This busy Information Centre is prominently located on the railway station's main concourse. The usual range of services are offered including: accommodation booking (no fee), events information, and details of key attractions in the city and surrounding area. There is a wide range of free leaflets and brochures. Enthusiastic and chatty staff, who have a genuine in-depth knowledge of the region and its amenities, provide a first class service, and will call on the expertise of others if stuck.

Airport Tourist Information Desk |
Newcastle Airport Woolsington Newcastle upon Tyne, NBL NE13 8BZ United Kingdom |
Slightly strange that a provincial airport as busy as Newcastle's is (and that can be very busy!) has merely a Tourist Information "Desk". Fortunately, it has a key location adjacent to the main entrance/exit doors and has efficient and welcoming staff who can point you towards your destination in the region without any difficulty. Because of its size, this TIC offers a reduced range of services: for instance the national Book A Bed Ahead service is not offered here, so those looking for accommodation upon arrival are best advised to head straight for the city centre and the main Newcastle Information Centre. A wide range of leaflets and brochures is stocked, however, and several languages are spoken. The desk offers a 24 hour service including Bank Holidays. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Situated in the Metro Centre, one of Europe's largest indoor shopping centres, Portcullis offers a wide range of tourism information and assistance; accommodation booking, events information, theatre bookings and Gateshead International Stadium events tickets. National Trust membership and Youth Hostel Association membership are also available here. Additionally, Portcullis is a Crafts Council Selected Gallery and has a varied stock of quality jewellery, glass and ceramics for sale. Export sales are welcomed.
