I really wouldn't bother with the metrocenter. Eldon square / city center has most shops you will ever need and there is a better selection of drinking establishments / eateries.

newcastle is so misunderstood, yes if you go to the bigg market on a saturday and you have hair, you will be killed :p
but in the daytime its the friendliest city iv visited or lived in.
i feel much safer in newcastle than other cities.

just to echo whats already been said if your just up for a day just hang around eldon square, you can play the game of trying not to get lost in it, i got lost for like the first week after moving to newcastle. or if its sunny and you fancy a relaxed upmarket-ish drink outside then jesmond has plenty of lovely bars and restaurants on osbourne road. you can get there with a short metro trip or a taxi from city centre. or walk 20mins if you want.

Newcastle is my favourite city in the UK; I absolutley love it there. Yes, you have the metro centre in Gateshead which is the biggest shopping centre in Europe and you won't cover it in a day, you have eldon square in the city centre plus the huge array of other shops there.

The Quayside is a great place to go and chill out, theres some nice restraunts on the cobbled road which leads down to the Quayside, I especially recommend Uno's; beutiful pizzas which are on offer during daytime of weekdays. There's also a mongolian restaurant.

Visit the Baltic flour mill on the Quayside, its a museum thats free and offers some good views of the tyne bridge on the viewing deck. Oh, and if you can, try stay the night and go out, bring a few mates up, brill nightlife! The cafe there is also awesome, proper nice organic stuff thats a bit costly but tastes delicious.
