Getting there
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is 9 km (5.6 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

Newark has 27 venues mapped in total and a population of 317,303. The Newark guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
