Overview:

Newcastle - a great city - once in the forefront of 19th century industrial innovation, now, the forefront of technical innovation, leisure and culture. Wander down to the transformed waterfront, the Quayside, now lined with stylish hotels, designer bars, restaurants and public art.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which opens and closes like the blinking of an eye, a work of art in itself, arches across the Tyne to link the City to Gateshead Quays and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.

Rich in culture, architecture and history with a great reputation for style, shopping and nightlife, the breadth and scope of things to see and do in Newcastle-Gateshead surprises even the most well-travelled visitor.

Surround yourself in 2,000 years of fascinating history, see cutting-edge media installations and fabulous classical Georgian architecture in the sweeping street on Grainger Town. Enjoy wonderful food, relax in pavement cafes, traditional pubs and contemporary bars and be bowled over by nights full of live music, theatre and some of the best clubbing scene around. 

Locality:

Newcastle is found in the North East of England, Newcastle and Gateshead face each other across the River Tyne coming together at the dazzling Quayside.
