🏙️ Newcastle
Newcastle is a lively riverside city with a brilliant mix of history, architecture and great places to eat and drink. Head straight for the Quayside for views of the Tyne Bridge and the Millennium Bridge, then wander across to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art or admire the curves of The Glasshouse International Centre for Music. It’s a great area for a relaxed stroll with plenty of cafés and bars right on the water.
For the classic city feel, explore Grainger Town with its grand streets and elegant buildings, including Grey Street, then dip into Grainger Market for local food, baked treats and a proper Newcastle buzz. If you fancy something more historic, Newcastle Castle and the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas are right in the centre and easy to pair with a bit of shopping or a sit-down meal nearby.
