Newcastle city breaks
Once an industrial powerhouse, Newcastle has evolved and blossomed into a modern cultural hub with a renowned nocturnal scene. It is also a gateway to some of the northeast’s finest natural scenery – from national parks to coastal glory.
Small city with a big personality
Sitting proudly on the banks of the River Tyne, Newcastle cuts a striking form with its hilly streets and attractive Victorian buildings.
The stylish Quayside – once at the forefront of Newcastle’s industrial scene – now attracts a fashionable crowd to its collection of stylish eateries and waterfront watering holes. Here, you will also find the awe-inspiring Gateshead Millenium Bridge – a mighty feat of engineering that opens and closes like an eye. Antony Gormley’s towering Angel of the North sculpture is of course, a must-see. In addition to the city’s superb art and shopping scene, its dizzying array of bars and clubs has placed Newcastle firmly on the nightlife map. Book your flights to Newcastle and start exploring.
