It has a dazzling variety of restaurants, serving everything from gourmet cuisine
to hearty pub grub. And its vibrant live music and theatre scene caters for every
taste. Where else could you see stand up comedy and the Royal Shakespeare Company
on the same night?
But it’s not just the nightlife that Newcastle is famous for. The city has museums
and galleries galore. The streets are also packed with exciting historical attractions,
like the medieval castle, stately Georgian streets, attractive riverside and the
world-class BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. And of course, Newcastle is the site
of the world-renowned Tyne Bridge, award-winning Millennium Bridge and the stunningnew
Sage Gateshead live music venue. Another reason people flock to Newcastle is for the
shopping. Shopaholics can get their fix in Eldon Square, Grainger Town and MetroCentre,
Europe’s biggest shopping and leisure centre. All these delights can be enjoyed from
