Newcastle is a city full of surprises.

Newcastle is a brilliant city and has one of the biggest city centres in the country. It is a very old city, and still features some of the old buildings from years ago, which is great to see. It is suprising to know, that Newcastle is a great tourist destination. There is so much to do in this city, such as shopping for one, sights seeing, like the tyen, millenium bridge, the sage, and of course going to see a concert at the Metro Radio Arena. You can get to this city very easily. Just outside of the city is Newcastle International Aiport, that mainly has tourists coming in from Europe.

Newcastle has a lot to offer everyone whether you are visiting or you are a local. it has alot of sights to see and places to visit.

Newcastle is a very busy city with lots of people mostly of course being students it has a very high population of them. Newcastle is known for a brilliant night out and this is so true, there are lots and lots of bars and clubs meaning you will never be short of a new place to go. Newcastle city centre gets very busy on a Friday and Saturday night there are often lots of police out and about as there can be lots of fights and arguments but you tend to find this anywhere when people have had too much to drink. There is a great shopping centre called the metro centre about 10 minutes from Newcastle it is absolutely brilliant and even though I have been there lots and lots ...  Read the complete review
