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.
Down on the quayside there is a lot of nightlife and is a nice walk along side the river tyne, there is also a market visits quite frequently. The river Tyne is home to alot of famous bridges, for example The Tyne bridge, The Swing bridge, The Millenium bridge, The High Level bridge, The Redheugh bridge and Scotswood bridge. Newcastle is also home to the great north run and you cant get moved in the town when it is on for spectators and competitors and many of the roads are blocked off for the run.
Newcastle has its own football team, Newcastle United and has St.James park football stadium, and quite often you see footballers enter and leaving the stadium and ''Shearer''s'' bar next to it.
Newcastle has two main hospitals, the R.V.I and Newcastle General Hospital both of which are clean and well maintained.
Newcastle is also known for ''Newcastle brown ale'' or ''Broon Ale'' as us geordies would say :)
If you are visiting Newcastle and the surrounding area''s, you wont be dissapointed with the amount its got to offer, i would recommend a trip to ''The Discovery Museum'' which is great for kids and its free admission!!! there is so much to do inside too! ''The Centre For Life'' is quite good too as there is an outdoor ice skating rink near xmas.
Overall, Newcastle has alot to offer, the town centre is heaving with good shops and theres eldon square (indoor shopping centre) which is good place to shop on a rainy day. Newcastle is easily accessible with a bus station and train station both only a few minutes walk from the town centre. There is also Newcastle airport which offers bus links to the town centre too.
