Attractions in Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the UK’s best places to go for a bigg night out - the city’s legendary Bigg Market is where it all happens at the weekend. But don’t be fooled: there’s more to life than Newcastle Brown. The city has a neoclassical centre that’s a pleasure to see on foot, some of Britain’s best bridges, and the Newcastle Mela multicultural festival every August Bank holiday. (PS There’s also a CAMRA beer festival here every April).
