Between its industrial and cultural heritage, vibrant nightlife and Victorian style backdrop, New castle is one of the most exciting places to explore. There are so many ways to see what Newcastle has to offer. Here is our guide to the best activities you can delve in for plenty of fun.

The Newcastle Castle

Right at the heart of the city, discover the medieval castle where the city’s name emanated from. The castle has a gatehouse known as the Black Gate, a small museum and a keep. Learn the rich history through the exhibitions that give insights to the fortress that was built by the Romans. Go back in time and get a taste of what it was like to live in the medieval castle. Besides, the rooftop view of the castle’s environs is nothing short of spectacular.

The Tyne Bridge

Opened in 1928 by King George V, the iconic Tyne Bridge is a symbol of Newcastle’s identity. At the time, it was the longest single bridge in the whole world. It is one of seven bridges across the River Tyne in and around Newcastle. The majestic Gateshead Millenium Bridge is also another bridge across the River Tyne that remains a popular spot for tourists to visit either on foot or riding a bike.

On Sundays, the outdoor open market comes to life with traders from various parts of the area showcasing a variety of products. From clothing, toys, jewellery and handmade products and great food, there is so much to see and choose from.
In summer, the quayside seaside is a favourite for beach lovers who fancy spending the day soaking up the glorious warm sun. With the new colourful beach huts, volleyball nets, deck chairs and a climbing hall for children, everyone’s bound to have fun by the seaside.
