During the last decades Newcastle has developed into a prominent city regarding technical innovations and culture. This makes Newcastle to one of Great Brittan’s most vibrant cities and a wonderful holiday destination with great shopping and an even better nightlife.
United by seven bridges across a spectacular riverscape, Newcastle (a city on the north bank of the River Tyne) and Gateshead (a town on the south bank) form a single, diverse and extremely vibrant visitor destination.
