Newcastle City Centre
In the city centre
Welcome to the core of Newcastle life. You need shops? Hit Eldon Square. You need nightlife? Strut your stuff on Collingwood Street. You need a “stottie” sandwich (this is a statement, not a question) – pop to Greggs bakery. For a truly Instagrammable afternoon, catch lunch at Two Fifths restaurant then relax and recharge at Pink Lane Coffee.

Jesmond
1.2 miles from city centre
Hop on the metro and skip over to Leafy Jesmond. This village-like suburb is just outside the city centre, with a mix of well-to-do locals and a lively student population. Bask in a little luxury at Sohe Asian fusion restaurant – their culinary gems and bespoke cocktails will spark off your evening before a night out on Osborne Road.

Quayside
0.6 miles from city centre
The Tyne Bridge rests tiara-like over the city skyline – no wonder the Quayside is the area’s crowning glory. By day, culturites bustle over the sleek Millennium Bridge to the BALTIC gallery and Sage concert hall. By night, these architectural masterpieces cast a spectrum of light over the river as locals totter between the city’s busiest bars.

Chinatown
0.2 miles from city centre
It’s that story of East meets North. Newcastle’s Chinatown may not sprawl like the markets of Shanghai, but it does have some hidden treasures. The main strip on Stowell Street welcomes you with its grand Chinese archway and traditional lanterns. For something a bit eclectic, explore the menu at Nudo for artistic sushi and yummy noodles.

Newcastle upon Tyne, or simply Newcastle – one of the largest cities in northeast England – is a thriving port city with notable culture and nightlife scenes. From its Victorian city centre to Northumbria University and rejuvenated quayside, there's a lot to explore in this ever-evolving metropolis.
You won't have much difficulty finding things to do in Newcastle. First opened in 1837, the historic Theatre Royal and its Edwardian interior is an atmospheric spot to watch pantomime, drama, opera and other performances. For a look at the city's industrial past, stop by the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art to see exhibitions housed inside a converted mill. Or, root on Newcastle United during a football match at St James' Park.
London may have its chic Soho nightclubs, but Newcastle's nightlife scene is equally renowned. With a major university in town, young party-loving crowds are a popular sight after dark – and there are multiple options for revelry. You'll find a high concentration of bars, clubs and restaurants in Bigg Market and Quayside. Alternatively, slip into Sage Gateshead to listen to electronic, rock, hip hop and other musical acts.
Direct train routes between Newcastle Train Station and London King's Cross mean city-goers can reach the former in under three hours. While in the city, the speedy and affordable Tyne & Wear Metro makes travelling between attractions a breeze.

I completed a walk from the hotel through all of the local parks and the quayside(9 miles in total) and visited the Baltic and Lit and Phil. There were loads of other free things I could have done during my stay

Needed far more time to appreciate the historical side of the city . Transport is efficient and easy there is no need to drive oneself. There are also a vast numbers of restaurants to suit all palates
Train station was very central.
23 March 2024
Train station was very central. Newcastle also has a good bus service and we used it to go to the Beamish Museum. Unfortunately, we were in Newcastle Monday to Thursday and many of the places of interest were not open on the Monday or Tuesday which was quite disappointing. This may have been due to the fact it was March so still out of season. There was also no tourist information points or anywhere to get a street map of the city. Thankfully, the city streets are well sign posted or we would have been totally lost. There is lots to see and do in Newcastle including museums and shopping.
The shops around Eldon Square are good and varied.
15 March 2024
The shops around Eldon Square are good and varied. There are plenty of Cinemas and the nightlife is excellent. We usually eat at The French Quarter as their cooking is superb. There are also plenty of places outside Newcastle to visit. We went to Hexham, which is only 30 minutes away by train., to go to Hexham Abbey which well worth visiting. As we drive an EV were are interested in finding Charging Points and there are a number in Newcastle and Gateshead

Food if you wanted food, retail shopping if you wanted to shop, especially Fenwicks for 'designer needs' shoppers and John Lewis's. History and architecture, Quayside for walks, multiple music venues, theatres and castles up the coast. What's not to like!
