What to see in Newcastle upon Tyne
Must-sees
Newcastle looks out over the River Tyne and its seven bridges, among them the Tyne Bridge, the city’s symbol, and the Millennium Bridge, which tilts to let boats through. On the Gateshead bank are the Baltic contemporary art centre and the Sage concert hall, with its wavy glass.
The Georgian centre, with Grey Street and Grey’s Monument, is one of the most elegant in England. Remains of the Norman castle that gave the city its name survive, and half an hour away are Hadrian’s Wall and the Angel of the North.
