Angel of the North

The Angel of the North has been welcoming visitors to Gateshead since 1998. The sculpture is taller than four double deckers and its wingspan is as big as a jumbo jet. It is one of the most famous sculptures in the UK so it's definitely a must-see when visiting Newcastle.

Cycle along the Tyne

Cycling along the Tyne is perfect for seeing all the amazing sites Newcastle has to offer. If you’re feeling energetic, you can peddle your way to the town of Tynemouth on the coast.

Walk the seven bridges

The Tyne Bridge is an iconic part of the city of Newcastle. Did you know there are six other bridges across the Tyne that offer pretty views of the river? Wander along the Swing Bridge as it gets dark for a pretty view of the Millennium Bridge’s vibrant, coloured lights.

Escape the city at Jesmond Dene 

Jesmond Dene is a short stroll from the heart of the city and is a relaxing mood of woodland walks. Pack a picnic and take some time out by the waterfall where you can enjoy the tranquil surroundings without spending a penny.

Newcastle’s Walk of Fame is located at Quayside, which is probably the most iconic area of Newcastle. Featuring the likes of Alan Shearer and Ant & Dec, how many names can you spot?
