Newcastle has a fine architectural legacy dating from the 12th century, including the Quayside with its view of six bridges, and the Grainger Town area of classical buildings from the 1830's, 60% of them listed. The city's wealth of museums have scooped national awards for their lively exhibitions.



Newcastle's 300-plus pubs, restaurants and night clubs packed into a spectacular square mile have earned it the accolade of being eighth best party city in the world by American tour experts Weissman Travel. Also perfect for shopping, Eldon Square and Northumberland Street are both in the top ten for turnover in retail centres nationally. The MetroCentre in Gateshead remains one of the largest shopping complexes in Europe.
