Beauty, originality, grace – and a great sense of humour. Welcome to the north east’s premier city.

As you approach NewcastleGateshead quayside at night, try guessing what colour the bridge will be.  Green, purple, red, white?  The floodlit Gateshead Millennium Bridge now fights with the legendary Tyne Bridge to be the city’s iconic image. Stand on its magically-balanced curving walkway (the structure tilts to open) and you’ll definitely tingle. Its beauty, originality and sheer daring sums up the spirit of the city. Add a compact city centre, graceful Georgian architecture, scoops of culture and an easy-going charm, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect city break.

Terry Laybourne, chef/restaurateur, Café 21: "It’s progressive and fast-moving, with a cosmopolitan feel – yet the underlying humour of the people never changes"
