Newcastle has gone through something of a transformation within the last decade and it’s now the leading centre for tourism as well as business in the north east of England. Millions of pounds of investment have rejuvenated the city centre transforming it into a desirable place to live and work and also helped to create tens of thousands of new jobs.
Newcastle’s reputation as one of the best places in the united kingdom to visit is confirmed by the fact that it has won the Guardian best city break for the last 4 years. There are plenty of good reasons to visit Newcastle and one of the most popular is the sporting events there.
It is well-known that the north east is a hotbed of sporting fanaticism and given that Newcastle United are back again in the Premier league there are sure to be thousands of soccer fans from across the nation making the journey to St James’s Park. Another event which attracts thousands of people from all over the country is the Great North Run. It is held on a yearly basis and raises millions of pounds for lots of different charities.
If you like shopping then you will unquestionably love a visit to Newcastle. The MetroCentre is one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe with many hundreds of big name shops, restaurants and bars in one location. If you prefer a more boutique shopping experience you will find lots of smaller more individual shops at Jesmond Market and the brand new Newcastle Quayside Market. The Farmers & Country market held at the week-ends is another wonderful place to shop.
Newcastle is famous across the country for its nightlife and has something to offer everybody to ensure a fantastic night out. The Bigg Market and Quayside appeal to a young lively crowd and for a rather more refined night out you will find a large number of top quality dining establishments, theatres and traditional bars. And of course no visit to Newcastle could be complete without trying the renowned Newcastle Brown Ale at least once.
As you would expect from a modern and vibrant city you will find there’s great range of hotels in Newcastle to pick from. From B&B’s to five star hotels there is accommodation to suit every pocket and I can personally suggest the Rosebery Hotel in Jesmond as a fantastic place to stay.
