Review of Lima
Newcastle
Flights to Newcastle on the River Tyne open up a glorious range of possibilities in a city renowned for the welcoming nature of its people, its party potential and its industrial past.
Things to do
Fascinating museums like the Discovery Museum and the Baltic Centre are a feature of holidays in Newcastle and its neighbour across the river, Gateshead. A walk along the Quayside offers views of the city's bridges and an understanding of the River Tyne's industrial heritage.
Shopping
Eldon Square shopping centre and the many boutiques of Grainger Town are a magnet for shoppers with a ticket to Newcastle. Visits to the markets of the city centre, and artistic flights of fancy at The Biscuit Factory gallery can unearth bargains.
Restaurants
Newcastle's Blackfriars district and Quayside are home to restaurants serving local northeastern ingredients with a fresh twist. The city centre offers an ethnic mix, from Indian to Greek and Sardinian culinary styles.
Nightlife
The Quayside and Bigg Market areas are the focal points of Newcastle's justifiably famous nightlife, with its glamorous clubs and many pubs. A ticket to one of Newcastle's live music venues also guarantees an evening of entertainment.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Newcastle, for a city break year round. From football games at St James' Park to the autumn Great North Run, there is always something to see.
