Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Bridge
Tyne Bridge
The Tyne Bridge gives Newcastle and Gateshead their sharpest silhouette, with its large green bow above the docks. From the banks, he dialogues with the other bridges on the Tyne; the evening light highlights the reflections, the metal structures and the urban enfilade of the river.
Docks
Newcastle Quayside
Newcastle Quayside mixes converted warehouses, close bridges, terraces and views of Gateshead on the other side of the Tyne. The walk changes between market, office exit and waterfront evening, with the Millennium Bridge and the Sage as contemporary landmarks.
Coastal Priory
Tynemouth Priory
In Tynemouth Priory, the ruins dominate the mouth of the Tyne, the beaches and the jetties beaten by the wind. The site combines monastic stones, military traces and marine views; it speaks to both history lovers and those who seek a high point before going down to the seafront.
