You'll discover an amazingly diverse selection of pubs, bars and nightclubs. You don't have to be a party animal to get the most out of the unique Newcastle experience. The city is steeped in history. The Romans were here nearly 2000 years ago. The city boasts many excellent art galleries and museums.
Entertainment is wide-ranging too.
With five theatres, the city caters for every artistic taste from the annual season of the Royal Shakespeare Company to regular stand-up comedy at the Hyena and Comedy cafes. The Geordies are fanatical about their sport too. Rugby, ice hockey, basketball and horse racing are all well supported. What you can't ignore on a trip to Newcastle is the shops. Eldon Square is one of Europe's largest shopping malls and, combined with Northumberland Street, is one of the liveliest shopping areas in Britain.
