Start at the iconic Sage Gateshead, perched over the scenic waters of the River Tyne. This famous arch along the city skyline welcomes visitors and is a sure sign you’ve arrived in the heart of Newcastle. Dating back more than 100 years, this stunning structure is a popular attraction and makes for a picture-perfect backdrop. Here, you can also visit the famous Angel of the North statue, designed and sculpted by artist Antony Gormley. The distinct rustic steel and sheer size of the angel’s wings which stretch out as large as an airplane, are a sight to be seen.

Newcastle is a music hub, and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is a contemporary art museum located on the south bank of the River Tyne. Located in what was once a functioning flour mill, this industrial location was redesigned to house collections, exhibits and galleries. The art museum also boasts a rooftop restaurant and panoramic viewing platforms offering breathtaking views of the River Tyne and the city.

Another top attraction in town is the Beamish Museum, a unique open-air museum found in the town of Beamish. Visitors can take a step back in British time and relive life in rural England.
