The Jurys Inn Quick Guide To Newcastle
There’s a sense of the past around every corner of Newcastle’s medieval streets, and the sandstone makes this city a beauty in the northeastern light. The historical heart is beautiful Grainger Town, a cluster of streets whose buildings date back to the mid nineteenth century. Here you realise how important heritage is to the locals: of the 450 buildings in this district, over half are listed.
City highlights
St James' Park The famous Tyne Bridge Laing Art Centre Eldon Square Shopping Centre Life Science Centre
The collision of old and new, in development and architecture, pulls the city into the future without ever sacrificing the past. Along the Tyne the shipping influence is clear, but nowadays fantastic new cultural and commercial premises catch the eye.
The Quayside is a true example of cosmopolitan use of open space for public use, and developments like the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts, the Sage exhibition centre and the numerous clubs, restaurants and shops along the river bring natives and tourists alike to the thriving cultural quarter. But whether you come for the sights, the great local welcome or the famous Newcastle Brown Ale, one thing’s for sure: you’ll make friends before you leave.
