Whether you are considering a move to the area and need some ‘insider' tips on what you can see and do, or have recently relocated to the region, we hope our Live NewcastleGateshead brochure will help you begin to discover why our twin cities are a great place to live, work or study.

Located in North East England, Newcastle, on the north bank of the River Tyne, and Gateshead, on the south, is an exciting mix of the modern and historic. In the last decade NewcastleGateshead has transformed itself into one of Europe‘s most exciting cultural destinations with something for everyone - voted one of Time Magazine's Secret Capitals of Europe.

Explore the beautiful architecture including the ancient city walls and castle; enjoy the stunning quayside with its waterfront bars and galleries; dine in one of the many superb restaurants and cafés; don't miss the fantastic public art such as the Angel of the North and a host of free award winning museums for families; and don't forget its excellent shopping. Combined with a year-round programme of world-class festivals and events there is always something exciting going on.

However, you're never far from an oasis of peace and tranquillity. The sweeping Tynemouth and South Shields beaches are only a short Metro ride out of the city, and the majestic Northumberland countryside, Hadrian's Wall, and unspoilt coastline are also just a short drive away. The cultural renaissance of NewcastleGateshead has been a highly visible success and has helped the region flourish, to attract more visitors, encourage business investment, create more jobs and boost the local economy. NewcastleGateshead is now firmly on the map, renowned as a beautiful, vibrant and cultured area in which to live, work and learn.

We are passionate about NewcastleGateshead and know you will be too when you have spent some time here.
