What Wikivoyage says to see

The Angel of the North spreads their massive wings by the A1(M) as you approach from the south. Newcastle has an elegant late-Georgian city centre around Grey St and Grainger Town. Gateshead: the south bank of the Tyne facing Newcastle is a separate city. Walk across the Millennium or "Blinking" Bridge for the Baltic Art Gallery. You might detour to come back via the High Level Bridge or the Swing Bridge.

Things to do

Watch football: Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC are the pro soccer teams, Newcastle Falcons play pro rugby union (15 a side) and Newcastle Thunder play rugby league (13 a side). Cricket: Durham County Cricket Club play at Riverside in Chester-le-Street; Test matches (ie internationals) are also played there. Go to the races but don't head for Blaydon Races, which closed over a century ago.

Where to eat

Newcastle Chinatown, along Stowell St, also has Japanese and "fusion" cuisine whatever that is. Blackfriars within a 13th century monastery in Newcastle is probably the region's top restaurant. All the towns have a cheap and cheerful strip with Italian and the fast-food of several continents. A stottie is a circular loaf of bread.
