Newcastle is one of the fastest developing cities in he North of England UK and is starting to attract visitors from all over Europe. With the lowering of UK sterling people are now finding that their Euros and Dollars can go much further than that they used to. As such many people are now flying in just to take advantage of the great shops and boutique stores that have opened all over the city.
Others catch flights to Newcastle to watch the world famous local team - known as the magpies - in action. Football to the local is more like a religion than a hobby and sport.
Its not hard to see why the city is so famous for its soccer team when their fans seem so dedicated but also so crazy. Its not hard to see why the atmosphere of these home games is famous all over the world and even if the team don't win you are guaranteed a spectical!
Newcastle's biggest leisure area is referred to as the Gate. It can be found right in the centre of the city and features dozens of attractions ranging from bar, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and other such entertainment. During a home game it becomes a real hive of activity. Virtually the whole city is soccer orientated so you really should make watching a game one of your top priorities to really sample the local atmosphere.
Those looking for a little culture can do so by taking a ride on one of the many bus tours. These carry passengers throughout the city to all the main historical hotspots. Hancock Museum and the Millennium Bridge are two such locations you simple have to see. Don't expect to be on and off the bus in half an hour though, it's a long slog. Newcastle is an incredibly large city.
The number of bachelor and bachelorettes out drinking themselves into a semi conscious state around Newcastle is hard to comprehend without seeing it firsthand. Many places throughout the UK don't appreciate this kind of party goer but Newcastle welcomes them with Open arms and a pint of ale. The people here raise the bar when it comes to going out, letting your hair down and having a wild night to remember.
If you are thinking about going to one of the home games at st James park then it is essential that you book your tickets early as they are often snapped up very quickly by local fans. This is especially true of important games against major rivals such as Manchester United and Liverpool FC.
That pretty much sums up my brief explanation of the fun and frolics to be had in the north eastern city of Newcastle. I think the most important thing to remember here is that it's a large city, so you had better hang around long enough to soak in as much as possible before your vacation finishes.
