Newcastle

Heading into Newcastle, you might know exactly what to do in this metropolitan city besides the usual wine and dine. Newcastle offers some unusual attractions such as the Victoria Tunnel, Millenium Bridge, and the Discovery Museum.

Museums are plentiful here, so you can be sure to find something that matches your interest. Shopping is also a great adventure, whether you’re into surfing Camden market or heading to Harrod’s. Don’t forget the London Eye!
