About The City

Newcastle is exciting, friendly and vibrant, with great nightlife, sport and culture.

It's a compact and energetic place - most of the city's shops and businesses lie within one square mile. At night, the centre comes alive on a scale unmatched elsewhere in England - the bubbly nightlife with its carnival atmosphere is widely renowned.

But if you want to escape the hustle and bustle, there's numerous parks and green spaces (Jesmond Dene, Exhibition Park, Leazes Park and the Town Moor) and the suburbs of Gosforth and Jesmond offer a more laid-back feel.
