100’s of Activities – When you’re not sightseeing, you won’t be short of experiences to enjoy come day or night, rain or shine around the city.

Free Things to Do in Newcastle

Free Things to Do in Newcastle

Your group outing doesn’t have to cost a bomb! Newcastle has a lot of free and exciting things to do around the city, you just need to know about them before visiting.

Angel of the North is an obvious option, but a great daytime trip to take as a group. A little further outside the centre, this 66-foot-tall statue is a marvel!

The Geordie Walk of Fame is equally hilarious and interesting. Walk along the banks of the River Tyne as you revisit some famous Geordie faces along the pathway.

Watch the Millennium Bridge tilt as it lets ships past while having a drink along the Tyne. A great sight to see, you can only find a bridge like this in Newcastle.

Fresh Air at Leazes Park can always be a welcome break from the busy streets of Newcastle. Top tip – feed the ducks while you’re there!

Getting Around Newcastle

Getting Around Newcastle

Because Newcastle is so spread out, it’s made use of a variety of reliable transportation, so tourists and natives alike can easily get the most out of the city. One key transport method is the Metro system, offering a value for money way to get around with barely any stress.

Whether you’re a big or small group, the Metro is equipped with everything you need including accessibility and tourist information in case you get lost. To make things even easier, get yourself a Pop Pay As You Go card, top it up with money and use that for all metro journeys. We suggest using the train if you want to venture outside of the city centre, and the few 24-hour taxi ranks dotted around Gateshead for night time travels.
