in Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Best Places to Stay for History and Culture
Finding a room in Newcastle City Center, or Grainger town, is a great option for those wishing to delve into the city's rich history. Stay here to view Newcastle Castle and over 120 historical and architecturally significant refurbished buildings. The once industrial area of Ouseburn has accommodations for those wishing to be near the 19th-century Victoria Tunnel, a wagonway constructed under the city's streets. Culture enthusiasts should stay in one of Quayside's hotels to ensure easy access to the BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art and the rotating Millennium Bridge.
Great Neighborhoods for Nightlife
Those visiting the city for its nightlife should book a hotel close to Osborne Road in Jesmond. A regular hangout for students, the area features countless budget-friendly bars. Once home to the floating nightclubs Tuxedo Princess and Tuxedo Royale, today Quayside has plenty of options for accommodations close to lively bars and nightclubs. Staying in Gateshead just across the River Tyne offers plenty of additional bars and clubs that are a bit more laid-back.
Jesmond
Consider a visit to Jesmond Cricket Ground and take some time to enjoy the abundant dining options during your time in Jesmond. If you want to see more of the city, jump on the metro at West Jesmond Station or Jesmond Station.
