The Quayside Tourism

The Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, is one of the city's most vibrant and historic areas, boasting a picturesque waterfront along the River Tyne. It is renowned for its panoramic views of beautifully architected bridges, including the iconic Tyne Bridge and the innovative Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which tilts to allow ships through. Historically a commercial dockside, The Quayside has undergone substantial regeneration and is now a bustling district with art galleries, restaurants, bars, and music venues. It also hosts an outdoor market every Sunday, offering local crafts, food, and unique gifts. The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Sage Gateshead, a renowned concert venue, are cultural highlights on the south bank of the river in Gateshead. The area reflects a harmonious blend of old and new with the historic Bessie Surtees House showcasing the architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries, contrasting with the modern developments around it.
