Newcastle Upon Tyne is the ideal destination for a UK city break, situated in the North East of England with about 260,000 inhabitants. The city is close to River Tyne, and the North Sea Coast and is often known as the Toon. It is easily accessible by train air and bus, with a flight to Newcastle from London taking under an hour and the fastest train gets from London Kings Cross in 2 hours 40 minutes.

The diverse range of people descending on Newcastle come for a variety of reasons including the culture, history, art, music, entertainment and nightlife. The oldest part of Newcastle is the Quayside, which was until the nineteenth century, the commercial hub of all Tyneside. This once run down riverside area is now a must to visit with many modern chic restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The city is ranked 8th as the "party town center worldwide"  and  the 2nd most social city in Europe.
