Discover the magic of Newcastle

Newcastle is a city known for its enchanting charm in any season, but a visit in autumn is especially magical. As the summer crowds fade, it's the perfect time to explore the city with friends or family. As you wander the streets, you'll see the beautiful colors of autumn take over the city. Take a break from your adventure and enjoy the cozy atmosphere in one of the trendy cafes or warm up with a pint in a traditional English pub!

A visit to Newcastle Castle is a must for history buffs and for stunning views of the city, and don't forget to check out the contemporary art at the Baltic Centre. Stroll along the iconic Quayside and admire the beautiful bridges that span the River Tyne. Experiencing Newcastle in autumn is a magical time, and an adventure not to be missed!
