Discover Newcastle by Hire Car

Newcastle upon Tyne, located in the north-east of England, is a city that combines history, culture and modernity in an extremely harmonious way.

Imposing and impressive, seven bridges dating back several centuries stretch across the Tyne and thus also define the cityscape of Newcastle.

The High Level Bridge by Robert Stephenson, the Tyne Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge are particularly worth seeing.

The latter connects Newcastle to Gateshead and can be rotated around its longitudinal axis at its pivot points to allow ships or even pedestrians to pass through. An absolutely unique spectacle not to be missed.

Newcastle, which looks back on almost a thousand years of history and was once a Roman fortress on Hadrian’s Wall, is now well on its way to becoming a cosmopolitan metropolis. Numerous art galleries, including the famous Laing Art Gallery, have set up shop here in recent years.

In particular, the old industrial buildings have been used for art projects of this and other kinds since the decline of the steel industry. Also great masters like Rembrandt, van Gogh or Renoir, can be seen here. Another work of art of modern architecture is the concert hall “The Sage” in Gateshead, which was designed by currently probably England’s most famous architect Sir Norman Foster.
