In the last decade Newcastle has joined forces with neighbouring Gateshead and has transformed itself into one of Europe’s most exciting places. Architectural icons such as the gigantic Angel of the North (whose 54m wingspan is longer than a jumbo jet!) best symbolises the region’s unquenchable thirst for creativity and sense of fun.
