A blend of the ancient and contemporary, the city is famous today for its shopping, universities, soccer team and its famously gregarious citizens who are known the world over as Geordies – a reference to their support for King George II during the 18th-century Jacobite Rebellion.But most visibly Newcastle is famed for its spectacular bridges. Most hark back to the city’s glory days when men like George and Robert Stephenson, Charles Parsons, William Armstrong, Joseph Swan and John Walker, the inventor of the friction match, made it a hub for the Industrial Revolution. Tracing their heritage is a major draw but so to is the city’s reimagining since as a centre of contemporary culture, not least in modern architectural wonders such as the Sage Music Centre.APP FEATURE: TRIP PLANNINGKey before-you-go information, including:★ Accommodation★ Costs & Money★ Seasons, Festivals & Events★ TransportAPP FEATURE: NEIGHBOURHOODSMeet the key city districts:★ China Town & Blackfriars★ Grainger Town★ Ouseburn★ Outside the Centre★ QuaysideAPP FEATURE: ITINERARIESEasy-to-follow tours:★ Grainger Town In-a-Morning★ Newcastle In-a-Day★ Blackfriars & Chinatown In-a-Day★ Quayside Stroll to OuseburnAPP FEATURE: SIGHTS & INTERESTSBackgrounders and practical advice on:★ Art & Architecture★ History★ Kids & Families★ Parks & Open Spaces APP FEATURE: LISTINGSWhere best to eat, drink, shop and more:★ Pubs & Cafes★ Restaurants★ Shops & Shopping★ Venues, Theatres & CinemasAPP FEATURE: TECHNICAL✔ One-click website LINKS.✔ One-click PHONE CALLS (on phones).✔ NAVIGATE quickly using the app's global search; internal hyperlinks, and its many images.✔ LOCATION info (using your device's GPS).✔ Detailed MAPS and the ability to ADD YOUR OWN markers.✔ Save and share FAVOURITES.✔ Easily CONTACT the author.IN-APP PURCHASE:• The entire contents of Newcastle’s Best is freely available by installing above.
