Newcastle United Football Club
Often said about many cities, but football really is like a religion on Tyneside and witnessing 50,000 Magpies' supporters, all clad in the famous black and white home shirt, erupt when a goal is scored is an experience not to be missed. The stadium is located right in the heart of the city, and tours can be arranged on non-match days.

Angel of the North
Although it is possible to cycle there, Antony Gormley's iconic Angel of the North sculpture is a short drive or taxi ride south from the River Tyne. Erected on the site of a former coalmine, the Angel towers 20m (65ft) high with a wingspan of 54m (175ft) and welcomes travellers along the A1 or East Coast railway as they travel in or out of NewcastleGateshead.
