I recently came to Newcastle upon Tyne for a daytrip with literally no expectations, the only reason I came was because I saw it had a cool logo on Ryanair (a picture of the angel of the north). Once I arrived I started looking into what to do… and I realised there's so much more to do than I expected.

Riding from the airport to the city was so cool because I knew this city was responsible for making steam trains in the industrial revolution so I knew this city was up to standard with their trains!

Right off the bat, I went to the first electric street lights in the world on grey street! So much history and it's so cool to see that they're still up and intact.

I of course went to the Newcastle castle… the reason the city has it's name… I went to markets, vintage shops, all high standard and so fun.

And most importantly.. I started walking to the angel of the north statue, the whole reason why I came to this city!

Seeing it in person was so awesome, I didn't realise how big it'd be.

It had so much lore behind it, such a good message behind it and I loved that people left cute images of their loved ones near the angel to pay respects. To celebrate my successful trip to the angel statue I went and grabbed myself some Greggs, which I knew newcastle was the birthplace of!

Overall I had an amazing time in the city and I really think it's underrated and should be visited more!

  1. Glad you enjoyed yourself 🙂 check out the Northumberland coast the next time you’re in the area
