FIND SERVICED APARTMENTS IN Gateshead

As with Newcastle just across the river, Gateshead has regenerated its waterside to create an attractive area with Serviced apartments in Gateshead, bars and restaurants, and excellent arts venues, including the stunning Sage Gateshead live music venue, with its distinctive curved steel roof. Gateshead is a 15-minute drive from Newcastle International Airport and connected to Newcastle-upon-Tyne along the metro system. Buses travel throughout the town, which is also easily explored on foot. The Tyne riverside has become a cultural quarter home to Sage Gateshead, a dynamic concert venue, and the capacious Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in an old flour mill. Combine this with the Shipley Art Gallery and you can fill a weekend with nothing but great art and music. For sightseeing you’ve got the Quayside and the bridges on the Tyne, from the dependable Tyne Bridge to its younger neighbour, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Naturally you can hop across the river to get the best of Newcastle, or meet the Angel of the North, splurge at the immense Metro Centre mall and go back to the industrial days at Beamish, the world-class open-air museum.

Nestled on the banks of the River Tyne, Gateshead is a historic town that lies opposite the bustling city of Newcastle. It’s renowned for its architectural landmarks, including the Sage Gateshead performance space, Baltic Centre and striking Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Other notable architecture includes the Angel of the North, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, one of seven bridges that join the town to Newcastle and provide those staying in Serviced apartments in Gateshead with an easy route across the River Tyne. One of the town’s most prominent buildings is the Sage Gateshead, which is famed for its curved glass and stainless-steel construction. It features three state-of-the-art performance spaces where the Royal Northern Sinfonia orchestra has regular performances, together with big-name international artists. Between Gateshead’s Baltic Square and Quayside in Newcastle is the world’s first tilting bridge. The 126-metre Gateshead Millennium Bridge opened to universal acclaim in 2001 and has a pioneering design by Wilkinson Eyre. Because of the shape of its arch, and impression caused by the tilt, the monument has earned the affectionate title, “Winking Eye Bridge”. Make sure to come by in the evening to see the bridge in lights, while you have to watch the tilt in action. It takes 4.5 minutes for the bridge to open, although this can depend on the wind. Details of booked tilts are published on the Gateshead Council website, and generally take place on weekends. More than 35,000 people stood on the banks of the Tyne in 2001 to watch the first ever tilt. Situated within a 1930s flour mill, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is a cutting-edge gallery space that showcases revolving exhibitions. Wander through its minimalist interior and admire works by both local and international contemporary artists. The Baltic Centre lies adjacent to the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which connects Gateshead's arts quarter with the Quayside of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Walk or cycle across this award-winning tilt bridge nicknamed the “Winking Eye Bridge”, due to its distinctive design. Gateshead is also famed for the “Angel of the North” sculpture whose 54-metre-wide wings soar above an old coal mine on Birtley Hill. It was designed by Antony Gormley to reflect the region’s transition from the industrial to information age, as well as create a sense of embracing the viewer.
