Welcome!
For a short break, the vibrant and stylish cities of NewcastleGateshead and Sunderland are an ideal choice with a big, warm welcome waiting for you. Home to some seriously friendly people, it's got top sport, legendary nightlife, a rich heritage and shopping that satisfies the hardest of hardcore shoppers. It is said that 40% of North-Easterners have Irish ancestry and we think the influence is strong. Up here, we say 'The Crack' rather than 'The Craic' but you get our meaning: we know how to have fun.
Getting here is simple with inexpensive with flights from Cork, Dublin and Belfast all landing at Newcastle Airport. Be warned though, you may need another holiday after you've visited! The Craic's really that good.
