The Quayside can be very romantic, very lively, or just a nice place to go for a walk to. When the sun is shining you can't beet it, but it's also very pretty when it's dark. Just wish the weather would allow us all to enjoy it a bit more.

The Quayside gives you fantastic views, great architecture and wonderful bars & restaurants. Just go down there and linger, have a drink, take the odd photograph and let the world go by.

I have spent various evenings strolling along the Quayside, standing and staring at the Millenium bridge or sitting on one of the benches on the bridge. One finds little kids angling or bicycling along. Tourists taking pictures, lovers just standing in a quiet cocoon of peace. Have spent time at the coffee shop across the street , enjoying a twilight... More

It was an unexpected pleasure to walk around this area. Loved being on the Millennium Bridge looking up at the iconic Tyne Bridge. Really lovely area with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from.

A pleasant evening walk, from restaurant to Sage. Lots of interesting things, and people to see, lovely architecture now well displayed.The Millenium Bridge is wonderful and the views of the Tyne Bridges, by natural light and when lit up in the dark, just lovely. Views of the TYne from inside the Sage excellent as well, you can go in for... More
