A very good regional gallery & museum. A couple of very good Landseer's overlook the cafe's interior. Seeing the paintings by John Martin (a local) is worth the visit alone; also, a good walk around of Newcastle's history. Family friendly.

It's a great place to spend a few hours, surrounded by lovely affordable art. Don't forget to have a coffee in the Cafe Byker Vista afterwards, they do the best cappuccinos. If the weather allows it, go and sit on the sheltered terrace - great views!

For eating, drinking & a great gallery in The Baltic. It's not necessary to use the Quayside Link as the walk from Grey's Monument down Grey Street and Dean Street to The Side passes some of the finest architecture in Britain, never mind England. There are also a few good pubs and some excellent restaurants on the way to the quay and at the bottom on the right-hand side you will find the wonderful "Side Gallery"

If you want to see Newcastle in all of its multi-level glory, the best place to be is on the viewing platform of Baltic, the art gallery on the Gateshead side of the Quayside. It's wonderful to look down on such a busy, beautiful city.

Baltic, Gateshead Quays. Use the handy 'Quaylink' bus direct from the centre of Newcastle.
