BEST THING ABOUT
YOUR CITY
The city is alive with vibrancy and culture
- not only are there lots of things to see
and do, it also has many open spaces and
parks that make it seem less urbanized
and provide a nice contrast to the bustle
of city life. Having come from a village,
the city seemed less daunting and has
some stunning architecture, such as the
Tyne Bridge and Greys Monument. So, for
me the best thing about the Newcastle is
the city itself.
