What do you think about Newcastle upon Tyne? 🍻🎉
When you were in the restaurant you said "buying my eyes"
What does it means?
I'm sorry if I bug you for this sort of a question
Amazing city so glad I moved here
I love it, but, there again I'm from here ! There are 7 bridges, the footbridge or Millenium Bridge is nicknamed the Winking Eye Bridge, reason being it lifts and tips up for boats to pass under. If you're downriver , near the bend in the river,( in fact the Free Trade in slightly up from the river) as the Bridge opens , you'll see it exactly aligns with the iconic Tyne Bridge , exactly like an eyelid blinking ! Also, the Bridge lights up in multicolour at night 🎉❤
I’ve lived in Gateshead all my life and I love Newcastle. Lots of things to do.
The greatest toon in England
People down south who have never been say its a dire place and no one would want to visit 😂😂 thats what we want them to think . 😂😂
By 'people down south' do you mean Mackems?
Haha, fair enough! You like your peace & quiet I guess 😜
@@JayandKarolina Here you're beer house of the rising sun. Has ties to Geordie land
As lead singer of the band the animals that. Sang. House of the rising sun, is. A Geordie from. Newcastle,
North east is England's best kept secret
Yeah,don't come up here it's bloody awful lol
I'm a Southerner, but a proud Newcastle United fan (family & Alan Shearer reasons). Newcastle Upon Tyne is a truly, truly special, beautiful place. The people are wonderful, warm and friendly, proud of their city and welcoming to anyone who comes to enjoy. It's just a lovely place, the architecture and history is incredible, the river Tyne is beautiful, the football club is in my biased opinion, the greatest most passionate in the land, and the nightlife is absolutely incredible. A fantastic place to spend time.
im from sunderland, yeah a mackem, but served and worked in felling back in the day, most friendly people in the world the north east
forget the football rivalry, but has to be one of the best nights out in the country, even beats us hands down in sunderland
I agree! The people were so welcoming and friendly! The St James Stadium looked amazing so even if I’m a Liverpool FC fan, I would love to see the game over there 🥳 Pubs were super lively so we truly enjoyed our experience as well in the recommended by a local Brinkburn pub 🍻
As a Geordie and Gateshead resident, I love Newcastle. One of the friendliest people in Britain.
This is so nice to hear :) And we could have experienced straightaway how nice people are over there! No wonder it must be so nice to live in Newcastle when you're being surrounded by nice people!
@@JayandKarolina I’m glad you enjoyed your experience of Newcastle. I visited that pizza shop this afternoon for a big slice 😋
Newcastle is a fabulous city. Small enough to be friendly and familiar, large enough to offer all the trappings of a major city. And on the doorstep is a breathtakingly beautiful coast and countryside, castles, history, heritage you name it.
I'm so glad you liked Newcastle, everyone is so friendly, we have a lot of history here and passion about our football club, we have great sportsman and actors from our region, its a beautiful part of the UK that doesn't get recognition it deserves so 🙏 thank you for this video, your welcome back anytime.
❤Thank you for your introduction of NewCastle 👏👏
We really enjoyed the city! First time there but definitely not the last one 😍 All the people we met so welcoming and friendly so definiely would need to come back to explore more of the local side of it too!
I’m from Middlesbrough and now live I the City of Durham so I’m from the North East region . In essence Newcastle is the largest city and could be said to be the regions capital . I’ve quite a few Geordie pals and Newcastle is an amazing city , very vibrant , it’s buzzing with a lot of history too . One of the best things about Newcastle is it’s people like all North East folk they are friendly , very welcoming you won’t find more friendly folk than this region .
If your young in Newcastle you can have the time of your life too endless bars , clubs , Restaurants as a young man I loved the record shops in Newcastle. There’s plenty to do , I’ve never had a bad night out there .
It's amazing how much this city has to offer! We literally absorb energy from the surroundings, so we immediately felt the good energy flowing from people who were friendly and helpful :) It's wonderful to hear from locals how they like life in Newcastle (and the surrounding area!).
@@JayandKarolina try Durham 👍
Great video guys and as a Geordie myself, you did our city proud. There are a lot of people who still believe "it's grim up north". But you were very respectful. Hope you enjoyed it and had a safe journey home.
Well said! Thank you so much for watching! We really loved exploring Newcastle so it wasn't our last time over there 100% :)
Well done folks I'm from Newcastle and your vlog really showed what our City is all about. I'm so pleased you both had a great visit and enjoyed it.We are so proud of our Cty and welcome people from far and wide. We Geordies are the most welcoming people the country and anything goes. Next time try and get a match ticket to watch the Toon it's by far the best day out and atmosphere in the country. Cheers
I am from Newcastle, and very good video, so proud of where i'm from, and you really did us justice, so thank you. I agree with comment's that you missed a trick, not looking at coast line (all the way, from sunderland to berwick).
How do you not know about Newcastle? Always been ranked as one of the best, usually the best nightlife destinations in the UK. Also always considered one of the best away trips for football fans around the country.
It has some of the most beautiful architecture & finest stretches of coastline anywhere.
Newcastle always comes to mind for a city break, unless youve been living under a rock.
Anything but underated!
My thoughts exactly 👍 everywhere I’ve travelled around the world, everyone knows about Newcastle and how wonderful it is. This video is already annoying me… I can’t watch the rest of it. These 2 are so uneducated they’re unintentionally slightly funny in a weird way…
As someone who lives in the Midlands, people know it's a good night out, but they have absolutely no idea about how nice the city is. They seem to have some strange ideas about it being horrible.
Every friend I've brought up has fell in love with it and has been genuinely shocked.
Definitely underrated as a city. A great place to base yourself when exploring the North East. Having the Metro is a big plus in that respect.
Totally agree! We could have easily stayed for longer and explore more of the cities around :) We were quite surprised how close for example Durham was - only 14 minutes by train!
@@JayandKarolina Is there a Durham video btw?
@@rain_down_ coming soon :)
I'm a Geordie from Gateshead but can't beat nights out on the toon,
Good video 👍 both of you stay safe
One of the more comprehensive Newcastle videos I've watched, and good that you went inside the church and cathedral and appreciated the history. Good tour of the Grainger Market too. Hope you return one day. Nicely appropriate for Newcastle that the visit ends with an elaborate beer picking process ahead of pie and mash!
Thank you so much! We always wonder what to show because people might have different interests but for us personally the most important is to show the real history and culture 😍 We’ll be back in the future for sure because there’s still so many things to explore! And also it would be amazing to see all the spots that are currently under renovation too!
The thing that intrigues me as a Newcastle resident is the amount of southern English people who live Here ! Think it goes under the radar a bit…but I seem to run into so many ! and lovely people they are too…when it comes to my city I am quite happy with the way David dimberley described it … it’s a handsome city !
Thank you for introducing me to Newcastle as I never seen it in such capacity.
Our pleasure! We really enjoyed our time in Newcastle and didn’t expect it to be so old and modern in one! 😇
Thank you for watching ❤️
The building you point out at @5:34 near to the Castle is called Moot Hall and is the old law courts - I was a juror there in 2003-ish which is why I know - the newer law courts are on the Quayside, but they still use Moot Hall if the newer courts are at capacity.
guys, sometimes, you will see stand alone buildings, over the centuries, things were built next to them closed down, then tore down, because empty, but there are buildings that are listed, either grade 1 or grade 2 and cant be touched so to speak, they are protected. to protect the history
Thank you for sharing! We really like exploring the cities by also learning about their past history 🙏
I totally agree, I visited Newcastle and Gateshead for the first time last year for work. Everyone I met up there was great and the area itself was really amazing with incredible history almost around every corner, as well as some fantastic restaurants and bars. I will definitely go back up there for a city break in the future 👍
Thank you for highlighting Newcastle Upon Tyne, I was born and grew up here and it is a fantastic city. Dont live there now but really miss it. Worked in the ciy centre for years and enjoyed every minute of it, especially the nightlife!
Our pleasure! It's so nice to hear that people have great memories and feelings about Newcastle! We truly found this city to be one of our favourites in the UK so it's definitely not the last time we've visited it :)
Any recommendations for the pubs/bars?! We've been to Brinkburn pub and it was such a great experience ✨
@@JayandKarolina I lived there over 20 years ago and everything has changed so much since then, I think I would now need recommendations for which bars are the best x
I has not expect this neither 🤩 Newcastle is a very nice, stone, old city! 🏰
We really liked how the old architecture is intertwined with modern buildings and solutions 😍 The city is undergoing lots of renovations at the moment so it’s going to be even more modern soon!
Fantastic video, Newcastle is a lovely place, the people are very friendly and the countryside is stunning. The nightlife is outstanding also.👏🏼
Couldn't agree more! Thank you so much for watching our video :)
Nice to see people enjoying my home city, moved away from there years ago but still visit from time to time
Where did you move to? :)
Great vlog, glad you enjoyed Newcastle.
Nice, love the old period architecture in Newcastle. Also, am a fan of those arcade shopping alley and the Grainger market is lovely especially those old charming old stores. I am not a drinker but I do like the vibes and the deco at the pub. Very unique and the pies look yum.
Same here! We can resonate with all what you’ve just said - the old vibes and architecture of Newcastle just added a charm to the city 😍 And these pies were delicious! So glad we got recommended this place by the local!
My hometown. I loved growing up there. Such a friendly city. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Howay the lads!
We're so happy to hear that from a local! It's truly amazing how people love this city :)
Glad you seemed to enjoy our city, Ive watched quite.a few videos of people visiting but yours was the best. At night is when Newcastle really comes alive with over 500 pubs in the city centre. The metro system although in parts is showing its age is fantastic you can get to the beach in about 20 minutes. Hope you enjoyed your stay 🙂
500 pubs?! That's insane 🤪 I understand now why people say it's a great city for a night out! We had no idea what with the metro you can actually go to the sea, it's quite convenient then!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're always trying to make sure we film everything what is interesting, so glad our efforts are appreciated ❤️
@@JayandKarolina Yeah in about 20 minutes you can get off at Tynemouth which has a street with shops, Bars and restaurants. It also a chippy. It has a lovely cove called St Edwards Bay or you can walk along to Whitley Bays Long sands then into Cullercoats cove which also have Metro Stations. They rent out paddle boards or you could have a surfboard lesson. The water can be a bit cold though 😂
The best city in England 🏴
Great informative video and 2 very likeable people👍
Glad you enjoyed it! THanks for watching :) We always like to share a bit of history about the places we're visiting and also to showcase what matters to the locals!
I am a Geordie lad, I hope you had a lovely time in Newcastle!!!
We truly had! And all the Geordies we came across were super friendly so we felt super welcomed too :)!
Can I say as a Newcastle lad. Gateshead has improved also but still a bit to catch up.
Hi Jay, congratulations on the video you made 😄
Hi Karolina you are always fantastic and nice as always 😘
Yay! Thank you!
The building near to the castle, that you said you didn’t know, is the Moot Hall which is an old court building. I believe it’s still used as a court.
Glad you enjoyed mate , great place for cycle couriers too , if you ever want to bring your bike up here 👍🏻
Sounds good! We really enjoyed strolling around the city too 😊 Because of the bridges and different perspectives Newcastle is quite a unique place!
That was actually the very first marks and Spencer’s shop ever opened and it still operates
We were so surprised seeing it because it looked so cute haha especially when you compare it to the M&S stores which are brand new! It's amazing that the market still preserves the tradition :)
Excellent pronunciation of Newcastle, spot on.
Glad you think so! We've tried our best 😂
You mentioned the new building construction when you were near the Theatre Royal. That is to house thousands of civil servants and is funded by the Reuben brothers, part owners of Newcastle United
Oh, I loved that building :) Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
lucky you didnt go on shields road would of had no camera to film the rest lol
Really? Is it the most dodgy area? Never heard of it haha
Accidentally came across your channel, I live in Newcastle, great informed video…. And there’s so much more but please don’t tell everyone because that’s part of the joy.😢
Thank you! More videos to come - around the whole of UK - so hoping not to destroy the pece and beauty of Newcastle 😌
Did you know the geordie accent is the closest to old english .❤
That's so interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
Very true. A lot of Norse influence.
like sunderland, after the ship building was lost back in the day, there has been some great regenration spend on both quay sides, newcastle and sunderland,
The modernisation efforts are truly visible! It’s been so nice just strolling around and looking at the cityscape and bridges 😍
@@JayandKarolina Im from sunderland down the road, big newcastle football rivalry, as yu may know, the trouble with the northeast, we dont get the money or funding, compared to southern places, the north south devide, but you channel is not politics,
I love they way chhaya tried to say geordies lol, we have many different names for the areas, she might find funny, i will list a few
you know the geordies
sunderland are mackems, it said to come from ship building we make them then they take away, hence mackem
hartlepool are know as monkey hangers, this comes from when the ships went exploring and a monkey was brought back or found on board and they thought it was a spy, so they hung it
middlesboro are know as the smoggies, because of the steel industry, the furnesses,
Newcastle is massive when you take in the surrounding area, people who live far from the city centre will just say "I'm from Newcastle", despite living over 10 miles away. Anywhere West of Newcastle is just beautiful nature and countryside, which is for many the best part about living here; with the Lake District right on our doorstep.
Newcastle is my hometown and I’m proud to say I live here 🖤🤍 great video 😊
So glad to hear that ❤️ I can easily say that it was one of our favourite UK cities! Thank you so much for watching :)
Beautiful church and UK buildings are fascinating
I totally agree! Once you enter the churches it’s a completely different world! And the Northern England architecture is just TOP 😍
The building being build in the city centre is going to be a government department HMRC building and is due to be completed in 2027
You should come into Newcastle castle it is now in two parts and is very interesting come and pay it a visit
Thanks! We were wondering if it's worth it but now we know :)
I wouldn’t say Newcastle is underrated, it often gets voted the best city to live, work, part etc. Probably a lot of ignorant southerners look upon it as grim, and are actually surprised when they visit…
That was a trolley bus. They used normal roads but took their power from electric cables overhead. they were fairly common in the 50s and early 60s. I never really understood why they wer phased out.
What an excellent video so well put together and you’ve visited places in Newcastle I’ve never been to and I’m almost 66!
Having said that I do live in Northumberland and the beauty of Newcastle as a City it will take you around 15-20 mins and your at the coast and if your travelling North in around 30-45mins you can be in the countryside with some spectacular scenery so maybe the next time you visit hire a car and travel up the A1 along the coastline and maybe visit Morpeth, Alnwick,Craster, seahouses & Bamburgh (castle) just a thought and a change of scenery. 👍
Up the Toon Army 🖤🤍🖤🤍 and your Girlfriend/ Partner when she says Geordies is very cute you make a lovely couple.
So stay healthy and I wish you nothing but happiness and success. 👍🖤🤍🖤🤍
They closed the whole length of grey street a while back to film part of the Transformers film. I hope you visit Alnwick on your travels
That’s insane! Would want to watch it then 😬 Thanks for your comment!
@JayeshChhaya try Bamburgh too, many Hollywood films made there , Harrison Ford's last Indiana Jones film a couple of years ago was one. To see Bamburgh search UA-cam for Si, the Drone guy & look for his video titled Bamburgh, you won't regret it 😉
Great City, often visit because my friend lives there.
Yes, Newcastle has been very cool! And I can imagine that it's a perfect place to catch up with friends too 😬🍻
The cathedral has a strong connection with Denmark. During WWII danish fishermen were stranded at sea during the occupation. They were taken in by Newcastle and the cathederal would hold cross cultural events. They still hold a danish banquet once a year 👍
If you want to see a stunning Cathedral and equally amazing city pop down the road to Durham, im born and bred Newcastle but Durham is stunning
This was exactly our idea :) We went after Newcastle straight to Durham, so hope you'll enjoy the next video ❤️ Durham Cathedral was one of the MOST STUNNING cathedrals we've ever seen!
Long time no DVRo videos long time Bro with please please I miss from Ghana
It's a cool place and also good nightlife
I live not far in co.Durham, my Aussie girlfriend loves Newcastle and so do I
No wonder! We actually went from Newcastle to Durham and loved both the cities :) So different but both super pleasant to stroll around and have some fun!
I live in Wideopen Newcastle-upon-Tyne ,can you explore the castle next time
Possibly! Thank you for the suggestion :)
Georgian = Grainger Town was built in the Georgian era and by neo classical it’s meant that the buildings reflect ancient Greco Roman architecture
Great insight! Thank for sharing! We loved the architecture of the city so much 😍
great video i live in gateshead i sub love it
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed filming in Newcastle! I can imagine it must be so nice to live close to the city 😍
The actual metros are very old due to a lack of investment in public transport in the north by the government. We’ll finally be getting new rolling stock next year.
We genuinely liked the vibe of the metro but the noise was just too much haha so once it's renovated, it will definitely be another value added to the city!
You can spot the cathedral? Oh, you mean St James' Park, gotcha.
😂😂😂 True that!
A lot of the Metro System, was built in the 70's. Hence it looking old. But some of it is more modern.
That’s what we thought! It would have been totally fine apart of the horrible noises 😂 But I guess you can get used to it! The decor is very cool though 👌
The trains are in the process of being replaced with Swiss built ones. They have same seat configuration as London Tube ones, and crucially have battery back up in the event of power failures therefore passengers won't be stranded
Theres a few places you missed of, unless you did another video. Durham is also a nice city to
What are them places? Are you talking specifically about Newcastle or surrounding areas? :) We actually went to Durham and filmed there another video! Such a nice city too but yet so different 🏰
Back in the mid 90s Newcastle was 3rd in the best cities in the world to party
I can imagine! There was so many great pubs and bars 🥳🍻
@JayandKarolina there used to be a lot more including the boat at the dock of the quayside with a revolving dance floor.
Jimmy Hendrix, once played The Strawberry.
That’s insane! Thanks for sharing 🥳🥳🥳
He played Shieldfield social club too
Best city in the Uk!
Definitely has just become one of our favourites too 😍
Newcastle is a great city
Totally agree! We liked how the modern areas are intertwined with the old ones :) And people were super friendly too!
Enjoyed this but at the end you need a summary of what both of you thought.
Great suggestion! Sometimes after a ling day of filming you just forget about to put your opinion about the place out there, but it's definitely a nice thing to do!
Are you Both married, Nice video to watch if I ever found myself in Newcastle i would visit the discovery museum, One criticism when you stop to read a notice can you please read the notice as much as you can as foreign views we can understand what you saying is what you are reading and maybe follow with a finger, The white and yellow bus in the display case in the discovery museum was known as a trolly bus that run on over head electric cables. Are you planning to do any trips to Wales, please visit Tenby I use to visit this town alot when I was in the UK you will be blown away I loved to hear you reactions to it,
No, we are not a married couple YET 😜 We will be going to Wales, so we will definitely consider Tenby - because to be honest we haven't heard much about it!
Regarding filming, we are learning how to use our new camera because sometimes it takes on a life of its own haha, but every comment is very valuable!
Thank you for your constant support and watching :)
Wonderful City, biased being a Geordie 😊
Well said! It's truly amazing to hear how Geordies are proud of this city ❤️
the best place to live in the country, when factoring quality of life/cost of living
We found it super pleasant just being there for 2-3 days so can imagine how nice it would be to live there :) Thanks for watching!
They are not seagulls, they are kittiwakes nesting.
Thanks for sharing!
Yo Bro is from Ghana how is holiday Bro
Newcastle is a great city although Durham for me is the best city in the North East.
This is good because it is the next city we visited right after Newcastle - we won't reveal the details, but the word "charming" is the key 😍 Hope you'll enjoy that vlog!
those birds are Kittiwakes- the furthest inland colony in the world
Great to know! Thanks for sharing!!
Newcastle is the best city in the world, my home. It's mint, don't visit! Don't spoil it!
It really is a great city! We hope that all the visitors coming after watching this video will only add to the charm of the city :)
Less than 18 seconds in… you haven’t found a hidden gem…
Everyone knows about Newcastle upon Tyne….
You would be surprised :)!
Nice words and it’s not underrated to us
Just don’t telll anyone else
Oops 😬 Now all the viewers will know the secret! But we really loved Newcastle!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Should have gone to feds fried chicken
I'll never say no to fried chicken! Karolina on the other hand doesn't like fried foods 😅
Huh? Are they aliens?
??? 😂
Newcastle used to be in the Top 10 party cities in the World for many years so it's hardly underated 🙄
Haha, we've heard about it! No doubt because we passed by so many great pubs and bars! There's always going to be a good reason to come back 🤭🍻
Personally think Newcastle is massively over rated as UK cities go. Far more interesting places to visit.
Where do you recommend?
@@JayandKarolina Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Brighton, York, Leeds, London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Belfast, Chester
@@stantier2865you’re having a laugh 😂😂😂
@@stantier2865 York is a nice city and a possible rival to Newcastle. Edinburgh has some nice places but isn't better than Newcastle, it is very expensive and unless you spend a bit of time in the city to find the hidden gems, it's a tourist trap - worse than York... the rest not even close. Don't get me wrong, the cities you name have some good points and places, I love the cosmopolitan feel to some of those cities, the access to the arts and food, but overall they don't compare to Newcastle. Newcastle is a beautiful city with amazing architecture, big enough to have things happening but small enough to keep a friendly vibe, plus really easy access to the countryside and coast. You can't buy two tickets to a great theatre show and have change from £30 in London, you may have better choice but it comes at a cost that is not affordable for a family to see a show monthly.
@@NorthernWayfarer-Alice Absolute nonsense. Overall the wider area of northumberland has more to offer the city of newcastle itself is pretty depressing aside from the waterfront. very little to offer, not particularly cosmopolitan and very little by way of independent enterprise. went in october and had to leave early. other UK cities have a far better offering speaking from personal experience. Liverpool is a far more interesting city than newcastle.
Try to visit Durham Cathedral and BEAMISH if possible.
Durham video coming soon! We didn't get a chance to go to BEAMISH unfortunately as it was a bit out of the way without a car :(
@@JayandKarolina Durham is a lovely city. The cathedral for me has the best interior of all them.
Somewhere else to consider, it is very small in comparison to Newcastle but if you want a true hidden gem that you can reach by rail... check out Berwick, three historically significant bridges, the remains of the medieval castle form part of the station but also down by the river bank, the Elizabethan town walls make a great walk. And it still maintains a number of small independent shops. It is probably the most underrated place in the North East. It wouldn't take long to see everywhere but if you had the time, it is possible to get the bus along to Norham castle or have a stroll north along the coast for cliffs and sea caves or south for 5-7 miles of sand beach.
