    Beautiful architecture, interesting contemporary art - one of my favourite museums in Europe. Watch out for the vertigo inspiring installation in the staircase.

    A must if you are visiting Newcastle. For the view, the gallery and the walk to it.

    Super varied modern art installations. Check what's on on their website (or just turn up with an open mind).

    Great view from the top floors, friendly staff, lovely building. Good for a laugh to nod thoughtfully at puffed up descriptions of pretentious 'art', which is more creative than the works themselves

    Amazing views and exhibitions. Plus free entrance. If you have only a limited time on the Tyne, this is the place to go.

    If you are going to the restaurant on the 5th floor, just remember to book ahead to make sure you get to enjoy the food and the lovely view.

    The view over the Tyne from level 5 is fantastic! Especially at night, when the Millennium Bridge is illuminated.

    You could easily spend half a day here. Arrive early and finish in time for food and drinks in the bar.

    Although hot chocolate isn't listed on the menu I recommend asking for it. Very tasty.

    This amazing old mill now houses an ever-changing collection of the world’s best contemporary art. It also has a tremendous art and design library.

    If you come to Newcastle and don't visit The Baltic you are a fool of a Took! Awesome place.

    Good cafe downstairs (cheaper than the restaurant on floor 6), viewing platform on floor 4 is the best - it's actually outside!

    Take the lift to the fifth floor and then work your way down. Bar on the sixth floor as well.

    Very powerful Anselm Kiefer exhibition, one of Europe's foremost post-war artists. The Exhibition spans 40 years of his work and includes the 2006 installation Palmsonntag (8 Oct - 16 Jan 2011).

    Stripping off naked and making a mad dash accross the Millennium bridge and back will get you free coffee in the downstairs cafe!
