“City Buzz and River Views - A Surprisingly Great Start”
by Laura Reed – June 2025

The quayside is lovely for a walk with the kids (ours are 6 and 10), and there's plenty going on without feeling too hectic. The Baltic Centre was a fun stop, and everyone loved the bridges - especially lit up at night.
