To visit Glasgow is to experience Scotland with style. It is a city with a flair for fashion and a talent for design. It is sophisticated and elegant yet still retains its legendary warmth and generous hospitality. Enjoy fantastic shopping, amazing architecture and world-class museums. Discover Glasgow’s fabulous restaurants, great bars, friendly people and exciting events. One of Europe’s leading cultural capitals, Glasgow has an enviable portfolio of internationally renowned museums and galleries including the unique Burrell Collection, stunning Mackintosh House and cool and contemporary Gallery of Modern Art. It is a city where good food and great style are inextricably linked. You can quite literally eat your way round the world in Glasgow as the city’s café culture embraces the very latest trends in global cuisine, from the style & sushi bars of the Merchant City to the restaurants and brasseries in the hip West-End. As the largest retail centre in the UK outside of London, not only is Glasgow tops for shops but its compact city centre and grid system make it easy to navigate during serious retail therapy! Giant high street malls such as the ultra modern Buchanan Galleries are just a short stroll from the elegance of the Italian Centre and Princes Square as well as the designer boutiques of the Merchant City. The cobbled mews and lanes of the city’s West-End are a treasure trove for anyone hunting antiques and rare books. Whether you’re a clubber, concert-goer, opera aficionado, theatre lover or dance fan, visiting Glasgow is always an eventful experience. No matter when you arrive you’ll find live performances, festivals and entertainment fifty-two weeks of the year.
