Glasgow - Something For Everyone
Scotland’s largest city has something for everyone, from great shopping to stunning architecture.
It’s not hard to see why Glasgow is promoted as “Scotland with Style” – from the iconic architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh to some of the best shopping in Scotland, Glasgow’s got style in abundance.
For the dedicated fashionista there’s a host of designer boutiques, independent outlets and big name stores, offering plenty of opportunities to shop in style.
If you prefer to socialise the city has a wide range of bars, clubs and restaurants to suit every taste – and budget. As you would expect from the city that spawned bands as diverse as Wet Wet Wet and Franz Ferdinand (to name just two), Glasgow has a thriving music scene, offering everything from international stars playing the city’s arenas to emerging talent starting out in one of the numerous smaller clubs and venues. There is also a lively comedy scene and a host of theatres where you can see everything from big name musicals to works by new writers.
The city is, of course, famous for its architecture – the legacy of Charles Rennie Mackintosh is evident in buildings such as the iconic Glasgow School of Art to the charming Willow Tea Rooms. The city is also home to a number of stunning new buildings such as the quirky Armadillo (Clyde Auditorium). Hardly surprising then that the city was named UK City of Architecture in 1999.
As you would expect from a city of this size, there are numerous galleries and museums to explore and enjoy, perhaps the most popular being Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. This much-loved attraction is home to works by Dali, Rembrandt and Titian, as well as artifacts from Ancient Egypt and plenty of interactive and hands-on exhibits to amuse and enthrall children of all ages.
The city is home to numerous new and established businesses, a variety of conference and exhibition spaces, and – as the base of BBC Scotland, STV, numerous newspapers and a range of radio stations – is seen as the heart of Scotland’s media industry.
The city enjoys excellent transport links, it’s in the heart of the motorway network, has two international airports and two major railway stations, plus a great bus and underground network, making exploring the city quick and convenient.
From fashion to football, bands to ballet, shopping to site seeing – and everything in between – Glasgow is the place to be. No matter how long you stay you’ll discover something new, and another reason to return very soon!
