ABOUT GLASGOW
Glasgow is a stylish, cosmopolitan and confident city that offers its visitors a huge amount to see and do. Please put aside any preconceptions you may have about Glasgow, it's really worth visiting. There's lots of free museums, art galleries & parks, so it doesn't have to break the bank.

Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde, in the West of Scotland, and has a population of around 596,550, making it the largest city in Scotland. Glasgow’s position on the west coast and the effects of the Gulf Stream give it a slightly milder climate than other Scottish cities, but please prepare for all weather, especially in Autumn/Winter.

Glasgow was heavily reliant on the industries of ship building and heavy engineering which have now declined. After years of industrial decline, it has reinvented itself to become an exciting European city with enormous potential. Glasgow has a rich cultural heritage and some very impressive Victorian architecture, the Glasgow City Chambers and the University of Glasgow being some notable examples.

Glasgow as a city very much reflects its people. Through booms and busts Glaswegians have always shown enormous resilience and an enterprising spirit to turns things around. Their great sense of humour and kindliness are undoubtedly the qualities that keep this city flourishing. The city’s latest slogan is true: 'people make Glasgow'.

The city was home to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a famous architect and arts & crafts designer born in 1868, whose distinctive style can still be seen today in architecture all around the city.

The City of Glasgow is now one of the most exciting and culturally vibrant cities in Europe. Glasgow has re-invented itself from post-industrial decline to a city full of some of the best museums, galleries and places to eat in the UK – and the shopping is fantastic! You only need to take a walk around its magnificent streets, lined with beautiful, ornate Victorian buildings, or to enjoy a coffee in one of its stylish West End bars and cafes to feel the confidence and optimism that exudes from this wonderful Scottish city.

There is so much to see and do in Glasgow that it can be difficult to fit it all in. Ideally, take at least a couple of days. Whether you want to visit the Riverside Transport Museum or the Burrell Collection, go shopping along trendy Byres Road, or have dinner in one of the elegant restaurants of the Merchant City – you’ll be amazed at what Glasgow has to offer.

Glasgow is now one of the most visited cities in the UK and offers its lucky residents & visitors a wealth of cultural heritage, visitor attractions, sporting activities, live music venues, fabulous places to eat and, of course, fabulous shopping along the “style mile”. The city still produces some great buildings today including, amongst others, the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, the Glasgow Science Centre, the SSE Hydro arena and the ever popular concert venue The Clyde Auditorium, also affectionately known as “the Armadillo”.

The City is also fantastic for shopping, especially along Argyle Street, Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street and in the shopping centres Buchanan Galleries, St Enoch Centre, Princes Square and the Italian Centre - to name but a few. Enjoy your visit to this fabulous city!
