Welcome to Glasgow

We’re set in the heart of the city, so offer the perfect base to discover our thriving city. It’s buzzing with arts, music and cultural scenes, where there really is something for everyone. Our oldest district – the Merchant City – is awash with cosy bars, eclectic restaurants, and boutique shops and galleries – all in old market buildings and warehouses.

Take some time exploring the city on foot, and take in some classic architecture, nestled amongst our more nouveau scene. With our revived neighbourhoods, Victorian architecture, stylish cafés and revamped riverfront, there really is so much waiting for you to explore.

If you’re looking for some retail therapy, you’ve come to the right place. Glasgow has some of the UK’s best shopping, with our ‘Style Mile’ of designer and high street brands, plus vintage finds around the East End and Byers Road.

Glasgow is buzzing with confidence. There really is no better time to get out there and get exploring!
