Day-time in Glasgow
Shopping
Plan for excess baggage on your return journey now. Glasgow is second only to London as Britain's most important shopping city. There's excellent shopping in Princes Square and Buchanan Galleries, which houses a designer mall with names like Liberty, Laura Ashley and Burberry. While Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street have most of the high street names.
Whether you’re after extravagant design objects or the latest fashion item, you’ll find everything you could wish for in Glasgow’s extensive boutiques and stores – so enjoy your time hunting around!
Hurly-burly in the Merchant City
Rush into the lively to-ing and fro-ing in the Merchant City. You’ll find endless variety in the trendy design and art galleries, pubs, clubs, bars, and restaurants – round the clock. This is a great place in which to experience the warm-heartedness and quick humour that Glaswegians are so famous for.
“Hip and happening”: Byres Road
Wander along Byres Road in the West End, where Glasgow’s Bohemia is at home. With its little boutiques and cosy cafés it is the “hip and happening” district. And the very relaxed atmosphere is extremely infectious!
