Glasgow City Guide

At the beginning of the 1990s, Glasgow celebrated its status as European City of Culture, and in 1999, its dazzling architecture won it the accolade of UK City of Architecture and Design. Since then, the city has gone from strength to strength, building a reputation as a destination where a great experience is guaranteed if the visitor seeks culture, entertainment, good food and drink, an all-day shopping experience or a taste of all of these.
These days, Glasgow promotes itself as 'Scotland with Style'. And it's got a point, you know.
For the last two decades, the city has carved out a reputation for architecture and design, fuelled by a ridiculously well-dressed (and notoriously friendly) population.
So you'd be right to expect incredible shops, earning Glasgow its reputation as the UK's favourite shopping city outside London.
Ralph Lauren, Armani and Boss are within minutes of each other. Need we go on? Then what about an array of desirable labels in the designer mall of Princes Square.
Want to show off those togs and get friendly with the Glaswegians? Glasgow's club scene is one of the most vibrant in the UK, offering a mix of big names and local talent. The Tunnel and Sub Club still rule for cutting edge sounds but don't ignore venues like The Arches and Liquid Lounge.
