If you've never been to Glasgow before, you may want to take some time to explore the sights of the city, take in some of the cultural venues, or spend a few pounds in the shops.
We've got a couple of places you may wish to explore before you leave the city.
Glasgow's vibrant city centre lies north of the River Clyde. Its heart is George Square, a 19th-century municipal showpiece crowned by the City Chambers.
Glasgow's commercial centre spreads west of George Square, and is mostly built on a large grid system of roads lined by grand Victorian buildings and modern skyscrapers.
The city centre offers some of the best shopping experiences outside of London, arranged along the interlinked and mostly pedestrianised thoroughfares of Argyle Street, Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street. The large contemporary mall Buchanan Galleries is close to Princes Square, one of the most stylish shopping centres in the country.
There is a wonderful array of restaurants and cafes in the city centre, while major cultural offerings include the Gallery of Modern Art, the showpiece Royal Concert Hall and the Theatre Royal.
Edinburgh might be Scotland’s capital, but Glasgow is its biggest city, and the third biggest city in the whole UK. Culture, great food, fantastic buildings. Glasgow really does have it all. A great place to start your day is George Square, which is the city’s main square.
Admire the monuments to famous Scots and the impressive architecture while taking some time to look at the map and plan your itinerary on the City Sightseeing Glasgow hop-on hop-off bus tour.
The city centre is full of cafes, restaurants and bars. We've listed some below that you might want to consider.
The Merchant City is also only one mile away where you will find plenty of other great restaurants, bars and pubs.
If you're dining in groups, it's advisable to book a table to ensure they can seat you.
