Glasgow is one of the most Scottish of cities, with a unique blend of friendliness, urban chaos, black humour and energy. It also boasts excellent art galleries and museums, as well as numerous good-value restaurants, countless pubs and bars and a lively arts scene.
Although Glasgow lacks the instantly inspiring beauty of Edinburgh, it's one of Britain's largest, liveliest and most interesting cities, with a legacy of appealing Victorian architecture and several distinguished suburbs of terraced squares and crescents.
The city centre is built on a grid plan on the north bank of the ship building river Clyde. Sights are spread over a wide area, with Sauchiehall St the place to go for shops, pubs and restaurants. The whole place brims with a raucous energy. |
