LOCATION

This is Glasgow at its most vibrant and cultured. Sophisticated shops, restaurants, bars and clubs mingle with grand architecture and art collections. Fashion jostles with big business here and the coolest of Glasgow folk can be found whiling away days and nights with coffee or whisky (or both) in hand, within strolling distance of the flat, at a pavement café or in a glitzy bar. The GPO Building is right in the heart of the city centre just off George Square and on the edge of the Merchant City, The GPO building itself is just one of many magnificent buildings which have been lovingly restored in recent years, and are now home to the most sophisticated and up-market shops, restaurants, clubs and bars.

Pavement cafés

The delights of the UK's second largest shopping centre can't fail but draw you into the main shopping centre of Buchanan Street, Argyle Street and St Enoch's Shopping Centre, for more than a touch of retail therapy. If you fancy a bird's eye view of the city, the Glasgow City Tour on an open-topped bus starts from George Square - well worth taking during your stay.

If it's culture you're looking for, there are museums, art galleries and historic buildings round every corner. Theatres too abound, with a wide variety of performances throughout the year, from serious theatre to comedy, avant garde to traditional, pantomimes to musicals. Glasgow Film Theatre is not far away, showing a specialist programme of film, TV and video, much of which can not be seen elsewhere. The latest blockbusters are available in mainstream cinemas within the city.
