Glasgow is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, home to the art nouveau architectural treasures of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and on the doorstep of Scotland’s glorious countryside.
Named a UNESCO World City of Music in 2009, Glasgow is also preparing to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Glasgow was named by Lonely Planet as one of the top 10 cities in the world to see in 2009, while US magazine Travel and Leisure declared “Glasgow is the UK’s hippest and most happening city”.

More than £1 billion is being invested to transform the riverfront into a stylish business, residential and leisure area, and this summer the world-famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum re-opened after a £27.9 million renovation.
Glasgow is a shopper’s paradise and was voted Britain’s top retail destination. The main shopping thoroughfare, Buchanan Street, has been voted one of the world’s top retail destinations.
The pristine splendour of the Ayrshire coast and Robert Burns country, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs - the gateway to Scotland’s famed Highlands – are less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow.
