Glasgow Information
Glasgow has a unique blend of friendliness, urban chaos, black humour and energy. It boasts excellent art galleries and museums as well as numerous good-value restaurants, countless pubs, bars and a rollicking arts scene.
Although Glasgow lacks the instant inspirational 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 cresents.
The city centre is built on a grid plan on the north bank of the shipbuilding river Clyde. Sights are spread over a wide area, with Sauchiehall St the place to go for shops, pubs and restuarants. The whole place brims with a raucous energy.
