The city centre
The city centre, with its grid system of streets, lays on the north bank of the River Clyde. You can enjoy a walk around the centre of town, admiring the public statues on the newly redesigned George Square, and discover the city's 19th century architecture, which takes you back to a period when the city's economy was booming. To sample the architecture, visit the extravagant interior of the City Chambers and sightsee around the city's thoroughfares, such as Buchanan Street. You will also have an opportunity to admire the Art Nouveau buildings and details which made Glasgow famous for being home to famous architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Visit the Willow Tea Rooms, the Glasgow School of Art, and the Tenement House.
Beyond enjoying the architecture and the bustling city centre, be sure to experience Glasgow's lively restaurant, club, pub, and live music scene.
