About Glasgow
Glasgow, meaning 'dear green place' is actually Scotland's biggest city, with a population of almost 612,000, but is justified in this name - it has over 70 parks and open spaces. It hosts the best shopping services outside of London and has excellent business, cultural, sport and tourist facilities. Glasgow has won the prestigious titles of European City of Culture 1990, UK City of Architecture and Design 1999 and the European Capital of Sport 2003.
Its stylish streets are lined with some of the finest and most skilfully preserved Victorian buildings, and the City Chambers, Glasgow's public headquarters in George Square, is a potent reminder of the city's 19th century status as the second city of the Empire.
Glasgow's unique atmosphere should be experienced by everyone. Entertainment in Glasgow includes some of the finest festivals, special events and a vibrant night life. The innumerable pubs and clubs are all situated within close vicinity, all adding to a brilliant night out. |
