About Glasgow

Whether you prefer the excitement of the city, the beauty of the coast, or the tranquillity of the countryside, Greater Glasgow & Clyde Valley has something for everyone!

Glasgow is the largest retail centre in the UK outside London with High Street favourites, designer boutiques and stylish shopping centres which offer a unique shopping experience within the heart of the city. The city's newest shopping must-see is the brand new Hamley's toy store, ideal for kids of all ages and easily accessed from Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport.

Glasgow is justifiably proud of its outstanding collection of visitor attractions. The majority are open all year round and many are free of charge to visitors.

In 1990, Glasgow marked its reign as Cultural Capital of Europe with a year long festival of over 3,000 events and the opening of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

And in 1999, Glasgow was given its second accolade of the decade, when it celebrated holding the title of UK City of Architecture and Design. This proved enormously popular with both visitors and local Glaswegians, and the city has seen much investment and growth as a result.
