Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, a thriving cultural city which is one of the most visited destinations in the United Kingdom. As well as attracting tourists, it's one of Europe's top twenty financial centres and home to many of Scotland's leading businesses.

History

Glasgow was founded by the Christian Saint Mungo in the sixth century, when he set up a church on the spot now occupied by Glasgow Cathedral. By the twelfth century, it had become a city with the cathedral built in stone. The University of Glasgow was founded by papal bull in 1451, and by the sixteenth century Glasgow was recognised as an important religious and academic centre. The River Clyde made the city a significant trading centre, allowing the import of tobacco, cotton and sugar from across the Atlantic, and with the Industrial Revolution Glasgow's trade and industry combined to make it one of the richest cities in the world at the end of the Victorian era. Although traditional industries declined in  the twentieth century, the city has undergone regeneration in the last few decades to create a thriving modern city.

Getting In & Getting Around

Glasgow is served by two main airports, Glasgow International and Glasgow Prestwick International, which is further away. Both are connected to the city centre by regular bus and train services. There are also two main line railway stations, Central and Queen Street. Getting around the city centre itself is easy - it's relatively compact, and simple to navigate on foot, or you can use the subway or buses. You'll also find it easy to get a taxi close to our Glasgow apartments.

Culture, Sights & Attractions

You'll find plenty to see and do all year round within easy reach of your Glasgow accommodation. Architecturally, the city offers a beautiful mixture of old and new, from striking Victorian buildings to modern properties like the Clyde Auditorium. There's a wide range of museums and galleries, attractive parks and open spaces, and an excellent variety of concert venues and nightlife.

Eating Out

There's a diverse range of cuisine on offer in Glasgow, from local Scottish specialities to the exceptional Indian fare that gave the city the title "curry capital of Britain" for two years. The traditional fish supper is also a favourite, available from fish and chip shops throughout the city. Restaurants offer a wide variety of international cuisines, from Chinese and Indian to Russian and Mongolian, all within easy reach of our Glasgow apartments.

Outside The City

For those who like to explore beyond the city, Glasgow accommodation offers a great base for discovering the beautiful Scottish countryside. Loch Lomond is within easy reach, and energetic visitors can climb nearby Ben Lomond for some fantastic views.
