Architecture
Shopping
Sides to the City
Don’t forget to look up!
Glasgow has some beautiful
buildings and architecture,
from the stunning Victorian City
Chambers to the Gothic drama
of Glasgow Cathedral. A
must-see is the work of
Glasgow born Art Nouveau
Architect and Designer, Charles
Rennie Mackintosh – his
magical style is inspirational,
from House for an Art Lover to
the Willow Tearooms, there’s a
Mackintosh experience for
everyone.
Glasgow has the best
shopping in the UK outside of
London, with over 1,500 shops
to browse round. The city’s
Style Mile, located along the
interlinked Sauchiehall,
Buchanan, Ingram and Argyle
streets, is jam packed with
malls, department stores, high
street retailers and designer
boutiques. During Games time,
many shops are open to 8pm
and some even later – so there
are lots of opportunities for
souvenir shopping and lots of
excuses to treat yourself.
Discover the individual
character of neighbourhood
areas such as the entertainment
district of Sauchiehall Street, the
bohemian West End, the
cultural Merchant City or the
eclectic South Side.
Clyde’s Trail
Look out for Clyde, the
Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth
games mascot. There are 25
colourful statues around the
city, each dressed in a different
outfit designed by Glasgow
schoolchildren. Download the
free Clyde’s Trail App and see
how many you can bag.
#clydestrail
Look out for
clyde around
the city on
Clyde’s Trail!
Eating out
Sightseeing is hungry work
– so make sure you re-fuel.
Glasgow’s dining scene is as
varied as it is delicious. From an
indulgent afternoon tea, to a
relaxed bar meal or fine dining
in a top restaurant, the full
spectrum of tastes is
catered for.
Museums & Galleries
The city has a fantastic
selection of art galleries and
museums, most of which are
free to visit. Discover world
class collections at Kelvingrove
Art Gallery & Museum, The
Riverside Museum, The Burrell
Collection and the Hunterian
Art Gallery.
