Retail

The City of Glasgow is the largest retail centre outside London. Glasgow is tops for shops and its compact city centre and grid system make it easy to navigate during serious retail therapy! Giant high street malls such as the ultra modern Buchanan Galleries and the St Enoch Centre are just a short stroll from the elegance of the Italian Centre and Princes Square as well as the speciality shops of the Merchant City.

The mews and lanes of the city's bohemian West-End are a treasure trove for anyone hunting antiques and rare books while contemporary works by both up-and-coming and established artists can be found in the art galleries of West Regent Street.

It is also worth taking time out from the hustle and bustle to explore the antique shops, craft workshops and garden centres tucked away in the area's market towns and villages.
