In modern times as the shipyards slowly fade into history with a sense of pride, this sociably city with endless charm, character and spirit is the result of a notable overhaul, which was set in motion by the Glasgow’s miles better campaign in the 1980s, this resulted in the city being crowned the European city of culture in 1990.

Now established as one of the friendliest cities in the world you can expect a warm welcome as you journey through a diverse and lively city with strikingly beautiful architecture, innovative cuisine and an insatiable spirit.
