Things to do in Glasgow

Glasgow is a vibrant, buzzing city by day and night, with plenty of fun no matter your tastes or who you're with. So get involved in some fantastic Scottish culture as we give you the low-down on the top Glasgow attractions.

Where to eat

The Bon Accord

Bloc+

Cheap bites in Glasgow don’t come much better than a trip to Bloc+, an independent restaurant, bar and music venue on Bath Street. The flexible menu caters for veggies and meat-eaters, and the special deal days mean you’ll have plenty of cash spare to explore the city.

Gamba

If you love seafood, a visit to Gamba should be high on your list of things to do in Glasgow. For authentic Scottish cuisine, try the Isle of Gigha halibut, Scotch beef sirloin or roast Shetland cod. The fresh food is sourced from markets and is updated seasonally. With two AA Rosettes to its name, Gamba has a well-deserved reputation as one of Glasgow’s best restaurants.

Where to drink

Have a pie and a pint on Hope Street

Glasgow’s legendary nightlife needs little introduction, and a trip to The Pot Still is a good place to start. The venue is home to more than 700 malt whiskeys from all around the world, plenty of cask ales and tasty pies. All of which makes for a memorable night out in one of Glasgow’s best whiskey bars.

Experience Glasgow’s marvellous mixologists

You can find everything here, from affordable clothes to luxury jewellery, and it’s the perfect place to start before a walk down the city’s infamous Style Mile.
