For dining, Glasgow is consistently voted one of the best ‘foodie’ capitals of the UK with an award-winning array of eateries such as Café Gandolfi, Guy’s, Central Market, Two Fat Ladies and my personal favourite, Rogano which in 1935 was refitted in the same Art Deco style as the Cunard liner 'Queen Mary’ which was then being built on the River Clyde.
If you still have any energy, the ‘Second City’ is alive with music; gigs go on most nights of the week at venues such as 13th Note, Nice ‘n’ Sleazy or Maggie Mays. More traditional sounds can be sampled at the Old Fruitmarket or the Royal Concert Hall.
The City of Glasgow, over the past 20 years has enjoyed a massive cultural renaissance. Glasgow’s atmosphere can be as chic as Milan or Paris. Sitting outside the many coffee bars or browsing through art galleries scattered throughout the town, the city’s reputation for friendliness is only surpassed by its incisive sense of humour.
