Glasgow is a haven for anyone wanting to let their hair down. It is bursting with a variety of pubs and clubs to suit all tastes. One area that most people head to at night is Sauchiehall Street, where you’ll find most of the major clubs (the biggest and the best being the Garage) and pubs (try Revolution, a vodka bar – it’s amazing, you can get any flavour vodka you like).
If it’s shopping you want, then Glasgow has it all. Try Argyle Street, which has all the major shops, or go to Buchanan Galleries on Buchanan Street – it’s huge and has all the major shops but in smaller versions, but it’s handy if it’s raining. On Buchanan Street also is UCG Cinema, which is the biggest in Europe and has about six floors and 18 cinema screens.
Restaurants are everywhere in Glasgow and you won’t have to look to find one. One of the nicest I went to was St. Vincent’s 75, very posh and expensive but worth it. You can find it on St. Vincent St just off Buchanan St. If you are on a budget and want something other than fast food, then most of the pubs are great - Failte does wonderful food and is really cheap. You will find this also in St. Vincent St, and being an Irish bar helps as well.
