There should be plenty of things in and around Glasgow to keep you entertained – for example, I hear there’s a wedding on.<\/p>\n
Outside of that shindig, the centre of Glasgow is Scotland’s busiest shopping location, and home to more pubs and clubs than I could possibly cover. <\/p>\n
The town centre has many restaurants, and with fierce competition it’s difficult to find a truly disappointing meal. Glasgow is, by reputation, the birthplace of Scotland’s traditional national dish – Chicken Tikka Masala, so it’s no surprise that there’s approximately a billion great curry houses. Of particular note are Mother India<\/a>, The Dhabba<\/a> and for a more old-school feel, The Koh-I-Noor<\/a>. Far Eastern cuisine is quite well represented too – we like Rumours<\/a>, Asia Style<\/a> and Wudon<\/a>.<\/p>\n More traditional Scottish food can be found too, including haggis is you really must. The Bothy<\/a> and Stravaign<\/a> are both fine choices, and the Ubiquitous Chip<\/a> is often described as Glasgow’s best resturaunt, with a price tag to match. Although, if it’s fish ‘n’ chips you’re hankering for, The Chippy Doon The Lane<\/a> is a great choice, or if you’re looking for a carry-out, the curiously named Philadelphia<\/a> is highly regarded.<\/p>\n There’s many more places, with many more cuisines that we could mention, such as the steaks from the Grill on the Corner<\/a> or Bo’vine<\/a>, or Cafe Andaluz<\/a>‘s tapas, or Meiko’s favourite cafe \/ middle eastern resturaunt The Bay Tree<\/a>, but I’m getting too hungry thinking about it. Just avoid Jamie’s Italian, I hear only bad things about it.<\/p>\n Once you’re fed and watered, Glasgow never short of things to do – the Museum of Modern Art in Royal Exchange Square and the Kelvingrove Museum are both fascinating and free to enter, if you ignore the suggested donation. I won’t judge you, you animal. If you want the double whammy of culture and the outdoors, take a trip to Pollock Park in the south of the city to see the Burrell Collection, take a walk around the woods and gardens, and then take a look at the Highland cows in their paddock. If that’s put you in the mood for more scenery, Loch Lomond is less than an hour away.<\/p>\n In the highly unlikley event of there being rain, an almost unheard of event in Glasgow’s tropical climes, you could take refuge in one of Europe’s busiest cinemas<\/a>, or one of the three shopping malls at the top, middle and bottom of Buchanan Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There should be plenty of things in and around Glasgow to keep you entertained – for example, I hear there’s a wedding on.
