Glasgow's city centre is teaming with distractions for the discerning urbanite. Easy to navigate thanks to a grid system similar to that of the American cities, Glasgow offers shopping, dining and culture in equal measure. Thanks to huge regeneration throughout the 80s and 90s the city as we know it today is a far cry from the industrial shipbuilding hub of the past.

The unrivalled shopping district of Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street, known as The Golden Z, is thought to have some of the highest shop rental rates in the world. Here you can find anything from designer women's wear to bespoke tailoring as well as high street favourites. A multi-cultural and multi-ethnic community, the City boasts a fine array of dining opportunities from around the world. The cafes, bars and clubs are similarly varied with something to suit every taste.

In 2004 Time Magazine likened Glasgow to Detroit during its 1960s Motown heyday. High praise indeed, but the cities cultural credentials speak for themselves. The city that gave birth to Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand and the Fratellis is also home to several of Europe's best museums, galleries and theatres such as Kelvingrove Museum in the picturesque park of the same name, and The Theatre Royal. Moving to Glasgow's city centre will ensure that this cornucopia of entertainment is right on your doorstep.
