Our City and our Country – Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

A stylish, exciting city in an unforgettable country
Glasgow is one of the most exciting and accessible destinations in Europe. Glasgow combines the energy and sophistication of a great international city with some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.

Our city is an architectural dream, with Victorian red and honey sandstone, Italianate steeples and medieval spires, harmoniously juxtaposed with neo-gothic towers, the sensuous art nouveau of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and contemporary titanium, glass and steel.

We also have many internationally acclaimed museums and galleries, including the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, unique Burrell Collection and stunning Mackintosh House. Our architecture, culture, museums and galleries all reinforce our reputation as one of the most stylish Scottish cities.

Legendary nightlife and entertainment events
Our contemporary music scene is legendary and our nightlife eclectic. Glasgow is home to the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and the Citizens Theatre, as well as a plethora of annual celebrations including Celtic Connections and Piping Live!

Glasgow is always an eventful experience. Our unique style is also reflected in our year-round events programme which offers festivals, exhibitions, live performances and sporting fixtures.

Glasgow is renowned for excellent shopping as well as its burgeoning restaurant scene, its range of accommodation is equally as impressive, embracing everything from boutique hotels to well-known chains.
