About Glasgow

Scotland's biggest city, Glasgow is a vibrant and exciting place to work and stay and people who live here are proud of the city’s culture, sport, buildings and wide-open spaces.

Often referred to as one of ‘world’s friendliest cities’, it's credentials are well-recognised: in the Conde Nast Readers' Choice Awards (2022) and Time Out Index (2022). People really do make Glasgow!  

The city has world-class museums, galleries and attractions including The Burrell Collection (winner of the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2023), Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow Science Centre, and the Riverside Museum. And many of these assets are found within GRID. 

And the city has a legendary arts and music scene with many iconic venues, including the Barrowland Ballroom, Time Out's Best Venue in the UK (2023), and the multi-arts and music venue SWG3 which lies at the heart of the innovation district.

Dining out and enjoying a drink are easy to do in a city with plenty of choice. From brunch to afternoon tea, street food to Michelin star dining, Scottish seafood to plant-based menus, people who live in Glasgow and visitors with different budgets are not stuck for places to try out.
