From cafes, pubs and venues, there are plenty of places of interest in and around Glasgow.
From the city centre to the outskirts of Glasgow, visitors are spoiled for choice.
We give a small snapshot of the many places where you can go to shop, eat, see and play.
Authentics

Hinba
The owners of this recently launched cafe are self-confessed coffee fanatics (they roast their own on the Isle of Seil, in “pure Hebridean air”) but care just as much about the environment, sustainability and the farmers they work with - 86 Dumbarton Road, G11, hinba.co.uk
Hoos

SWG3
