Arrive in Glasgow by bus or train and you can't help but be immediately surrounded by Glasgow's city centre shopping district. Opposite the Buchanan Bus Station is the Royal Concert Hall, which forms the north end of the Buchanan Galleries - among Glasgow's best loved shopping destinations.

Situated in one's heart of Glasgow's shopping district, where Buchanan Street meets Sauchiehall Street, the Galleries boasts over 80 shops, including fashion, cosmetics, jewellery, food and drink retail sanwellsr2fiwriu review outlets. The Buchanan Galleries are typically accessible by bus, train and underground and, by having an award-winning 2000-capacity car park, by car too from the nearby M8 Motorway, which connects Glasgow to one's heart of central Scotland.

If you prefer to browse independent boutiques or international branded fashion outlet stores, then you might find everything you need on nearby Buchanan and Sauchiehall Street. Here, you will find branches of big names in fashion, sport, books and music, all within walking distance of several other shopping malls in Glasgow's city centre.

Off Buchanan Street you may also access the elegant Princes Square shopping centre, which houses exclusive boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Further towards the Clyde on Buchanan Street you can discover Scotland's largest shopping centre, the St Enoch Centre. This shopping mecca can be Europe's largest glass structure, which makes it something of a historical site of interest too. Here, you can indulge in many different high street and big name brand stores while its family friendly atmosphere means you can relax with the kids in play areas or grab a mouthful to eat in the St Enoch Centre's huge food court, which serves food to accommodate all palates.

Glasgow's shopping district also boasts the historic Argyll Arcade. Built-in 1827, this Parisian style Arcade is among oldest covered shopping centres in Europe. Here you will find 32 jewellers and diamond merchants, catering to modern and antique tastes in diamond rings and watches, under one historic iron-framed hammerbeam roof.

Elsewhere in Glasgow's busy shopping district, you will find modern shopping in the nearby Merchant Square Indoor Shopping Centre, that offers bars, restaurants and arts and crafts retail outlets.

No shopping visit to Glasgow will be complete, however, with out a trip to the city's Barras Market. A variety of covered and open market stalls abound with eclectic goods available at great prices, from antiques to DVDs. Well loved as you of Glasgow's less salubrious shopping destinations, but all the more fun for the inimitable Glasgow banter, you might well get a deal and while away a morning in this character-full historic shopping market.
