Merchant City, Glasgow
Situated at the east side of the city centre,
the Merchant City is the edgy pulse of Glasgow's heart,
brimming with historical and cultural gems, rich in
architectural heritage and surrounded by echoes of the industrial
bygone era - an era that established Glasgow as the powerful 2nd
city of the British Empire. Ship Builders, Iron Founders,
Inventors, Locomotive Makers, Architects and Tobacco Merchants
built the foundations of this vibrant, ambitious city.
The Merchant City is an especially big attraction for
those with an avid interest in the arts - and distinctive,
gourmet food. With its plethora of restaurants and wine bars
where you can find food from every corner of the world including
Persia, Brazil, Russica, Mexico, India, Spain, Scotland (of
course) and an extensive range of Italian and Mediterranean
Restaurants.
