Location
Glasgow is the ideal place for a wide range of entertainment, leisure and cultural activities.
This Merchant City Apartment is ideally place to explore these within walking distance of most of the famous venues, revenues and retail shopping.
If you want to experience the mind boggling Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet, or Royal Scottish National Orchestra, they are all based in Glasgow. As are two of the favourite venues any happening music band at the lively Barrowlands and King Tut's Wah Wah Hut.
Culture in Glasgow is rich and varied, ranging from curling to opera and from football to art appreciation; it also has a large selection of museums that include those devoted to transport, religion, and modern art. The philisophy of the Glasgow Council is that everyone should be able to enjoy the arts and as such all the Museums and Galleries have free entry.
The Gallery of Modern Art surrounded by the street café's on Royal Exchange Square is the closest to the Merchant City Apartment. The City Halls and the Old Fruitmarket re-opened in 2006 are two of the best and closest venues to the Merchant City apartment. In 1882 the City Halls was the first hall suitable for large gatherings and concerts to be built in the City and played host to the likes of Benjamin Disraeli, Charles Dickens, Hungarian patriot Lajos Kossuth and William Gladstone.
The Old Fruitmarket directly adjoins the grand hall and was a functioning market until the 1970s. It is now a popular venue for many of Glasgow's Festivals, including Celtic Connections, Mayfest and the Jazz Festival.
The busiest pull in Glasgow though, is the buzz of the linked pedestrian shopping streets of Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street, Argylle Street. The Merchant City apartment sits within the chic of the Merchant City boutiques and adjacent to the pedestrian streets at Royal Exchange Square, Buchanan Street and Argyle Street.
