The place to go for vintage-lovers: these two rather compact lanes pack a punch with boutiques specialising in antiques, vintage clothing, rarities and collectables. There is a lot to browse through and plenty of eateries to choose from for a lunch break.
Shopping
Glasgow has three main shopping districts: the Merchant City, Buchanan Street, and the West End. The Merchant City’s beautiful old buildings now house street fashion shops, but also make room for luxury boutiques. The gigantic Buchanan Galleries and the pricey Princess Square are good for efficient shopping. West End is the place to go for those looking to shop around for artisan items in some of the local independent boutiques. One souvenir to be brought from Glasgow is a bottle of quality Scottish whisky.
