London February 2010: From the cosmopolitan buzz of the bohemian West End to the fresh new waterfront development overlooking the flowing River Clyde, Glasgow is a fabulous choice for an fun-packed city-break. Showcasing some of Scotland's finest countryside with its stunning Lochs and crumbling cliffs, dynamic Glasgow combines historic urban beauty with idyllic highland scenery. With direct flights to Glasgow from London Heathrow with bmi, there's no better time to book.

With an eclectic mix of designer boutiques and famous high-street names, shopping in Glasgow is hard to beat. Pay a visit to the modern Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow's newest shopping complex.

With excellent transport links and parking facilities, it's a one-stop shopping paradise. Take a stroll down the beautiful Parisian-style Argyll Arcade, offering a vast array of antique and contemporary rings, watches and diamonds. Built in 1827 by John Baird, this famous glass-roofed mall is one of the oldest in Europe. Pick up a bargain at the historic Barras. Full of character, this bustling outdoor marketplace has everything you need, and more! If you're after something a little more unusual then a trip to the quaint De Courcy's Antique Craft Arcade certainly won't disappoint. Located in the hip West End area of the city, it's full of vintage and retro treasures as well as stylish craft shops and trendy independent boutiques.
