Shopping in Glasgow

  1. A

    Barras on Gallowgate

    Glasgow’s flea market, the Barras on Gallowgate, is the living, breathing heart of this city in many respects. It has almost a thousand stalls and people come here just for a wander as much as for shopping, which gives the place a holiday air. The Barras is notorious for designer frauds, so be cautious. Watch your wallet, too.

    Princes Square Shopping Centre

    In a lovingly restored listed building dating back to 1841, Princes Square is the shopping centre for those who like a touch of class with their retail experience. Posh boutiques, jewellery stores and speciality shops are spread over five levels; then, when you're all shopped out, you can take refuge in one of the trendy restaurants or bars.

    Armani

    Designer of choice to Hollywood's richest and most beautiful, favourite of magazine style editors around the world, and all-round Italian design legend, Giorgio Armani's only Scottish Emporio is, appropriately enough, located in Glasgow's upmarket Italian Centre. Go on, splash out - you're on holiday!
