The latest edition of the Lonely Planet Scotland guide to hit bookshops advises readers that: “Glasgow is regenerating and evolving at a dizzying pace” and is “edgy, modish and downright ballsy.”
On page 119 of the new guide, it cites Glasgow’s ‘cutting-edge style bars’, ‘world-class venues’, ‘hedonistic club culture’ & ‘live-music scene’ as well as Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the city’s architecture and new seaplane service as major highlights for visitors.
It goes on to urge readers to: “Throw off the shackles of urban restraint and immerse yourself in a down-to-earth metropolis that is all about fun.”
Commenting on the launch of the new guide, Scott Taylor, Chief Executive - Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “The new Lonely Planet Scotland guide provides a fantastic snapshot of Glasgow, which is one of a stylish destination that is absolutely top of its game.”
“Lonely Planet’s independent and objective assessment supports the city’s credentials as Glasgow: Scotland with style.”
