Welcome to the Merchant City, Glasgow


Merchant City Tourism & Marketing Co-operative Ltd is a local enterprise initiative company supported by funds from Scottish Enterprise, Visit Scotland and local businesses in the neighbourhood of Glasgow's Merchant City. 

Glasgow's historic and ancient heart THE MERCHANT CITY is seconds from the bustle of Glasgow’s busy shopping precincts, Buchanan Street and Argyle Street.  An oasis of stately architecture, it offers laid back shopping, dining and cultural pursuits. High heels or trainers will be equally happy treading the wide pavements following one of our walking guides or simply enjoying a stroll under the celestial sky of Royal Exchange Square.

One of the oldest quarters of Glasgow and the cultural heart of the city, the area is characterised by buzzing bars, luxury apartments, tenement flats, award winning restaurants, design shops and artist galleries. Each street offers a variety of interests for every pocket and taste, whether you are looking for a unique piece of art, an antique plate, a bowl of borsch, a decaf skinny latte, a diamond ring, a tattoo, a night of comedy or an evening savouring classical music, you’ll find it all here.
