Save on Accommodations
The train station is located right on Gordon Street and was built over the River Clyde originally, but the bridges have been adapted and extended over the years. A hotel near Glasgow Central is ideal for city breaks, as these station hotels are located within easy reach of the city centre.
It has gone through may changes over the last 100 years with underground additions and engineers fighting floods, and while it is now a state of the art central hub, and the easiest connections for UK and international tourists, it has retained many of the original features and ambiance right in the city centre.
