11/27/2004 The vibrant and busy city of Glasgow has never been more accessible to visitors from Ireland. Low cost flights and competitive ferry prices have enabled thousands of Irish travellers to rediscover this jewel of Scotland with Ireland travel. Once famed as being one of the worst cities in the UK, Glasgow has been transformed into a multicultural centre with one of the richest art collections in Europe. It has an amazing portfolio of more than 20 museums and galleries - many of them free - including the unique Burrell Collection, stunning Mackintosh House and cool and contemporary Gallery of Modern Art for Ireland travel. Anyone interested in cutting-edge design should head to The Lighthouse, while the Glasgow Science Centre's futuristic complex is sure to attract the kids both big and small. The IMAX, Science Mall, Glasgow Tower, Planetarium and Virtual Science Theatre will appeal to anyone interested in learning about technology and its applications in a fun and interesting environment from Ireland travel. Heritage seekers will enjoy the Museum of Transport, Museum of Scottish Country Life at Kittochside and Clydebuilt, which tells the story of Glasgow and the River Clyde from tobacco to shipbuilding. Now this is where we get serious. Lovers of the beautiful game, should head for the groundbreaking Scottish Football Museum at Hampden. Perhaps you're a clubber, concert-goer, opera aficionado, theatre lover or dance fan. For you, visiting Greater Glasgow & Clyde Valley is always an eventful experience. No matter when you arrive, you'll find live performances, festivals and entertainment 52 weeks of the year. Can't find what you need? Try a Google Web Search in the box below!
From now up until Christmas Eve, George Square in Glasgow city centre is transformed into a Manhattan-style skating rink for families to enjoy on Ireland travel while taking a break from the Christmas shopping. Skate or just sit back and watch while enjoying a hot chocolate or mulled wine in the cafe/bar or on the specially installed grandstand seating. There will also be themed evenings, ice discos and traditional carol singing. Further information from: www.glasgow-on-ice.co.uk One of the most popular venues in Glasgow is the city's Hogmanay party. Snow Patrol headline the biggest party of the year when 25,000 revellers descend on George Square to see in the New Year. The show begins at 8.30pm with a pipe band, followed by top DJs and young local bands Sound Development Agency and The Midden. Tickets priced at pounds 2.50 are available from by calling 0870 333 6205 or from www.scotland.ticketmaster.co.uk, for further details see: www.glasgowshogmanay.org.uk. Now with all the partying, visits to galleries and shopping completed, you'll need a great place to eat and a super hotel or two to dive under the covers to regain your energy on Ireland travel. A top tip for lovers of seafood is to visit Mussel Inn, situated in Hope Street. This super restaurant won the 'Spirit of Glasgow' Casual Dining Restaurant award in 2003. Specialising in top quality seafood, and in particular mussels, oysters and scallops, emphasis is placed on freshness and simplicity along with excellent service. With two of the partners being shellfish farmers, I can assure you the Mussel Inn is supplied with only the very best quality produce and serves an excellent meal. See: www.mussel-inn.com My base in Glasgow city centre was the Radisson hotel, which opened in November 2002 and is the newest of the international hotel chains in the city. The purpose-built, architecturally striking Radisson SAS is the ideal choice for either business or pleasure. Whether meeting friends in the atrium bar or sharing tapas in Ta Paell'Ya restaurant you will enjoy the city centre luxury, especially the heated bathroom floors. No visit to Glasgow on Ireland travel is complete without mentioning Charles Rennie Mackintosh. You'll see the works of Glasgow's greatest son in many forms around the city; private houses, public buildings and tea-rooms all reflect the genius of the man.

I like most of these pastimes, but I excel in living in the lap of luxury. Fortunately for me, I had this very opportunity when I checked into the amazing Mar Hall just 20 minutes from the city and 5 minutes from the airport when on Ireland travel. This 19th century Gothic mansion is a haven of peace and tranquillity set on the shores of the river Clyde. More than 50 lavishly designed bedrooms and suites offer the perfect environment to suit your mood. Mar Hall boasts the UK's first Aveda Spa Concept, offering 12 therapy rooms, hair salon, swimming pool and organic cafe - the perfect ingredients for total relaxation and de-stressing in wonderful surroundings.
