Acclaimed for its stunningly breathtaking architecture, Glasgow justifiably received the accolade for UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999, a year when many new and innovative buildings were completed to add a new dimension to the city's charming cityscape and riverside. Take a stroll along the banks of the River Clyde heading westwards from the city centre and you will notice remarkable changes to this former shipbuilding centre. The Clyde Auditorium and the Glasgow Science Centre are fine examples of the transformation to the riverside and are one of Glasgow's leading photogenic landmarks. At the other end of the echelon, traces of Glasgow's medieval past can be identified at Glasgow Cathedral and Glasgow Cross, the oldest quarter of the city. A perfect way to complete a day of exploring Glasgow's cultural treasures, retail emporiums and exquisite architecture is to enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants and eateries in town or in the West End. Glasgow has received awards for its culinary excellence, including British Curry Capital of the Year which it frequently wins. From Indian and Thai to contemporary European and traditional Scottish, Glasgow boasts an excellent provision of good restaurants that serve mouth-watering dishes from all corners of the globe.
