The main street but very impressive, there are new shops opened and there is a definite buzz around the area. Loads to do, shop, eat and drink.

Great area for shopping from the impressive Princes Square at the bottom of the street up to the Buchanan Galleries at the top of the street. Also the Royal Concert Hall is adjacent to the galleries.

Everything you want or need or like to shop for... under cover in this lovely Mall. In general the staff were friendly and helpful when they discovered that we were not from Glasgow!
