Glasgow

Another city rich in culture, Glasgow has a fun and bustling nightlife nestling cheek by jowl with some of the most gorgeous countryside in the world. You can explore the terrific shopping in boutiques and stores during the day and raise a glass with friends through the night. Or you can cycle, run or walk through numerous breathtaking gardens, parks and quiet trails. Along with world-class architecture, both ancient and modern, Glasgow has a teeming arts community, as well as popular sites like the Botanical Gardens, the People’s Palace, the Glasgow Cathedral and the Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour (a glimpse into the cramped life on board a sailing vessel will make you appreciate the upscale housing Continental Travelnurse insists on all the more). Glasgow is also conveniently located so you can explore nearby locations like the Orkney Islands, Leeds and the Yorkshire Dales.
