Oran Mor Brasserie & Conservatory
This temple to Scottish dining and drinking is a superb venue in an old church. Giving new meaning to the word 'conversion', the brasserie pumps out high-quality meals in a dark, Mackintosh-inspired space. There are also cheaper bistro-style meals, such as Cullen skink (soup made with smoked haddock, potato, onion and milk) or vegetarian haggis served with Arran mustard sauce, and more relaxed dining in the conservatory, adjoining the main bar .

Tenement House
For an extraordinary time-capsule experience, visit the small apartment in the Tenement House. It gives an insight into middle-class city life in the late 19th/early 20th century, with box-beds, the original kitchen range and all the fixtures and fittings of the family who lived here for over 50 years.

Wee Curry Shop
Some of the best home-cooked curries you're likely to taste outside India can be found here. You'd be wise to book, it's a snug place with a big reputation, a limited menu and a sensational value three-course lunch. There's another Wee Curry, upstairs at Jinty McGuintys at the West End. The curries here are exceptional and a window seat gives you people-watching potential over Ashton Lane.

Glasgow Dental Hospital
Café Gandolfi
In the fashionable Merchant City, this cafe was once part of the old cheese-market. It's been pulling in the punters for years, and packs an interesting clientele: die-hard Gandolfers, the upwardly mobile and tourists. It's an excellent, friendly bistro and upmarket coffee shop - very much the place to be seen. Book a Tim Stead-designed, medieval-looking table in advance for well-prepared Scottish and Continental food.

Corinthian
A breathtaking domed ceiling and majestic chandeliers make Corinthian an awesome venue. Originally a bank and later Glasgow's High Court, this regal building also houses a plush club downstairs in old court cells, which pumps out funk and club classics on Saturday nights. The late-night piano bar, restaurant and 'Lite Bar' are open seven days. Dress code is smart-casual, but don't wear your best shirt as cheap cocktails flow all week.

Scottish Football Museum
Football fans will just love the Scottish Football Museum, which features exhibits on the history of the game in Scotland and the influence of Scots on the world game. Football inspires an incredible passion in Scotland and the museum is crammed full of impressive memorabilia, including a cap and match ticket from the very first international football game (which took place in 1872 between Scotland and England, and ended with a score of 0-0).

St Mungo's Museum of Religious Life & Art
A startling achievement, St Mungo's Museum is an audacious attempt to capture the world's major religions in an artistic nutshell. The attraction is twofold: firstly, impressive art that blurs the lines between religion and culture; and secondly the opportunity to delve into different faiths, an experience that can be as deep or shallow as you wish.

One Devonshire Gardens
Ok, so you're George Clooney, you've just arrived in Glasgow, you need digs and money's no object - where do you stay? One Devonshire Gardens of course. The favoured hotel for the rich and famous and the patriarch of sophistication and comfort, this is the top place to stay in Glasgow - and possibly the country.

Glasgow School of Art
Mackintosh's greatest building, the Glasgow School of Art, still houses the educational institution. It's hard not to be impressed by the precision of the design; the architect's pencil seems to have shaped everything inside and outside the building. The interior design is strikingly austere, and the library, designed as an addition in 1907, is a masterpiece.

Uisge Beatha
If you enjoy a drink among dead things, you'll love Uisge Beatha (Gaelic for whisky, literally 'water of life'). This mishmash of church pews, stuffed animal heads and portraits of depressed nobility (the Maggie mannequin is our favourite) is patrolled by Andy Capp-like characters during the day and students at night. With 100 whiskies and four quirky rooms to choose from, this unique pub is one of Glasgow's best - an antidote to style bars.

Tall Ship & Pumphouse
Launched in December 1896, the magnificent Tall Ship Glenlee is one of just five sailing ships built on the Clyde that is still afloat. The sheer size of this three-masted ship is impressive and there are displays about her history, restoration and life on board in the early 20th century.

Drum & Monkey
Jazz fans can get their fix on Sunday afternoon; the rest of the week jazz records accompany the dark wood and marble columns of this attractive drinking emporium, peppered with church pews and leather lounge chairs. Its cosy and relaxing vibe makes you want to curl up in an armchair with a pint for the afternoon.

Burrell Collection
Amassed by wealthy industrialist Sir William Burrell before being donated to the city, it is housed in an outstanding museum, 3 miles south of the city centre. This idiosyncratic collection of treasure includes everything from Chinese porcelain and medieval furniture to paintings by Renoir and Cézanne. It's not so big as to be overwhelming, and the stamp of the collector lends an intriguing coherence.

Armani
Designer of choice to Hollywood's richest and most beautiful, favourite of magazine style editors around the world, and all-round Italian design legend, Giorgio Armani's only Scottish Emporio is, appropriately enough, located in Glasgow's upmarket Italian Centre. Go on, splash out - you're on holiday!

Willow Tea Rooms
This deliciously elegant eatery with its high-backed chairs and delicate colours was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1903. Diners come for the world-famous design - even the teaspoons were given his distinctive touch - as well as the genteel tearoom fare on offer. Avoid the queues by arriving at opening time, and splash out on a superior breakfast of smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and toast.

Alamo Guest House
Kelvingrove Park is one of Glasgow's prime green attractions and you can wander the meandering River Kelvin from here through to the botanic gardens in the West End. Oozing warmth and sumptuous living, the Alamo sits in a leafy residential area scraping the southern extremes of the park.

Cathedral House Hotel
Smack-bang in the heart of the leafy, dignified East End is this unique property. A 19th-century Scottish baronial-style hotel, complete with turrets and eight individual and beautifully furnished rooms, it's hotels like this (an antithesis to chain hotels) that give Glasgow such an edge.
