You simply must visit The Gate, the biggest entertainment complex in town: Housing a cinema, restaurants and pubs, it is not to be missed! China Town is also just around the corner too, and so is the historic Blackfriars Monastery.

Haymarket, Barras Bridge

As the tour winds around the top of the city centre, it passes the monolithic 1960s Civic Centre building - count the seahorses on its tower. This stop is also the perfect place for shoppers to jump off, as it is the top of Northumberland Street - a shoppers paradise!
