Glasgow Voted One of the UK’s Top Cities

 

Readers of Condé Nast Traveller have named Glasgow as one of their favourite cities in the UK at the publication’s eighth annual Readers’ Travel Awards.

 

At last night’s ceremony, Condé Nast Traveller readers voted London as the winner in the Best UK City category, with Glasgow being awarded second place, moving up from 8^th position in 2004.    

 

Councillor Alex Mosson, Chairman – Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “Everyone in Glasgow is thrilled that the city has been recognised by the readers of Condé Nast Traveller at this prestigious awards ceremony.

 

“To have gone from eighth place in 2004 to being category runner up shows the tangible progress we have already achieved in changing consumer perceptions since the launch of the Glasgow: Scotland with style city branding campaign in March 2004.”

 

 

Sarah Miller, Editor of Condé Nast Traveller, added: “I am delighted that readers of Condé Nast Traveller rate Glasgow so highly.  It is a very handsome city with some of the most exciting and stylish venues in the UK.

 

“It scored exceptionally highly for food as well as its culture and the friendliness of the people.  Everyone should visit this dynamic city!”

 

For the UK City category readers were asked to score on value-for-money, food, nightlife and entertainment, best range of accommodation, finest culture, cleanest streets, people and hospitality.

 

Condé Nast Traveller is seen as the essential guide to inspirational travel and the publication’s ‘truth in travel’ stance has been acclaimed by the industry, the media and its readers.
