Way back in the 17th century, Merchant City was nothing more than a warehouse for many a wealthy trader. It bustled in a different sense, compared to what it is known for today. If you were to visit the same path today, you’d be spellbound by the galleries, restaurants, bars, and boutiques that dot the way. Its pinnacle event of the year is the Merchant City Festival — that is when the roads burst with circus shows, food, and drinks, eclectic music and dances too. Some favorites among tourist include The Corinthian Club, the Glasgow Police Museum and the Sharmanka Kinetic Theater. Merchant City is certainly worthy of your tourist visit, and while you’re there you’d definitely be comfier at one of these Airbnb vacation rentals.
