Princes Square, Glasgow

Princes Square is a striking blend of historic architecture and modern design, making it one of the city鈥檚 most stylish shopping and leisure destinations. Originally built in 1841 as a merchants鈥� warehouse, the building was transformed in the 1980s into a luxury shopping centre. Its developers preserved the elegant sandstone exterior while adding a dramatic five-story interior atrium crowned with a glass roof, which floods the space with natural light.

Inside, visitors will find a curated selection of boutiques, designer stores, and specialty shops that go beyond ordinary retail. International fashion labels stand alongside independent outlets, offering everything from clothing and accessories to gifts and homeware. Art and design are central to the experience too, with unique decorative features and installations enhancing the atmosphere. Whether browsing high-end fashion or picking up a distinctive keepsake, Princes Square offers a refined shopping environment in the heart of the city centre.

Beyond shopping, Princes Square is also known for its diverse dining options. Restaurants, caf茅s, and bars are spread across the floors, ranging from casual bites to elegant dining experiences. The central courtyard often serves as a social hub, inviting visitors to linger over coffee or enjoy a lively evening atmosphere. This mix of retail, food, and art makes Princes Square more than just a shopping centre鈥攊t鈥檚 a cultural meeting place that reflects Glasgow鈥檚 vibrant urban character.

For tourists, Princes Square is as much about the experience as the purchases. The combination of historic architecture, modern design, and stylish ambiance makes it a destination in itself.
