Glasgow's
clubbing scene
is highly rated, with the city attracting top DJs from around the world and also breeding a good deal of local talent. Opening hours hover between 11pm to 3am, though some stay open until 5am. Cover charges are variable: expect to pay around ?4 during the week and up to ?15 at the weekend. Drinks are usually about thirty percent more expensive than in the pubs.
Glasgow is home to Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and the city's cultural programme offers a breadth of
music
(from hip contemporary to heavyweight classical), plus
dance, theatre, film
and performance art. For detailed
listings
, pick up the comprehensive fortnightly magazine
The List
(?1.95), which also covers Edinburgh, or consult Glasgow's
Herald
or
Evening Times
