It is in the heart of Glasgow and therefore a must-visit when you are in the city. It boasts of 12 different statues of being associated with the city including Queen Victoria and Robbie Burns. The gorgeous town hall sits in the square, which is absolutely picture-worthy just like the Merchant’s House, home to Britain’s oldest chamber of commerce. The square is often full of locals and tourists, eating lunch, meeting for coffee or just strolling though. The weekly Barras Street Markets brings hundreds of vendors selling antiques, food, housewares and more.
