Explore Paisley

The town sits on the edge of the Gleniffer Braes and by the side of the River Cart. It is a great place for those who like spending time in the outdoors, with breathtaking views to be found away from the main town. Glasgow City Centre is only seven miles away, making car hire a very attractive option, as tourists get to visit Glasgow's Museum, exhibiting many interesting insights to the history of Scotland.

The town is home to a vast variety of architectural styles and conservation areas which are easily toured by car or on foot. Travel to the southwest of the town to find Castlehead, which boasts the Victorian villas of the leading industrialists of the 19th century.

Just north of the town is another conservation area which houses the Coats Observatory, the High Kirk and the former John Neilson Institute. Thornly Park to the south is packed with a strange mixture of mock Tudor and Art Deco buildings that you would struggle to find side-by-side anywhere else.

Those craving a bit of retail therapy can take their hire car to the recently converted Piazza shopping centre. This huge complex spans the White Cart Water area and provides outlets for most well-known British brands.
