Alea Glasgow 3h4i6d

The Alea Casino is situated in central Glasgow overlooking the River Clyde on Springfield Quay and the architectural style of the building makes it resemble a large cruise liner. The Central Station is just a seven minute journey on public transport with the number 9 bus which goes every four minutes during the busiest hours, whilst alternatively there’s free parking at the casino. If you’re coming from further afield Glasgow has its own international airport which is roughly seven miles outside the city centre and also well served by public transport. 5c3e3f
