While Glasgow might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of natural beauty, the city has a quaint beauty that makes it a massive hit with locals and tourists the world over! Read our blog to see some of the must see sites when visiting our amazing city!
Museums & Art Galleries
The city’s collection of museums and art galleries are home to a treasure trove of artifacts and artworks sure to fascinate. The view of the permanent floating heads installation at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a great one to photograph as you choose which facial expression to focus on.
Glasgow Necropolis
A good place to head for great Summer city views is the top of Glasgow Necropolis. Watch the sunset on the longest day of the year over Glasgow Cathedral, the medieval birth place of the city.
Ashton Lane
For a cobbled lane with quaint haunts to visit, check out Ashton Lane, just off Byres Road. Enjoy al-fresco dining and drinks under a sparkling canopy of fairy lights or head inside to one of the many cosy bars.
Glasgow Tower
Glasgow Tower is the only structure on earth capable of rotating 360° into the prevailing wind and holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest fully rotating freestanding structure in the world. At 127 metres high — the equivalent of over 30 double-decker buses — Glasgow Tower is the tallest freestanding building in Scotland.
Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is a visitor centre, exhibition space and events venue in the heart of Glasgow. Located on Mitchell Lane just off Buchanan Street the Lighthouse acts as a beacon for the creative industries in Scotland and promotes design and architecture through a creative programme of exhibitions and events. The Lighthouse is housed in the former Glasgow Herald building, the first public commission completed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and is the perfect place to begin a Mackintosh tour of Glasgow. Our Mackintosh Interpretation Centre also charts the life and work of Mackintosh and allows access to the Mack Tower, providing unrivalled views of Glasgow.
