World Class Attractions
Whether you love modern art or science, international or local history, Glasgow has world-class museums that attract thousands of people each year. Some of the most popular include Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, The Burrell Collection, Britannia Panopticon, Glasgow Science Centre, and Riverside Museum to name a few.
Glasgow Architecture
You just need to walk around to be amazed by Glasgow’s architecture. Look above street level and admire the wonders of the city’s architecture at beautiful buildings like the neo-Gothic University of Glasgow to the Art Nouveau wonders of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Other remarkable designs include City Hall, George Square, People’s Palace, Winter Gardens and more.
Glasgow’s Street Art
As well as magnificent architecture, the streets are illuminated by countless street artworks which brighten up even the dullest corners. The city is essentially an open-air gallery with some pieces lasting longer than others due to construction but they are constantly being renewed. There are mural trail maps so you can enjoy a self-guided mural walking tour at your leisure.
Glasgow’s Food Scene
Glasgow has one of the most vibrant and exciting foodie scenes in the UK. Glasgow is known for its mix of cool, quality and affordable venues with something to suit all tastes and budgets. From brunch to afternoon tea, street food to Michelin star dining Glasgow has everything you could hope for! Local Scottish produce is second to none and we recommend trying a traditional Scottish recipe while you’re here.
Events in Glasgow
Glasgow has it all when it comes to entertainment. There is a legendary music scene with excellent venues like Barrowland Ballroom, OVO Hydro, King Tut’s, Glasgow Concert Hall, O2 Academy Glasgow and dozens of others. The city is an UNESCO City of Music with an exciting calendar of world-class festivals and events.
Parks in Glasgow
The word Glasgow means ‘Dear Green Place’ in Gaelic, and with over 90 parks and gardens to enjoy you’ll understand why! Visit Pollok Country Park and its herd of Highland cattle or Queen’s Park’s beautiful southside viewpoint. Head West to Kelvingrove Park or Glasgow Botanic Gardens, known for its impressive glasshouses and tropical plant collections. There is always something to see in the parks of Glasgow.
Glasgow’s Neighbourhoods
Glasgow is a compact and walkable city but small does not mean boring. Being walkable means you can explore more than one neighbourhood in a day. Enjoy the historic east end or the urban playground of the North – you can explore at your leisure. From the busy city centre to the laid-back vibes of the West End, it would be a shame to miss something unique by staying in place.
