Fun-loving & Forward-thinking
Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow combines Victorian architecture and a vibrant arts scene. A former European City of Culture, it is home to many national organizations including the Scottish Ballet and the National Theatre of Scotland. The museums are also world-class. Don't miss the futuristic Glasgow Science Centre and the eclectic exhibits at the Kelvingrove.
Lined with Georgian buildings, George Square is the city’s focal point and the spot for Glasgow Hogmanay celebrations. Fanning out from here are streets housing venues for the city’s main love: music. From classical concerts to up-and-coming bands, there's something for everybody.
As host of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Glasgow is also a city of sports. Scotland’s 2 iconic soccer clubs - Celtic and Rangers - are based here, as is the national soccer stadium, Hampden Park. The Scottish Football Museum is also an excellent walk through the beautiful game.
Last but not least is the shopping in Glasgow. Shopping centers cover everything from name brands to international designers. So when you fly into Glasgow Airport, make sure you've left enough space in your bags!

Our favorite part was visiting the Kelvingrove and then walking through the park and along the River Kelvin path to the Botanic Gardens. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and it felt like all of Glasgow was out enjoying the weather.
We also enjoyed the intimate Easter evensong at Glasgow Cathedral, with fewer than 50 people in the building.

Love Glasgow.
Love Glasgow. Real working city, full of street life, great shops snd monuments. Yet just an hour away from the highlands and lochs. The Glaswegians themselves are the real stars!
I was just passing through and know it well but decided to do the open bus trip from the main square... takes you too parts you might not go. Loved the Kelvin gallery with brewdog pub selling Scottish craft beers across the road. Glasgow green People's museum is brilliant too! You can walk back to your he centre through the park and sling the river.. Great Thai meal in the Lemon grass restaurant, 24 renfrew street. Botanical gardens are also lovely. Don't miss walking down to the Clyde ... heart of the city!

A nice city with even nicer people, which was both surprising and refreshing. I had been there some twenty years ago but I did not capture the spirit of the city like this time around. I went for a sort of "McIntosh Tour" which was in some ways disappointing, as not a lot remains from the work of this great architect (his house was demolished, the School of Modern Arts was destroyed by fire in 2014). It was interesting nonetheless but it is simply walking down the streets that gives you the right buzz. It is just a pity that i did not have enough time to see the riverside but I was there mainly to attend Bob Dylan's concert (May 7th, 2017), so my time in Glasgow was limited. A trip to Celtic's and Rangers' stadia would also have been attractive for me
“Love this hotel. It has all the basic that we need. We stayed in studio apartment with complete kitchen utensils. And the room is well heated. Carpeted. Toilet is spacious and heated. It's just perfect.Location is adjacent to central of Glasgow.”
“This hotel is in a perfect spot for tourists, right next to George Square. I stayed in a windowless single room, which was small but comfortable, and a good value for a city like Glasgow. The furnishings are modern and my little room had everything I needed. The TV had the greatest selection of channels of any TV I had on a 3-week trip! The staff was all very nice, and they have free wine and cheese every night in the lobby from 5-8.”
“Locations - very close to Central Rail station in Glasgow. Outside of hotel looks medieval, with turret containing stairway. Evening staff person was helpful in some ways.”
“I have stayed at Hotel Kelvin in Glasgow for 52 years since 1964, because it suits my requirements in all ways. The hotel is also located in a historic sandstone terrace of great note.”
“Location was close to the subway so that we could easily commute back and forth to Glasgow. Hotel was sleek and modern. Room was a nice size and clean and comfortable. Great value for the money! Would stay here again when coming to Glasgow.”
