Central Glasgow
In downtown
The historic centre is a medley of architectural styles. Gaze upon the Italianate city hall on George Square, then head to Little Italy to chomp on top-notch pizza. Spot Doric columns and Palladian windows while bar-hopping in the Merchant City area. Then sip on a cuppa at the Art Nouveau Willow Tea Rooms, designed by Charles Mackintosh himself.

North West
1.3 miles from downtown
Glasgow University lends this area a youthful, bohemian vibe. Fresh-faced whippersnappers wander its illustrious campus, and kooky art lovers browse Kelvingrove Park’s galleries. Stop off in a student bar on Ashton Lane – this quaint, cobbled street is the perfect place to debate the Glasgow School’s contribution to Art Nouveau into the wee hours.
Places to stay from $25 a night
South
1.8 miles from downtown
A green belt of possibilities. Among the gardens of Pollok Park lies a gallery with paintings by El Greco and Goya. Then there’s the Burrell Collection – it displays Chinese art in a quiet woodland setting. In Queen’s Park, go “quackers” for duck ponds and nature walks. Or, trace the history of Scottish “fitba” (football) at Hampden Park stadium.
Places to stay from $30 a night
East End
1.6 miles from downtown
The East End’s gritty yet charming. Head to Barras Market for classic Glaswegian shopping. Its independent traders sell everything from antiques to kilts. Pop into the Blue Lagoon chip shop to taste a deep-fried Mars bar (at your own risk!). Wash it down with a pint among raucous Celtic FC fans – their green-and-white pubs line Gallowgate Street.
Places to stay from $66 a night
Glasgow—named European Capital of Culture of 1990—combines beautiful architecture with a thriving arts scene. Visitors will never run out of fun things to do, from exploring the Georgian buildings of George Square to going on a shopping spree down the "Style Mile."
Scotland’s largest city is also home to several famous museums. Find inspiration at the avant-garde Glasgow Science Centre on the banks of the River Clyde, or the iconic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, where you’ll find everything from dinosaur fossils to Dutch masterpieces. Meanwhile, the award-winning Riverside Museum showcases the city’s transportation and shipbuilding heritage.
Stylish cafes and cozy restaurants line Glasgow’s renovated riverfront, while its architectural legacy is preserved in the Victorian designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The innovator's work can be found throughout the city, from the central Lighthouse to the Hunterian Art Gallery, which recreates the famous architect’s home in striking detail.
Nowadays the city’s main creative outlet is music. Catch a gig at any one of the countless spots, from the world’s oldest surviving music hall to the venue that launched the career of Oasis.
Glasgow also makes a great base for exploring the surrounding natural landscape. Loch Lomond on the lowlands border is about a 30-min drive away, leaving you right at the edge of the lush, vast Highlands.

Glasgow is a wonderful city, full of culture, art, spectacular buildings and many attractions for young and old. Many people travel to Edinburgh for their taste of Scotland but, although Edinburgh is a beautiful City, it’s not Glasgow😉

It's a quiet place with good shopping areas that are all walking distance. Restaurants are also cross-cultural, so you can explore different cuisines. I loved how the locations are close to each other - you can take leisure time in going around and still be on time for your next bus or train schedule.
The people are so friendly!

The people are so friendly! Even though the weather might be a bit bad (windy and rainy), the people make up for it! They have nice parks and nature, as well as pretty architecture. I was only there for three days, but I would love to come back and explore more. I have celiac disease which often makes traveling hard, but I had no problem finding gluten-free options in Glasgow.

The city of Glasgow has it's own charm, also with the location of the place you feel like being in the centre of all the action. The city centre is just a few minutes walk away and you get to enjoy most of the iconic places which are a must visit in Glasgow. The public transport is awesome with both the buses and subway starting early and operational till midnight. If you have a train ticket there's a free bus service from the station to city centre or even the Buchanan bus station. There's lots of nice pubs and eateries along with most popular fast food joints close by as per your taste to enjoy the world cuisine. But we wanted to enjoy simple food so preferred eating in the apart hotel itself with the kitchen being fully loaded by us before hand. The weather was a bit spoiler with rain and wind affecting the outdoor trips, so it helped to be staying in apart hotel with kitchen facilities. But it was a great Easter holidays break for the children. The trip to Highlands is one hour closer from Glasgow than Edinburgh which is comparatively a bit on the costly side too.

The center is pretty busy and noisy, not really cycle friendly, further out it is quiet, peaceful, lots of nature, cycle tracks, walks etc architecture is amazing everywhere you look ! Shops and restaurants are good but expensive never the less, products are quality, bring plenty money!
