Visiting Glasgow

Glasgow - Scotland with Style

Glasgow is one of Europe’s most exciting destinations, which combines the energy and sophistication of a great international city with some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.

Culture

Glasgow is home to more than 20 world class museums and art galleries.  The city’s impressive portfolio includes the internationally renowned Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum - Scotland’s most visited free tourist attraction. With its eclectically arranged, eye-catching exhibits, Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum remains one of the largest and most popular museums in the UK.  The city’s famous Burrell Collection is also not to be missed and the Hunterian, attached to the 15th century University of Glasgow, is the oldest public museum in Scotland.

Glasgow's New Riverside Museum

Make sure you don’t miss Glasgow’s iconic new Riverside Museum, a breathtaking landmark building on the banks of the River Clyde - a fitting home for the city’s world-class transport collection.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Barcelona has Gaudí, Chicago has Frank Lloyd Wright – Glasgow has the Art Nouveau magic of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.  His innovative and influential style can be seen throughout the city, and includes The Glasgow School of Art. No visit is complete without experiencing his work.

Shopping

Glasgow is also a shopper’s paradise - the city’s Buchanan Street has recently been voted one of the world’s top 10 shopping streets.  Glasgow is home to shops to suit all styles from international high street stores to designer boutiques.
