Glasgow Visitor Information
Easy to get around and navigate, the largest city in Scotland is brimming with architectural brilliance. Glasgow is a sightseer’s paradise with very good shopping opportunities too.
Places to visit while here should include Argyle and Buchanan Streets in the City Centre for busy pedestrianised streets and grand Victorian shopping facades. Art lovers should head over to the Glasgow School of Art redesigned by its famous former pupil, Art Nouveau genius, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Glasgow's Cathedral dominating the medieval district has been standing since the thirteenth century and is worth a photo opportunity or two. To contrast, visit Baird Hall just across the way for its stunning Art Deco architecture.
Glasgow's University can be found in the heart of the West End. The university over the years has had an influence over the area with campus life bearing a positive effect over local activities and goings on. Here, you will find plenty of cheap and funky reasonable coffee shops and restaurants and a busy nightlife.
