Things to do in Glasgow

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the “old fashioned house” and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again. We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

This is simply a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, and there were almost no people on the road. Only the ancient buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which made people feel awe. [Scenery]

There are many hidden gardens to explore.

Glasgow Cathedral is one of Scotland’s most remarkable historic landmarks and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The cathedral’s impressive Gothic design, stunning stained-glass windows, and peaceful atmosphere make it a fascinating place to explore. Walking through its ancient halls offers a glimpse into centuries of Scottish history and religious heritage. I was particularly impressed by the intricate stonework and the beautiful crypt beneath the cathedral. Located near the city center, it provides a quiet contrast to Glasgow’s vibrant urban life. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, or culture, Glasgow Cathedral is a must-visit attraction in Scotland.

The food in the museum is not cheap. The Riverside Museum is a building near a church. The shape of the whole museum is very special.

Absolutely fabulous attraction in the heart of Glasgow's West End. The surrounding grounds are lushly verdant, a lovely wee coffee stall. Benches around the to soak of the fresh air & admire the beautiful gardens. A must see is Kibble Palace in the grounds with more tropical plants & fish and stunning sculptures under a beautiful glass roof.

The magnificent castle embodies the history, culture, and glory of Scotland. The visitor pathways and signage were well-organized, and there was even an audio guide in Mandarin, which allowed tourists like us who don't speak English to gain a deeper understanding of the castle. The staff at the visitor center were warm and attentive, and the police officers in the square outside the castle were friendly and responsible, helping me find my lost wife.

The large fountain in front of the People's Palace is comparable to the fountain in Edinburgh. The architectural style itself is quite distinctive and is now also used as a museum.

The night view of the City Hall and the square in front of it. The whole building looks crystal clear under the light, reflecting the lights of the square. The street in front of the door is also shining.
