Rooftop view over Glasgow city centre's Victorian buildings and spires under a sunset sky

Glasgow

Scotland's biggest city trades on Victorian grandeur, Mackintosh design, free world-class museums and the best live music scene in the UK. Friendly, loud and far less touristy than Edinburgh, an hour along the line.

Frequently asked questions

Is Glasgow worth visiting if I've already seen Edinburgh?
Yes — it's a different trip. Glasgow is about museums, architecture, food and music rather than castles, and most of its big museums are free.
How do you get around Glasgow?
The centre is walkable, and the Subway's single circular line links the city centre with the West End and Govan in minutes.
