Glasgow In-A-Day

A day out in Scotland's biggest city

Ecosse 2013 281

Finding and wandering Glasgow's key shopping streets is easy enough and the people-watching often great, but you won't stumble upon many of the city's key sights there. Most are a little outside the centre, so be prepared to use Glasgow's underground to make the most of your day.

Glasgow Overview

This itinerary links Glasgow's big sights and, since they're relatively spread out, also ends up providing a good introduction to the city. It starts a little outside central Glasgow at its premier museum, the Kelvingrove. It's a 10 minute walk from Kelvinhall underground stop.
