Glasgow: a cultural city of music, architecture and football

The friendliest people live in Glasgow. Cliché or fact? Find out for yourself: Scotland's largest city is home to magnificent Victorian buildings alongside the raw architecture of the industrial era. Along the River Clyde, numerous parks provide green contrasts to the urban backdrop. The locals are proud of ‘Glesga’ and are usually happy to share their knowledge: whether it's tips on the best haggis, live music in pubs or which whisky distillery is a must-see.

Whether you're holidaying in Scotland or ‘just’ planning a weekend trip, Glasgow has plenty to offer even on rainy days: how about a match at Celtic Park football stadium, a stroll through the designer boutiques of Finnieston and art at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery? In the evening, people meet up in Ashton Lane. Glasgow is an ideal starting point for a tour of the Scottish Highlands and can be combined wonderfully with a detour to Edinburgh.
