Glasgow

Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, has an energetic vibe and a wealth of historic landmarks. Whether it's museums, galleries, shopping, dining or world-class art this city has it. Standouts among the city's museums are the recently refurbished Burrell Collection in Pollok Country Park, the Gallery of Modern Art and the award-winning Riverside Museum, which houses the city’s vast transport collection.

The checkerboard layout makes the city easy to navigate and there is a subway and a bike-hire scheme. To make life easier for visitors there are also several easy-to-follow themed trails, including a city-centre mural trail, a Charles Rennie Mackintosh trail and a contemporary art trail.

Plenty of bars in Glasgow offer free live music and the city is not short on street entertainment, particularly in the summer months.
