Getting around Glasgow is fairly easy, as they have an excellent subway system and plenty of buses that can take you where you want to go.

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Glasgow, along with a brief description:
♦ George Square
When spending time in Glasgow, a good starting point for exploring is George Square. The main civic square in the city, you will discover yourself surrounded by breathtaking architecture, prominent government buildings, and multiple important monuments. Among some of the notable buildings in this area are the General Post Office, the Tourist Information Centre, and the former Bank of Scotland building. George Square is also the host of many concerts, ceremonies, light shows and political events, dating all the way back to the 1919 Battle of George Square.
♦ Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
One of the most highly-rated museums in Glasgow is the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Discover 22 galleries with exhibits on European and Renaissance art (including the painting Christ of Saint John of the Cross by Dali), ancient Egyptian artifacts, European jewelry, preserved animals, pipe organ recitals, and much more. There are also many temporary exhibits, so if you plan on visiting, it’s best to see what’s scheduled for when you’ll be there. Best of all, admission to this museum is free, so you’ll never have to worry about budgeting to see these fascinating displays (subject to change).
♦ Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel
Another top-rated (and rather unique) museum in Glasgow is the Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel. This innovative museum specializes in antique vehicles and groundbreaking hands-on exhibits. Discover over 3,000 modes of transportation from skateboards to trains and everything in between. Interactive displays allow you to explore the streets of Glasgow without going far, where you can even board old school buses and trains, before learning about the city’s shipbuilding history and then becoming a member of the fire department at the interactive fire truck. This is a great activity for young kids who love to get involved with hands-on learning, but it’s perfect for travelers of all ages and interests, too!
