Glasgow

Glasgow: Scotland’s second city and home to some of its most spectacular arts and cultural venues, nightlife and sporting facilities. Just a glance at a program of events hosted in the city on an average day reveals why so many people make Glasgow their first choice for a city break in the UK.

Glasgow boasts a dazzling array of museums of art galleries, not least the famous Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). The GOMA building itself is well worth seeing, with an imposing 18th Century façade that stands in direct contrast to the accessibility of the art works found inside. Amongst the permanent collections here are the works of various Turner Prize winners and numerous artists of international renown.

Glasgow Harbour is home to another of the city’s major attractions: The Tall Ship. This museum of the city’s maritime history is the place to find the barque Glenlee, one of only five Clydebuilt ships remaining in the world (and the only one in the UK).

Glasgow boasts a wide variety of city hotels, cheap accommodation and discount hotels, catering for its huge numbers of visitors. Alongside all the major UK hotel chains, there are also unique and more upmarket hotels, and plenty of city hotel accommodation for those with children or accessibility issues.
