You’ve probably walked around Glasgow Giants streets and felt its pulse. The city of Glasgow is a living entity that has a rich history. Glasgow is full of treasures for any lover of a good yarn. From ancient stone constructions to modern architectural marvels.
Let’s start off with the iconic Glasgow Cathedral. Built in the early 12th century, it is a gothic masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Imagine monks wandering the grounds of this monastery hundreds of years before. If you pay attention, it’s possible to almost hear them chanting. The cathedral’s bricks and stone are not only a monument to history, but a snapshot of it frozen in time.
Now let’s change gears and move to something that is more modern: football. If there is one thing Glaswegians love, it’s football clubs. Celtic and Rangers have become institutions. Match days are electric. Imagine yourself in the middle of a sea, surrounded by green or navy scarves. The chants from fans echoing throughout the streets. Here it is not just about sport. It is also a form of religion.
You’re not done yet! Let’s not forget culture! Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum – another jewel in Glasgow. This museum houses Dali’s “Christ of Saint John of the Cross” as well as ancient Egyptian artifacts. It is like entering different worlds. It’s free entry! Free entry! Talk about getting bang for your buck.
Would you like to listen to some music? Where legends are created, head to King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Oasis actually got signed at this venue. It is small but mighty. The intimate gigs make you feel like a part.
Ashton Lane makes for a lovely stroll. It’s as if you stepped into a romantic scene. Grab a beer at one of many cozy pubs and catch an indie movie at Grosvenor Cinema.
Are you still hungry? Glasgow knows food, and it’s delicious! The haggis (yes! Try it!) is one of the most traditional dishes in Glasgow. The international cuisine will knock your socks off. We have something for everyone. Ever tried deep-fried Mars bars? It might sound weird, but believe me, it’s a unique experience!
The Lighthouse is Scotland’s Centre for Design and Architecture. Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s own building offers panoramic city views from the tower. Although the spiral stairs may leave you breathless it is definitely worth it.
Buchanan Street is the perfect place for those who love shopping! The Style Mile has everything you need to find that perfect gift, souvenir or souvenir.
Glasgow Green has something for everyone who loves nature and urban life. One of Britain’s oldest parks with lush landscapes suitable for picnics as well as leisurely walks on the River Clyde.
George Square has a lot of activity all the time, and is surrounded by beautiful historic buildings. Every glance makes you feel like you’re in a postcard.
In essence (oops! It’s all about the experience.
