Glasgow Travel and Tourism
Glasgow Tourist Information
Glasgow is a fascinating city with much to fascinate even the most blase and far travelled tourist. Neil Wilson and Alan Murphy, who wrote the Lonely Planet's latest guide to Scotland, point out that: "Not only is a stay in Glasgow a highlight of any trip to Scotland, it's essential". I would completely endorse that statement, although it's likely the lads have seen a lot more of Scotland than me.
If you are heading towards Europe you should try to include a trip to Glasgow in your itinerary and take in some of the architectural delights, the vast array of shops, the stylish restaurants,and the many galleries, including the wonderful Kelvingrove now even more wonderful than ever after a major refurbishment.
Lonely Planet have endeared themselves even further to Glasgow's good citizens, town planners and the tourism industry by including Glasgow in 'The Cities Book', where it is shown among the world's top 200 cities at No 106. The book describes one of the defining experiences of a visit to the City as 'Brunching in the West End's finest cafes' and 'picknicking in Kelvingrove'. Well, who's gonna argue with the experts?
