Glasgow Tourist Information

Glasgow is a fascinating city with much t offer even the most blase and well travelled tourist. "Not only is a stay in Glasgow a highlight of any trip to Scotland, it's essential" (The Lonely Planet travel guide).

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?
