About this event

Join the West End Wander Glasgow Eurowalk to look at some of Glasgow’s current and historical links with mainland Europe.

Members of the Glasgow Loves EU group of the European Movement in Scotland will be leading the walk and will be pointing out some interesting highlights on an approximately one hour long walking tour of 3.5 km.

These walks will be a positive reminder of the positive and important links our city has had with other countries in Europe over the years and it is hoped that strong links can continue.

Countries which feature on this tour include Germany, Switzerland, France, Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Austria.

How strenuous will the walk be?

The walk will be at a steady walking pace but will involve an ascent up a few roads and will involve walking on and off pavements and we will be walking up and down some steps.

After the walk there will be  a chat about Glasgow’s European history at the Botanic Gardens if the weather is good enough to sit outside. You may be able to provide information about other links that could be added to Glasgow Eurowalks. Takeaway coffee/tea and food is usually available from a van in the Botanics and there are bathroom facilities there too.
