Culture & History
Glasgow's architecture is world-famous, and there's a lot to be gained from wandering around and taking in the variety of design influences.
Glasgow was named the UK's top cultural and creative city in 2019, and it's easy to see why!
The city's striking architecture is particularly special, and the range of museums and galleries is truly impressive. There are hundreds of things to keep visitors busy during the day, both indoors and outdoors, and it's all topped off with an incredible music scene and buzzing nightlife.
Located on the river Clyde, Glasgow is Scotland's second city, the largest sea port and the fifth most visited city in the UK. The city welcomes almost a million visitors annually, drawn to its architecture, museums, galleries and music venues and welcomed by the wonderfully friendly collection of people who live in Glasgow.
Glasgow's rich history tells the story of a city that's been a religious, cultural, industrial and trading hub for centuries. The city's present is no less exciting - it's the starting point for many a journey across Scotland, and it's well worth exploring the city properly.
