Glasgow Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

Take a trip to Glasgow on your Scotland vacation.

Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, resting on the banks of the River Clyde, owns a storied past as an industrial powerhouse that seamlessly evolved into a thriving hub of commerce, culture, and tourism. This dynamic city has earned accolades as the European City of Culture (1990), City of Architecture and Design (1999), Capital of Sport (2003), and took the world stage as the host of the Commonwealth Games in 2004. Glasgow's architectural prowess shines with an array of Victorian grandeur and the masterpieces of revered architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. 

The city has two primary regions: the City Centre, home to many tourist attractions like the Glasgow Cathedral, City Chambers, and an array of shopping and entertainment options, and the West End, a neighbourhood of cozy cafes, trendy restaurants, and lively bars surrounding the University of Glasgow and the Kelvingrove Museum. 

Venturing west of the city centre will take you to the rejuvenated River Clyde area, where you'll find architectural gems like the Clyde Auditorium, the Science Centre, and the Riverside Museum. 

Step into the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum for a stunning European art collection ranking among the top visitor attractions in Scotland before visiting the Gallery of Modern Art in the city centre, highlighting artists from around the world. 

Take a captivating journey through the world's finest cars, bicycles, streetcars, and locomotives at the Riverside Museum before visiting the University of Glasgow's Hunterian, Scotland's oldest museum, housing diverse collections of art, zoology, anatomy, and more.
