What to see in Glasgow
No trip to the city would be complete without a tour of fascinating Art Nouveau buildings designed by Glasgow’s most famous architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Be sure to visit the stunning Glasgow School of Art, as well as Mackintosh House if you have time.
Other major attractions include the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral, the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, the Glasgow Science Centre and the impressive Tall Ship, a living testament to Glasgow’s heritage of ship-building excellence.
The Countryside
If you want a day away from the bustle of the city, it’s only a short-drive from Glasgow into the stunning Scottish countryside, where you’ll find lochs, mountains and breath-taking coastline at every turn.
In fact, it’s only 30 minutes drive from the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, where you’ll find over 700 square miles of incredible Scottish countryside, as well as Loch Lomond itself, Britain’s largest inland stretch of water.
