Sightseeing

Lovely park, with basketball court, ponds, swans, and outdoor gym. My favourite is to climb up to the flagpole where you get a magnificent view out to the hills. The poetry garden is worth a visit - try and ignore the fact that we've chosen to honour our best poets by sticking their names on bins!

Fabulous hillwalk. Get the train to Arrochar and walk to the base. If you're driving, continue along and over the Rest and Be Thankful to Inveraray for lunch and visit the castle or the old jail.

Interesting window into life in 18th century Scotland. This beautiful and well-preserved town was built by Robert Owen to house workers at his mill. There is a wee museum, a cafe, and access to a nice walk by the Falls of Clyde.

Porady dla podróżnych

Poruszanie się po okolicy

Always check the driver is going where you want to go

Glasgow buses are privately run, so we have a number of competing companies, who often use the same numbers for different routes. The 4 and 6 are usually a safe bet, but be particularly wary of anything beginning 38 - these go all over the place!
Jak zaoszczędzić

Many of Glasgow's museums and art galleries are free entry

Google before you go, but those run by Glasgow Life are generally free
