Glasgow — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Tour Highlights
- The Merchant District is one of the best places to visit on Glasgow tours. This area full of former warehouses is now home to trendy cafés, restaurants and boutiques.
- Glasgow is famed for its luscious green landscape. Enjoy a family picnic on a sunny afternoon in one of its 70 parks.
- Glasgow Cathedral is one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in the United Kingdom and should not be missed on your Glasgow trip.

- A walk by the Glasgow riverfront will take you to some of the city’s top architectural highlights such as Bell’s Bridge and the Scottish Event Campus (SEC).

- Pubs in Glasgow offer great food for cheaper prices than restaurants. If you are on a budget, pop into one of the hundreds of city pubs for some drinks and food.
