GLASGLOW
Young and Energetic Version of BrooklynThe first impression of Glasgow may be the young and energetic version of Brooklyn. Sometimes overshadowed by their famous neighbor Edinburgh, the city may appeal to those travellers with a more creative edge. An industrial powerhouse-turned-city of culture, it has gone from rusting shipyards to award-winning museums, live music venues, quirky shops and innovative restaurants – all built with such modern architecture. There will always be something to do here!
Who would beat Thames in a fight? Probably, The Clyde. Starting as Glasgow’s center of a huge shipbuilding industry, it has been redeveloped to hold modern buildings like the Clyde Auditorium (a.k.a. the Armadillo), and titanium-clad Glasgow Science Centre. Though not all has been made anew; you’ll still be able to catch a glimpse of the river’s old life in the 175-foot high Finnieston Crane. Walk along the curving Clyde Arc, as it makes a great silhouette.
City Chambers Who can beat the glow of those warm, welcoming sandstones? As you walk down the famous Ashton Lane, you’ll be able to visit the melting pot of cultures all lined by sparkly fairy lights. It’s no wonder that it is Glasgow’s most appealing dining and nightlife areas... For more architecture, go to the City Chambers where the opulent banqueting hall and grand marble staircase is bound to take your breath away.
Kelvingrove Park A magnificent Victorian sandstone building housing a plethora of artwork and artefacts, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Science Museum is made up of 33 different galleries and an eclectic mix of collections… From a giant elephant next to a WWII Spitfire, dinosaur eggs next to Egyptian artefacts and paintings by Salvador Dali, the level of greatness is hard to beat anywhere else.
Glasgow in Spring: Botanical Gardens, Kelvingrove Park, Pollok House - The gardens are probably one of the favorite places of Glaswegians when winter ends. Wherever you find yourselves in the city, there’s bound to be expansive green spaces never too far away! From cherry blossoms in Kelvingrove Park (west-end), crocuses in the Botanical Gardens, to geraniums at the Pollok House (south-side), the Spring is definitely the most colorful time of the year.

Loch Lomond Looking for a quieter alternative? Drive to the northern section of the Loch Lomond for some of its best scenery. Canoe through a 23-mile long stretch of water, and enjoy the rugged mountain peaks that show the effects of what thousands of years of pre-and-post Ice Age has done to it. With its beautiful wildlife, charm and character, you’ll ensure that there will be so much to keep you mesmerized.
Street Art (Rogue One) And back again at the city center; there’s no doubt that you’ll come across huge pieces of art adorned on the city’s brick walls. See the fantastical floating taxi on Mitchel Street by @rogueoner, or a reference to The Bird That Never Flew on gable end in High Street by @smugone! Embracing the concept of street art, the City Centre Regenration team has also created a mural trail, too.
Luxury Accommodation – Hotel du Vin, One Devonshire Gardens - Situated along a tree-lined street off the west end of Glasgow stands the charming Hotel du Vin, One Devonshire Gardens. Spread over five Victorian townhouses, rooms are individually designed and furnished up to the highest standard. Being at the heart of the city, you’re close to the finest boutique shopping the city can offer, and handy when setting out to explore the incomparable Scottish countryside. First class luxury?
