This makes the city a perfect place for a wee city break to explore the best things to do in Glasgow. Although Edinburgh gets a lot of attention with its incredible history, castle. don’t let it overshadow your opinion of Glasgow. It’s a totally vibrant and buzzing Scottish city that’s so much fun to explore. After spending a good few years living in I had loads of time to pop over to Glasgow. That’s why I wanted to share some of the best things to do in Glasgow on your visit.  From the amazing bars, restaurants and pubs to the beautiful art and museums, there really is a corner of Glasgow that everyone will love. Take a look below at some of the very best things to do in Glasgow below. You’re gonna have the best time.  1.) Visit Glasgow’s Museums As I mentioned, whilst you’re in Kelvingrove Park, it’s well worth popping over to visit some of the museums that are dotted around this area. It really is one of the best things to do in Glasgow, especially as the vast majority are free. Don’t forget to visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, that is just amazing. Built to resemble a Renaissance style castle, it looks like something out of a fairytale. Pretty recently, the museum underwent a huge renovation and is now up there as one of the best museums in all of Scotland. It is open daily and has free entry (that’s something that I always love). Afterwards, pop over to (on Scotland Street) for some Scottish Oysters and scallops. 2.)See the City Chambers The City Chambers has been the seat of Glasgow governance since the late 1800s and a great place to see if you love history. Nowadays, you can join one of the City Chambers free tours that include the stunning entrance hall and banqueting hall. Tours usually run at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm (Monday – Friday). Now, you can’t book tickets online so I’d definitely recommend getting here about 20-30 minutes before to grab a spot. Afterwards, pop over to St Jude’s (on Bath Street) for one of the juiciest burgers in the city! 3.) Explore the Glasgow Cathedral Dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Saint Mungo, seeing the cathedral is one of the best things to do in Glasgow. Especially if you love gorgeous buildings and history. Consecrated way back in the 12th century (though it took a few hundred years to build), the Cathedral is so iconic and the oldest in mainland Scotland. Once here, you can walk around the cathedral and explore its incredible history. It’s totally free to enter although it might be closed during services. If all that exploring works up an appetite, pop over to Picnic (on Ingram Street) for one of the best brunches in town. They make epic waffles! 4.) Stroll through Kelvingrove Park Strolling through Kelvingrove Park is one of the best things to do in Glasgow if you want to take a break from the city itself. Even though it’s in the city centre, you’ll still find some gorgeous trails beside the River Kelvin that is lovely on a sunny day. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the bandstand for local events that happen seasonally and on weekends. Whilst here, it’s a good idea to partner up a visit to the park with a trip to the nearby Hunterian Museum. It’s minutes away from the park. 5.) Wander through Kibble Palace  The Botanic Gardens and Kibble Palace are another one of the city’s free attraction that area a great place to visit. Located alongside the River Kelvin, the garden is a great place to see, especially the greenhouses (like Kibble Palace). Once inside Kibble Palace, you’ll see the huge collection of tropical plants and trees that would be more at home in a rainforest! If you fancy getting outside, pop along the heritage trail that crisscrosses the park itself on the way to Kelvin’s Walkway and the Gardens Arboretum. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head over to  that serves a heap of sharing plates with a Scottish flair! It’s so good. 6.) Find The People’s Palace  Located on the Glasgow Green, The People’s Palace Museum is another one of Glasgow’s incredible museums. The museum is a reminder of the social history of the people of this city and a place that’s worth exploring. Inside, you’ll see a display about the political activist and local resident John MacLean, too. If that’s not your thing, pop around the Winter Gardens is somewhere that you can go to relax among the tropical plants inside the greenhouse. 7.) Stroll through Pollok House and Country Park Over the last few decades, Pollok Country Park has won quite a few awards as one of the best parks in Europe, it’s lovely.  One of the best things to do in Glasgow, especially for a little stroll, the park itself used to belong to the Pollock family (that called this area home). Eventually, after 700 years, the park and Pollok House was gifted to the city to remain as a public park for us all to enjoy. You might even spot some highland coos!  Whilst here, make sure to walk along the White Cart River or bike the parks relatively new routes too. Oh and just remember, Pollok Country Park is home to the Burrell Collection but it’s currently under renovation and due for completion in a few years. 8.) See the Duke of Wellington Statue Glasgow has a sense of humour, it really does! That’s what makes it so much fun to visit. That being said, if you wanna see proof of this, pop over to the Duke of Wellington Statue at the Royal Exchange Square. Once here, see if you can spot the Duke with a fetching hat… he’s usually sporting a traffic cone that has now become a tradition in Glasgow! Apparently, the council always try to remove the cone […]
