Web City Travel

When visiting Glasgow, what better place to start than the city centre, and the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Royal Exchange Square. The GoMA is the second most visited contemporary art gallery in the UK and houses an appealing combination of old and new architecture.

Also whilst in the city centre, look out for one of the many Charles Rennie MacIntosh buildings dotted around. The Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchiehall Street, or the Scotland Street School Museum, are perfect examples of Charle’s extraordinary architectural elegance.

You should find time to see the People’s Palace and Winter Gardens.  If you want to know Glasgow’s history you need go no further than its exhibitions on Glasgow’s social history dating back to 1790.  Have some cake and coffee in the Victorian Glasshouse which looks out onto the park where you can also see the Doulton Fountain, the largest maintained terracotta fountain in the world.

Now that you have seen the City Centre, you should head out to the west end of the city. For those of you who enjoy a good walk, take the Kelvin Way to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, home to Salvador Dali’s painting Christ of St John of the Cross.

In the west end of the city, you will find the Glasgow Museum of Transport, which is a real treat for mechanical and engineering enthusiasts, but everyone will find it interesting. It houses the finest collection of Scottish-built cars in the world, along with various examples of public transport and bicycles from the past hundred years.
