Things to do in Glasgow
From its edgy arts scene and hip shops to distinctive, trailblazing buildings – Glasgow moves in its own way.
Glasgow School of Art
Glasgow School of ArtThe Glasgow School of Art resided in an iconic building that is still a working art school – visit the Window on Mackintosh Visitor Centre – it's amazing. Grab cheap train tickets to Glasgow - Mackintosh's buildings alone are worthy of a trip to the city.
The Hunterian
The HunterianSee the skeleton of a 300-million-year-old shark that was found by – wait for it – a man walking his dog, at The Hunterian. Other highlights at this Glasgow Uni museum include coral found by Scottish fishermen (coral reefs aren't just tropical, apparently) and a 2,500-year-old Egyptian mummy.
Glasgow Science Centre
Glasgow Science CentreGet your boffin head on at the Glasgow Science Centre. You can build your own rocket, or run on a giant hamster wheel (really) ‘til you’re worn out at this futuristic science centre on the waterfront.
