Glasgow

Late spring and summer suit outdoor exploring, though showers are possible throughout the year.

Glasgow is often cool and changeable; pack waterproof layers for year-round visits.

Accommodation and dining can be costly; many major museums offer free entry.

Subway, buses and trains serve the city, but check routes and connections for outlying sights.

Explore Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Riverside Museum, Glasgow Cathedral and the University of Glasgow’s historic campus.

Take usual city precautions, particularly around busy nightlife areas and when travelling late.
