I was stunned. The museum is beautiful outside and inside. Great collections (with Dali's Christ on the Cross on display) and lots to see and experience. It's completely free, so make sure to go! On Sunday there is an organ recital around noon, which was also cool to see and hear.

Want to see it all.....a full day might do it! So much to see and experience. Thank you to the people of Scotland for providing free access to this wonderful collection. Be sure to leave a donation in one of the boxes near each entry point!.... Try to be around for the short organ recital usually around 1 pm.

If you happen to be in Glasgow, there is one place that you should definitely not miss out on. It is a must-visit for anyone who loves beautiful architecture and unique museum pieces. The place I am talking about is completely free for the public to explore, making it a great option for those on a budget. The architecture of this place is truly breathtaking and is sure to leave you in awe. The museum piece on display there is one of a kind and definitely worth seeing. So, if you want to experience the best of Glasgow, be sure to check out this incredible place.

A favourite of mine. Love to spend time exploring and enjoying the beautiful pieces of art. There are many wonderful items to look at. There is a very nice cafe on the lower floor (or ground floor) if arriving using the back of museum. A must see If never visited. The architecture is also amazing

Small but varied art gallery. A really eclectic mix of things. The daily organ playing, the broad range of art and exhibits make this a really enjoyable place to visit. There are so many little things to see, but unlike some museums, it’s not overpowering. A special mention should go to the cafe with stunning biscuits and short bread. The staff were very polite.

This is one of the must see museum in Glasgow. It is a massive museum with magnificent art pieces and sculptures. The history of war and our forefathers is education itself. I visited it during Christmas time and just outside this museum an ice skating rink was set up for winter and it was awesome.

Spectacular building… worth a peak just to see the main halls … I was only really interested in the Macintosh section, which was good… but there seems to be a really nice selection of artefacts/ items across a huge range of topics. Nicely curated….

Walked through quickly. Great place for kids and souvenir shoppers. Very eclectic. The organ player was entertaining a crowd as we entered. An eclectic grouping grouping of collectibles. The museum is free with a donation box at the entrance. There is a cafe on the main level and a restaurant on the lower level. Both were crowded when we visited.

Huge museum, i was impressed about the building how big it is. Divided by 2 side and 2 colors, i think we spent at least 4 h just to see every room. If you have passion for art this is your place to visit.

Free entry to an architecturally stunning building. The contents inside this building is also wonderful. I could easily spend the day in here. On a sunny day, you can sit outside on the grass and enjoy a picnic. A cheap, but very cultural first date location. I highly recommend going if you’re visiting Glasgow.

An excellent day out in Glasgow. This museum and art gallery is a must for all ages. Very good exhibitions. The cost of a visit is free but they do ask for a donation which is no hardship at all. Got the subway there which is only a 5 min walk away.

Great selection of art, history and culture. Museum has free entry and is a great location to learn more about the city and the history. Good selection of exhibits. Would make a great day out for kids. Allow at least 2 hours for the visit. One of the best museums in Glasgow.

Free entry, fantastic art gallery and museum. Could have spent days! Volunteer staff are fantastic - I recommend dropping your bags off to enjoy the gallery and museum more. Many famous works to see - and I was lucky enough to be in the museum when the organ was played! If I have to make one comment, perhaps an alternative lighting method for Christ of St John of the Cross. Spotlights are too bright!

If you are interested in learning more about Scotland and Glasgow this is a good starting point. It’s a proud nation and has had a rich history to prove that. It may not be comparable to the museums in terms of size, you found in London, the exhibits are no less significant.

Absolutely wonderful museum and art gallery. For me the most stunning part is the building itself. Outside is good but inside is spectacular. Very helpful and friendly guides. No charge to enter except for special exhibitions. Quite similar to the Natural History museum in London but with art. We spent a few hours here and could easily have doubled it. Will be going back for more, that’s for certain!

Great museum. Free entry. Lots of small, thematic exhibitions, with inspiring art and interesting information about the history of the city and area. The coffee shop in its center is also quite nice, with really friendly personal.

It’s so impressive. We attended the Sunday organ recital. It’s incredible that the organ sound hits you right as you enter the main hall on the ground floor. Children play and dance to organ music. The art and all artefacts are beautiful and help to experience history in an engaging and fun way!

Amazing exhibits, could have spent 2 days looking at everything in here! If you can make it for the organ show, I highly recommend! It’s incredible that such a stunning collection of art and history is all free to the public!

Animal exhibits were a wonder to walk through and the paintings they had on display in the art section were amazing. There was a video on loop about the restoration and preservation of painting which was fascinating. I plan on going back and listening to the Organ recital live.

Spent an afternoon here after taking the train in from Edinburgh. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are cute shops nearby as well as inside the museum full of neat trinkets and keepsakes coinciding with the current exhibits. Kelvingrove has quite the assortment of things to see--from natural history to fine art, and even some modern exhibitions.

I have been visiting Kelvingrove since I was a little girl, and it isn't a trip to Glasgow if you don't visit the Gallery. I took my two year old son here for the second time, and he absolutely loved it. There is so much to look at and lots of interactive parts for the kids and adults. There are some of the most beautiful art available to see here. A brilliant cafe and gift shop too!

What an amazing structure, so much detail puts modern buildings to shame. The exhibits were fantastic too and everyone was very helpful with directions There is a wee cafe within, however, we did not use. Toilet facilities were easily located and very clean

3.5 stars, it was a great free attraction in a gorgeous building but felt the exhibits inside were outdated and not as interactive as had anticipated. Some of the paintings are beautiful, and i particularly comend the ones of Scotland, but felt the museum side of things let it down. Wouldn’t visit again, but pleased I have. Felt the informatiom could had been more descriptive to help understand the history behind the art.

Free entry to revisit the past. The gallery starts with Scottish arts and then takes you through past histories carefully collected from around the world. It has an animal section which might interest kids. If you happen to be there around 1pm, do not miss the piano performance by the hall. Amazing experience!

Great experience for the kids. So much to learn about and explore. To top it all off, it's free and very close to public transportation, which gets you to the city center within 10 minutes.

It was an automatically delightful experience! We had been there with family and all of us enjoyed our time there. It was great to see and read about the history of automobiles ranging from the bicycle to the car and even public transportation. You need 2-3 hours to walk through the whole museum. Kids will surely like it. A great way to spend your weekend!

It was very nice, a lot to see. There was a carnival while we were there. The gift shop has a handful of things, and there is a Cafe inside and outside on the "Tall Ship" our 2 year old daughter really enjoyed it all!

This was my favorite Scotland museum. Such a fun, FREE interactive place. It is fantastic for young and old. They have recreated the old streets and places of Edinboro, you can experience going back in time, getting on and sometimes touching & experiencing antiques. It's handicapped accessible

This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. I was really impressed as I was visiting from the U.S. this museum had amazing exhibits and a large variety of different objects from trains to cars to motorcycles to ships. Wow great job putting this together. The admission was free but a donation is requested. My next trip I will be back because I haven’t seen everything. There was a duo playing music while I was there and they were great. The hop on hop off bus also stops in front of the museum. This is a definite place to visit when in Glasgow don’t miss it.

Great place. Full of old forms of transport. Brilliant old street food exhibit. Well worth a visit when in the area. Great for all the family. Clean, tidy with helpful staff. Free entry. £5.20 for two hours parking just outside.

Really good museum and it's free! Lots of variety of vehicles to see and learn about. My 5 year old loved it and even my 11 month old liked looking at the cars. There's a few interactive bits aswell which is good and you can get on some of the trams too. Lots of interesting bits about Glasgow and the river Clyde.

Really interesting, with interactive exhibits and unique 1:1 scale set of a Victorian street, complete with underground station. And it's completely free. I could have spent hours in there if not for my phone battery dictating my need to leave.

Really good museum - loads to see and do. The Tall Ship was great. My 4 year old enjoyed the stories in the shops, and the pretend vehicles she could sit in. Cafe was fine. Only issue was the excessive heat, and the fact that the cloakroom was closed due to covid.

A fantastic beautifully designed museum with 1,000's of exhibits in the collection of many different types of transport. Traction engine, tube train carriage, bus, fire engine, tram, steam train, bicycles, motorbikes, numerous superb classic cars as well as toys, fashion, recreated street scene and shops. You could easily spend half a day here. Also has a souvenir shop and a nice cafe. It was lovely to see and hear lots of children enjoying themselves and being interested in the vehicles.

Beautiful place, free entry, you can see vehicles from all centres in the past and nowadays. We enjoyed it a lot. The old ship was my favourite 😍. There are places to have brake and eat. There is the cafè on the ship where you can relax and have some food. I would recommend this museum to everybody: kids, youths, adults and elderly people.

An amazing museum, we visited in a summer holiday, and was amazed by the pure scale of these trains and locos. There is plenty to look at, and learn about and its super interactive! Not only is it trains, it's boats, cars and much more! The museum is rich in information and entertainment. Great for all ages, and a must do if you are in glasgow. And the best, most shocking part, is it's free of charge!

I love this museum! There's a lot to see inside from bikes to cars to trains and lots of other transportation vehicles. It is a big museum and it is completely free to visit. You can also go aboard the ship next to the museum, also for free. There is a big parking lot in front of the museum. We had a fun and interesting day out!

If you like history, then this would be a good place for you. The riverside museum presents transport history. You see trains, bikes, cars, ships. I quite liked it. There's also a nice Cafe and decent toilet facilities. Nice ambience. You can also go round the building to the waterside which was quite nice and I presume will be nicer during the summer. Entry is free but you need to pay for parking. I however noticed that parking was more expensive than presented on their website.

Amazing museum and exquisite display of cars and different modes of transportation: mostly from the past. Great place for kids to spend the afternoon. It’s free admissions. Also beautiful architecture of the building, close to the river and with incredible views of the city beyond. Good place to spend an afternoon.

This is a very comprehensive museum of modern science of transport, with quite a few interactive displays where kids can enjoy themselves all around. Displays are very detailed and showing amazing replicas (in many cases originals) of objects from the past. As a bonus, entry is free which does make a difference for bigger families. Easily couple of hours of well spent family time. Totally recommended.

Amazing place, we really enjoyed it. Entrance was free just pay for the car park. Very interesting, the kids loved it especially on the ship. Except for the car parking we spent no money at all, it's a top place to visit on a budget.

Wow, what a great museum. It was fantastic to see so many old modes of transport. It brought back so many memories of being a small boy visiting grandparents on the opposite side of Manchester and using trams & trolley buses to get there.

This museum is an absolute gem, one of the best I've ever made. As well as being free and very well maintained, it's extremely large, with different scenes for different eras, so I had stars in my eyes. If you're ever in Glasgow, don't miss it, I didn't think I'd be interested in transport, but it's a trip back in time. Every city should have a museum like this one, I've fallen in love with it!

Nice museum. Very good for people if interested in vintage cars and mode of transportation. They also have a ship. The entry is free but car parking is not free. A nice place to spend time.

It’s a bit hard to summarise this museum’s eclectic collection. My best effort: A great collection of historic transport machines. A combination of cars, trams, trains, boats, bikes and metro On top an old English city street is rebuild. A must visit for the younger engineers thanks to its interactivity as well as their parents who are interested in technology

Great museum. Free entry. I recently visited the Riverside Museum, and it was a great experience. The museum offers a diverse collection of transportation history, from vintage cars to old trams, and even a tall ship. The interactive displays and well-preserved exhibits were fascinating. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is that some areas were not working well. Nevertheless, it's a must-visit for anyone interested in Glasgow's transportation heritage."

I tend to go to the riverside museum to see the cars as I love classic cars. I also love seeing the street with the fake shops which is a great experience. Especially great as the museum is free. Only small thing is that the cars at the very top of the wall you can’t see as well, but still amazing to see

I took my 2 year old son here for the first time yesterday. He is car mad and absolutely loved his visit to the museum! Bless, he didn't know where to go first. Will certainly be taking him again as he gets bigger.

It was fantastic experience definitely worth it to go , lots different things old stuff, there a big ship outside in the river get to go on it and downstairs that fantastic, I'm deaf and it even have BSL sign language on screen 😀 just great place we stayed for over 4 hours, got cafe , it free to get in just pay for car park . If you ever in Glasgow that be one of the places to go for the day out . 😁💯

Piece in the history. Free entry. Going by car then pay for the parking. Nice large Café inside with plenty of sitting arrangements. You can bring your own food. Exclusive collection of historic cars, trains, bikes, cycles, and many more. This building is divided in to 2 floor accessible by lifts and stairs. Plenty of parking space.

The Riverside Museum is a great spot for history buffs, especially those interested in transportation. Inside, you'll find an array of exhibits showcasing trains, bicycles, cars, and ships, providing a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of transportation over the years. The atmosphere is enjoyable, with a cozy café where you can grab a snack or drink, and the restroom facilities are well-maintained. Additionally, the museum offers a pleasant outdoor experience, with a waterfront area where you can stroll and enjoy the scenery, particularly appealing in the summer months. While entry to the museum is free, it's worth noting that the cost of parking may be higher than advertised on their website, so it's something to keep in mind when planning your visit.

A great place to visit if you have kids or not! So much to see and do in a nice condensed space. You can wander around at your leisure or sit and chill with a picnic. Many people were coming in purely to use the cafe or visit the ship. Best of all it’s completely FREE! (Small charge for parking)

The boys loved it, especially the vehicles they could get into! It took us a while to find the restaurant, are you trying to hide it? The day was topped off by bumping into my old friend Bunny...and other lovely staff members ❤️ 💙 💜

Brilliant! Great for families and exhibits you can really relate to. Excellent cafes - although busy, the staff were fantastic and really efficient! A great day out if you love cars, trains, ships, toys, history...

One of the best museums in Glasgow. Is it a must to see? If you have just a couple of days in the city, it is not a must to see. However, if you have children and want to spend nice time travelling through time, it is the perfect spot plus entry is free of charge .

The Riverside Museum offers a captivating journey through Scotland's transport history. From vintage cars and bicycles to majestic locomotives, the exhibits vividly showcase the evolution of transportation. The museum's striking architecture and scenic riverside location add to the charm, making it a must-visit destination for both history buffs and families alike.

We had a great time at this museum. There is so much here it would be hard to get it done in one visit much less than a few. I enjoyed the interactivity of it all. My toddler loved playing with everything. The trains, buses, firefighter hook & ladder, subway, and so much more. I enjoyed going through the recreated town. It was like walking into a blast from the way distant past. Each exhibit had either a panel with more info of a nice video. Outside you can go into a ship and see many different things inside and outside. My daughter loves it We did eat at the cafe and I found it to be a bit pricey and the food was overcooked a bit. Overall this is a really cool place and hope we can comeback some day.

Great street with something always happening such as buskers , street musicians and artists or general entertainment, also great for shopping , going for something to eat , get a coffee or generally people watching

It’s the Glasgow city center where multiple shopping stores and food outlets are located. It’s the heart of Glasgow and must visit place when you go Glasgow Scotland. I witnessed the 2019 world piping festival which is main attar film of Scotland. Many piping teams come to witness this beautiful event. All team showcased their performances on the street of Buchanan and also infront of Glasgow royal concert hall.

Lots and lots of good shops, and cafés. Really busy

Great place love Scotland and love Glasgow

Great shops here.

Calle peatonal animada y muy comercial (Translated by Google) Lively and very commercial pedestrian street

Very busy

Nice view at the city centre

Love love love for shopping

Beautiful Buchanan Street.

The heart of Glasgow's 'Golden Triangle' of retailing, seems to be going through somewhat of a resurgence, at least for high end retailers in the central part of the street. Well served by the subway and trains, the best car parking is probably still the Buchanan galleries shopping centre. The best bars and eating are off of the street, and are plentiful.

Amazing Buskers in Glasgow city centers!!

Es una calle peatonal llena de comercio!!!… muy bonita!!.. posee excelentes opciones de comida y compra de artículos personales. Al final esta buchanans gallery, que es un mall. Esta muy céntrica y de fácil acceso desde Las dos estaciones de trenes . Hay variados restaurantes de muy buena calidad !!! (Translated by Google) It is a pedestrian street full of commerce!!!… very nice!!.. it has excellent options for food and purchasing personal items. At the end is buchanans gallery, which is a mall. It is very central and easily accessible from both train stations. There are various restaurants of very good quality!!!

Very vivid street and it is a pulsing heart of Glasgow. Full of different shops, stores and souvenirs for tourists. All kind of different buildings with interesting architecture and very large street which is pedestrian area. Just walk around and absorb the atmosphere of Glasgow city as there is much to see.

Lovely bustling street full of shops and street performers, nice walk

What else do you need - shopping, dining, amazing views

the street has shopping brands on both sides, telecom/food/grocery outlets too. but with festive lights and decorations, it’s no more just the shopping area, it’s a mood lifter. so do come out and enjoy walk even if it’s getting dark and cold because on this street will still brighten up the rest of your day. moreover the street itself has 2 shopping centres (frasers and princes square) on it, 1 shopping arcade and 1 more shopping centre (st enoch’s) on the connecting street.

Very good shopping on this street. Live performers doing their thing. Easy walk from the station.

Great place for shopping. Great Taxi service available.

If you go to Glasgow, then you need to walk on Buchanan street. You can find many stores like sports, souvenirs, jewellery, coffee shops, restaurants. Also you can admire while walking, the very nice buildings architecture the red blocks on the buildings are simply amazing.

Stunning and very remarkable. This place is an absolute must to visit in Glasgow. It's located on the top of a steep hill just by side/behind of the Cathedral. There are many interesting graves from different times, including tombstones and crypts. The view from the too is spectacular so even if not interested in the cemetery itself, the breathtaking views can definitely compensate the visitors for it. It's pretty much a 360° view, so the whole city and its peripheral areas are nicely visible. It's very unique, therefore I can only recommend visiting it.

The Glasgow Necropolis offers a captivating blend of history, architecture, and tranquility, making it a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Glasgow. The pros of visiting this iconic cemetery include its stunning Gothic architecture, providing a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls and photography enthusiasts alike. Additionally, the Necropolis offers panoramic views of the city skyline, offering a unique perspective on Glasgow's landscape. However, potential cons might include limited accessibility for those with mobility issues due to the hilly terrain, and the somber atmosphere may not appeal to all visitors. Despite these considerations, The Glasgow Necropolis remains a fascinating and culturally significant site worth exploring for its historical and architectural significance.

Tremendous experience - especially in spring. Blossoms everywhere! If you walk up on the top, there is a very nice view on the city. If you want to calm down, to read a book or bring your Date here it’s the perfect spot!

This is the first time I am seeing this kind of a cemetery with fancy tombstones. You will get a good view of Glasgow city from the top. It’s a must visit.

Ok place to visit but missing the calmness of a regular cemetery. Also hoed for some really old mausoleum or grave stones but nothing below 1800ish dates, a bit crowded for a cemetery. Right next to the cathedral which is way more interesting and has older shrines and stuff:)

Beautiful. I love walking around regular cemeteries but this is something entirely different. Prepare for lots of uphill walking and stairs but worth it. The view from the top is everything! And some of the most beautiful headstones and memorials are there. I wish I’d had another hour to keep walking round but it was a bit too cold and wet that day. I will go back for sure.

We were blessed with a sunny afternoon as we explored the Necropolis. Parking close by, just follow the signs for cathedral parking. Free to wander around. Fantastic views of Glasgow and Glasgow Cathedral which is also free to visit and well worth it.

One of the loveliest necropolis' I've come across. Worth a trip just for the walk but also the amazing large and carved monuments. We spent about 30 minutes walking around and still didn't see all of it. Would love to come back again one day.

The place is enchanting. I like to visit a good cemetery and this one delivers! We only walked a little bit of it and during the beginning we ran into some girls who asked us where the exit was because they were lost. Luckily we were right by it. The paths are windy and don’t go where they seem. We had water and snacks. So many steps to go up .

The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery which dates back to the year 1832. The cemetery, as most early Victorian cemeteries, is laid out as an informal park further enhanced by the complex topography. The cemetery's paths meander uphill towards the summit, where the larger monuments stand, clustered around the John Knox Monument. A visit needed only if you have time at hand, the view of cathedral is picturesque.

Monumental and peaceful place in Glasgow next to medieval cathedral. Place full of history and nostalgia at the same time. When you climb on the hill you will get an amazing view on Glasgow city and different view on majestic cathedral. It is worth to visit this area when in Glasgow. Recommend also for walks.

Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland, established in 1832. It is the final resting place of over 50,000 people, including notable figures such as John Knox, William Miller, James Cleland Richardson and Sir William Arrol . The cemetery is situated on a hill overlooking the city and is a popular tourist attraction due to its impressive architecture and historical significance. While it is no longer used for traditional burials, ashes can still be interred in existing family lairs.

When I asked a young woman what I should see in Glasgow, she instantly replied The Necropolis. And wow she was right. The history, the view, the quiet power of the place is amazing. Take a stroll around the headstones and you will be totally transported to another time. Look across the little valley to the Cathedral and University, or down to the whole city of Glasgow, all so amazingly beautiful.

Out of the three cemeteries in Edinburgh that I saw this by far beat any of those. It is a beautiful walk up with incredible gravestones to look at with exciting beautiful views of the city. This is a must when you visit Glasgow.

Very impressive cemetery from the Victorian era. It is located on a hill above the city and offers not only a place of reflection and peace, but also a beautiful view of the city including the cathedral.

Amazing place. Good walk, with stunning views over Glasgow and beyond. Very popular with tourists and locals alike. Impressive architecture and design. On street parking available. Free parking on a Sunday. Will visit again as even a few hours is not enough to see everything. A million pictures wouldn't do it justice.

A wonderful walk and high view of Glasgow. Add this to your list of places to visit. The pathway up is a nice gradual climb, don’t be intimidated. Once at the top if you can time a semi clear or clear sunset the views are amazing you can see for miles. It’s of course a peaceful walk around the cemetery, viewing the beautiful headstones are also worth viewing along with the city views.

Quite an interesting and eerie place to visit, especially during sunset. I like the unique looking tombstones, and there's some great views to be had of the surrounding area.

A tomb with a view. Glasgow Necropolis is gothic and beautiful. I spent hours with my Canon exploring the 300 acres of ancient mausoleums and grave stones.

A reflective and melancholic site. There are few places in Glasgow that evoke the same quiet aged serenity as the monuments and spires in Edinburgh. This is a very notable exception. Come here early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Feel the immense mystic silence as you cross the weighty bridge that seems to separate the living from the deceased. Seeing spiralling rows of graves ranging from the humble to the ostentatious, one feels the immense scale of time and the ultimate unity of our destinies. Groves of ivy cover older tombstones, yet the presences of the dead are still palpable here.

One of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever visited. There are a lot of uphills and downhills. So, take that into consideration before visiting.

This is free entry and easily accessible entrance. Take note there are no toilets on the premises, the closest ones are a 5 minute walk away and cost 20p. The cathedral itself benefits from limited numbers for each 30 minute entry, you can book tickets ahead of time for your slot. We went during the Easter holidays and didnt have any queueing but it depends if you want to risk it. There is an audio guide (costs) and this helps to walk you through the rich history including the very early King James bible (on show).

A hidden gem since there is so much emphasis on Edinburgh. Glasgow's Cathedral is rich in history and beauty, and the free guides shepherding our visit is memorable. He loved the Cathedral and it was evident. You can spend as long as you want but you need to allow a good hour for the guide. Well worth a day trip on the train over from Edinburgh.

Free entry / and really one of MUST SEE places in Glasgow- main floor and catacombs are available to be visited whole day. No tickets necessary- helpful volunteers staff and multiple languages to be chosen - in written and as audio guide. Done movies were made here - cone to discover them!

Especially nice for fans of Outlander given the fact that some scenes were filmed here. Very similar cathedral to other cathedrals in Europe but still nice to visit in combination with the necropolis! Free guided tours available too which is nice

Regardless of ones religious association, Glasgow Cathedral is one of the most beautiful historic buildings in Glasgow. Very ornate and detailed. It is a must-see place in Glasgow.

I will say just big Woooooooow You just NEED TO GO THERE YOU NOT GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED. I went there with son 10 and daughter 11 , they are enjoying a lot. Superb superb superb

Pretty cathedral, shame about the neon signs used inside too, I assume, make it more trendy. They only detract from the historic building in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you are a fan of Outlander as it has been used heavily in the filming.

Well worth the stop and close by to the necropolis (graveyard on the hill). Both will take you about 2 hours combined. The architecture of the building was beautiful. They have clearly tried to maintain the essence of the original style while also keeping the cathedral in good condition. Free admission with some donations to help keep the history preserved.

Loved the views here and the walk around the cathedral! They were closed that day to outside visitors, so I wish they would have posted that on the website. It’s free to get in, but many people, including myself, made plans to tour it that day and there was just a sign outside saying no one could go in.

The interior is beautiful. Every level has its own vibe and I like things are labeled so you know what you ate looking at. If you going to acropolis you get a good angle from higher up.

Beautiful inside and out. Suggest walking around as well. You can spend a good hour there. Just watch the photos and you see what I am talking about. No tickets required. All free entrance.

Love these old locations and the fantastic size and detail these people were able to create. Not too big so an hour is fine to check it out. Many memorials of fallen soldiers and saints the usual stuff for a chatolic cathedral I would say. The staff is helpful and free of charge to enter with guided tours provided for free too. If there is available guide.

Glasgow Cathedral is an absolute must-visit attraction in Scotland! This stunning medieval cathedral has been standing for over 800 years, and its rich history and architecture are truly awe-inspiring. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained-glass windows, and intricate stone carvings. The cathedral's history is deeply rooted in the city's heritage, and it's fascinating to learn about its connections to Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow. The cathedral has survived wars, fires, and other challenges, and its resilience and beauty are a testament to the skill and dedication of its builders. As I explored the cathedral, I was impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of reverence that pervades the space. The cathedral is still an active place of worship, and it's clear that it holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Glasgow. Some of the highlights of my visit included seeing the stunning nave, the ornate tombs and memorials, and the beautiful chapel of Saint Mungo. I also enjoyed learning about the cathedral's connections to the Knights Templar and the Order of the Thistle. Overall, my visit to Glasgow Cathedral was an unforgettable experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the history, culture, and beauty of Scotland. If you're visiting Glasgow, make sure to add this incredible cathedral to your itinerary - you won't be disappointed!

Free, but book your tickets in advance due to indoor rules. An absolutely GORGEOUS cathedral with incredible stained glass windows. A must see.

Impressive cathedral set in a dramatic location below the hill top commentary. Easy walking distance from the CBD for both Cathedral and Necropolis. The exterior belies the richness of the interior.

It's a must see. I've been in Glasgow for years. And never have I been in the Cathedral. Amazing. I need to go back. We didn't have enough time to see it all properly but what we did see was fantastic. Huge. Definitely a must see for locals and tourists alike.

I didn't get the privilege of going inside, but this cathedral is one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. It looked absolutely incredible at night, the lights complementing the articulate design of the roof and exterior of the structure. Going to the necropolis gives a particularly great view of the cathedral from afar.

Number one list when visiting Glasgow. Its magical and fascinating. The building was like maze as its also have basement prayer area. We can light the candle to remember our loved one in such a calm ambience to do that.

I never came inside since I did not have the time, but I did not need to. Having seen so many elaborate and enchanting cathedrals across Scotland that lay in ruins after the chaos and turmoil of the Reformation I am very thrilled in relieved that this one survives. It feels like a sanctuary, a mysterious and vast place of profound peace and calm. Coming close to it gives the visceral thrill of being in the presence of something unspeakably ancient, the collective will and passion of an age that has now receded to the world of legends and ghosts. In the soft autumn light between rows of gnarled trees with golden leaves, it looks particularly appropriate.

I enjoyed wandering around the cathedral, particularly the lower church. I was greeted at the entrance, but I feel it would have been helpful for the person at the door to offer information about how to get the best out of the visit. I discovered later that there's an audio tour. There are also volunteer guides but they ignored me when I went to their desk and carried on their conversation. Later I tried to get the attention of one of them but, again, was ignored. So I ended up walking around and reading the information. It's an interesting place and very atmospheric.

At last, I visited the cathedral and it was a great experience. You can visit this place for free. The place was crowded when I visited. If you are a history buff then there is a lot to explore here and that can consume lots of time, so it's always better to plan and come. I was surprised by the massive size of this cathedral, a feature not commonly found in modern cathedrals. There are spacious undergrounds inside the cathedral and that was a mind-blowing experience.

Glasgow Cathedral is a breathtaking testament to Scotland's rich history and architectural prowess. Stepping into its hallowed halls feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by centuries-old stone and awe-inspiring stained glass windows. The cathedral's grandeur and intricate details are simply mesmerizing, leaving visitors in awe of its beauty and magnificence. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, Glasgow Cathedral is a must-visit destination in Scotland's vibrant cityscape.

First time visiting the Cathedral yesterday. For an Event. It was a breathtaking experience. I will have to go and visit it again. And see and appreciate it more. Will definitely go back.

This was a great way to see a historic piece of architecture, walk through an active religious monument, and learn a little more about the history of Glasgow at the same time. Historic religious events and Glasgow's long history go hand in hand, therefore this place is a great one stop place!

A little bit out of town but the Cathedral was Great with a lovely lower level and a Acropolis around the back...a must see when in Glasgow

Glasgow Cathedral stands as a magnificent testament to Scotland's rich history and architectural prowess, drawing visitors with its awe-inspiring Gothic design and centuries-old relics. The pros of visiting this iconic landmark include its stunning stained glass windows, intricate stonework, and serene atmosphere, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Additionally, guided tours are often available, offering insight into the cathedral's fascinating history and cultural significance. However, potential cons might include occasional crowds during peak tourist seasons, which can detract from the tranquil ambiance, and limited accessibility for those with mobility challenges due to uneven terrain and staircases. Despite these considerations, Glasgow Cathedral remains a captivating destination for travelers seeking to delve into Scotland's rich heritage and architectural marvels.

Visiting Glasgow Cathedral was an awe-inspiring experience! The stunning architecture, rich history, and tranquil atmosphere make it a must-visit in Glasgow. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of reflection, this majestic cathedral offers something for everyone. Don't miss the chance to explore this gem of Scotland's heritage

Visit an iconic landmark and take a journey back in time. A visit to the beautiful Glasgow Cathedral is a must. Entrance is free and small donations are requested.

Great place to walk around with the centre spread over three different levels. Lots of interesting hands on demonstration objects to try which will keep children and adults of all ages engaged. If visiting during a weekday and schools are starting to go in go directly to the top floor where it will be quieter and work your way down.

I visit Glasgow science Centre after long time. My daughter class is going to visit , 1 family member have to with her. We are lucky coz weather is warm and sunny. We have gr8 time. We enjoyed it. It is good day out with kids.

It's not advanced much since it opened. Same displays apart from expensive visiting attractions. Primary school age kids will like it. Not a lot for older kids. Planetarium was good and IMAX cinema reopens in May. Would be good if it had a discount for disabled concession card holders and carers. Remember to get your car park ticket stamped at reception so you can get out of car park. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Car park has no time limit so you can explore area after visiting.

Wow there’s so much to do here! My 4 year old loved it. There must be a thousand things for the kids to touch and explore and they are allowed to touch everything - what a great spot to let them play and learn with a free reign. Great for their imagination and curiosity 😊 staff lovely, cafe had surprisingly great options, everywhere spotless and gift shop had lovely quirky gifts too.

We were a group of 10 with kids ages ranging from 4-16 and we were all kept busy for hours! Had a great time and the activities sparked lots of interesting questions from the kids. We watched the Are we alone? Planetarium show which was great and worth the extra £3.50 pp.

I've visited the Glasgow Science Centre Museum several times over the years and I thought it'd be a good time to write down a constructive review based on my visits. Firstly, it's really easy to book a ticket, you have the option of either booking the tickets online and having the add-ons included or you can go inside and join the queue but there is a bit of a wait if you do that. I've always booked my tickets online and then I was able to print my tickets at home to show the booking office to gain entry. Once through the booking section, you can either climb up the escalator or use the lift to gain entry to the main section, and I've always thought this was such a lovely place to visit, a lot of the reviews on here say that this is more geared towards the younger customers but I find I still have fun because there are a lot of interactive pieces and while the information isn't detailed, it offers a good introduction into science. I've visited the planetarium too, which was lovely, however, it isn't accessible for deaf people as there are no subtitles or a British Sign Language interpreter meaning that I had just watched the stars go by and honestly, this was relaxing and I did enjoy myself but I didn't learn anything new.

The best experience. We visited here as part of my son's 21st birthday events. 4 "adults". Could've happily spent another 6 hours here! Great fun and very informative

Amazing place for kids to learn and play. Good for all age kids. Even for adults quite entertaining. A full day outing with learning and fun.

We had a Great day out here and highly recommend it for family's. Pros: Lots of activities - all very interesting and most are fun for a variety of ages. Plenty of room around the activities to make your way round other groups. Some activities in the body bit let you save your stats to a card (would be cool to see this on more activities). There are plenty of activities around to try out while you wait for another one to become available. Plenty of staff around to help or point you in the right direction. They're also lovely and friendly. Cons: There was a few activities on each floor that were broken (hopefully not out of commission too long) Some activities can be really busy so you can have a long wait (also depends how long certain people spend on activities). It can become slightly disorientating just due to the layout. We didn't go to the IMAX cinema or planetarium so can't comment on how good those are but they are additional to the entry price.

We took our children, 6 & 9, on a visit from South Africa. They absolutely loved it. We took the easy walk over the bridge from the CSS bus stop. You could spend a whole day here and still want to stay for more! Lots of activities for all ages. Great value.

Some interesting things to learn and lots of activities to do. Unfortunately there was alot of schools there the day we went with really noisy unruly children which the teachers weren't controlling,they was running about screaming and we had to have a break in the coffee shop to bear going back in. So more supervisors needed as the teachers didn't care. It was alot better once they left at 2/2:30pm. We booked onto the Planetarium tour but didn't go in as when we was waiting there was an obviously very ill child coughing non stop and we didn't want to get ill for the rest of our holiday especially as she was not putting her hand over her mouth and coughing over everything. Definitely take hand sanitisation with you. Staff friendly and helpful. Cafe good. Children enjoyed most of it.

Went today to the science centre with the wife and kiddies. Never been before and have to say we where there for hours! Loads to do. Science show, planetarium, short movies in the IMAX, just packed with fun, entertaining and brain expanding stuff. Have to tip my cap to the science show hosts Richard and Emma too today. Really funny but informative just what you want. Enjoyed it a lot. Only ouch part was the cafe. Felt it was a bit over priced and did dampin the experience for us as we hadn't prepared any lunches before hand. Apart from that though top teir fun for all and do recommend paying for all tickets and extras before hand to save time on the day. Go expand your minds and enjoy as we did 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There’s so much for kids (and adults!) to enjoy here. Our visit including an IMAX documentary lasted about 5 hours. Lots of interactive things to do and would recommend the animal film.

This is a brilliant place for a full day picnic with family. It's a fun place, not just for kids but for adults alike. There is enough to keep everyone engaged for the whole day. We reached about 11:30, just in time for the mind blowing IMAX show on our beautiful earth from space followed by 3 floors of scientific experiments and activities to explore. There's also a science show and the final cherry-on-the-top planetarium session. You have to visit this place at least once if you're in Glasgow. It's worth every buck! You can have your lunch either at the in-house cafeteria or bring your own packed lunch. There's also a small gift and souvenir shop inside the building. Make sure you book for the entire day to get a discounted parking onsite. Enjoy!

Interesting and fun, so many things to try and to discover. 3 floors with different activities for all the ages. I didn't waste a second, excited like a kid i was trying everything. On the final stage you can relax on the Planetarium watching 360° visuals.

My son particularly enjoyed the planetarium. Science is quite interesting and I saw basic physics in play. Particularly recommend if you are tryimg to get your kids interested in science. They will certainly get more curious

my wee boy is only 2 n a half so wasn't sure it would be enough to entertain him. I was wrong, he had a fantastic day, we were there from 10am till about 3pm and he could have easily stayed longer. a lot of the stuff he didnt understand but still had fun playing with it and the under 7s section is fantastic.

The Botanic gardens is a great place to come and relax for a few hours. Only 7 minutes walk from Hillhead underground and you come to a well maintained park with multiple footpaths winding there way through the multitude of plants, lawns and trees. The star of this part is definitely the two large greenhouses housing plants, ferns, palms, trees etc. from across the world. Great opportunity to learn more about plants from each of the continents. The park has both toilets and a nice little place to grab a coffee, some cake or a sandwich. Would highly recommend this as a place to visit.

We had a quick trip to Glasgow before we checked-in our cabin and decided to visit Glasgow Botanic Gardens. The place is amazing filled with lovely flowers and many other amazing plants you never knew exist. The exterior of the place is magnificent paired perfectly the yellow flowers scattered around. There were only few people when we came so we didn’t have to queue or anything.

This place can not stop amazing me. Various plants can be found here. The garden is so clean, neat and well maintained. The staff are so helpful. I learned many things in this garden. I spent hours exploring the garden and it was so interesting. I would like to suggest you to stop by while in Glasgow and see how this garden may attract you attention.

What’s not to like ?! Victorian engineering , tropical plants, fantastic history and information boards, and it’s free to get in. A great day out and can happily spend a few hours here. In summer time the outdoors are also a great place to explore. Still one of my all time favourite places in Glasgow.

What a fantastic place to visit. There are so many plants in the different greenhouses. It's lovely to wander around, and you can learn a bit more about what's growing here.There was so much to see here, and the gardens were full of so many different kinds of plants and flowers. There was also a large area where people could bring a blanket, sit down, and relax which was a really nice area.

What a beautiful place and free! Paid a visit to this gem and was blown away by the amazing glass houses and tropical plants. Amazing gardens to walk around and interesting facts about plants and flowers. Would love to come back in summer when all the flowers are out. Beautiful place.

Small-ish when compared to say Glasgow Greens, but there are 2 very well cared for Greenhouses, clean facilities and plenty of space to sit or lie down among the greenery. A few dogs on leashes. Food and drink available on site. No parking that I saw, but easy to walk to from the subway or anywhere you found to park. Oh and free 😊

Free attraction where you can spend between a couple hours and a whole day. The outside area has about 2 miles of trails with various plants, trees, a rose garden, a historical section, a big lawn, and benches. There's a restaurant as well as a food wagon. There's a playground. There are two greenhouse buildings with a number of separate rooms in each with flora and fauna from every continent except Antarctica. There's also a path down to the River Kelvin.

Absolutely love visiting these botanic gardens! 🤩 Great location for photography and so many hidden gems in here! Lots of squirrels and beautiful views here. It does get quite busy but definitely worth it for the view!

Very beautiful gardens. Loved the green house and glass houses, they are so pretty. It's a nice place to relax with friends n family. Make sure to bring nuts for the little squirrels

Nestled within the heart of Glasgow, the Botanic Gardens stands as an exquisite haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking respite amidst urbanity.

Immaculately kept, the gardens radiate a sense of serenity and tranquility. Lush foliage, vibrant blooms, and well-manicured pathways create an inviting ambiance that beckons visitors to explore and unwind. The attention to detail in maintenance is evident, making every step a delightful encounter with nature's beauty. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the meticulously designed garden – a realm of harmony where time seems to slow down. It provides an idyllic setting for leisurely strolls, moments of contemplation, and embracing the aesthetic allure of nature. The garden's beauty, complemented by thoughtfully placed benches and charming corners, encourages visitors to linger and immerse themselves in the surroundings. Glasgow Botanic Gardens stands as a testament to the wonders of biodiversity, offering a rich tapestry of plants and landscapes that both educate and inspire. For those seeking a connection with the world's green heritage, this haven is an essential visit. Whether you're a botany aficionado or simply seeking a tranquil escape, the gardens offer an enchanting experience that celebrates the marvels of the natural world.

Very relaxing place to go for a long walk. Plenty of paths to walk around, also walk next to the riverside and beautiful greenhouses filled with the most amazing plants and are all free to visit. For me, the only downside was that it was way too full of people, but it is a big city, it was weekend and the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so that is totally understandable. Dogs are also allowed in the garden, but not in the greenhouses.

Don’t you just love the botanics? There’s nothing quite like lazing about in the grass here on a late summer’s afternoon, when the suns getting low and the air is at that perfect temperature. Not cold but not hot. This is a park that anyone can enjoy; from tourists, to locals, from young and young old. This park has a bit of everything for everyone.

It is an amazing experience, I can’t believe that it is all free. The botanic garden is really interesting, it takes some time to visit it. Also the park is full of squirrels, very nice to watch them (they also come to you)

Absolutely loved this place. Didn't expect so much interesting plant life to be thriving in January but there's so much to see in the different sections. Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in seeing some exotic plants that you are unlikely to see in gardens and parks.

Magnificent place to visit. 5 minutes walk from Headhill subway in WestEnd. Free entry. Several glasshouses with vast array of plants, flowers, ponds. Good signage within pristine kept park. Must be seen!

What a wonderful place to visit. In the heart of the city, but open, spacious and quiet. There's such a variety of plants and flowers was great to slowly walk through the various green houses.

It’s a beautiful garden with a clean and spacious sitting area just outside the greenhouse. The garden is warm inside and there is so much plant history to learn and look at. It’s free to enter but dogs are not allowed in the greenhouse. It’s a modern facility and you’d have fun surrounded by greens. Enjoy!✨

Wonderful botanical gardens sitting at nice location. They have a huge variety of vegetation and nice and warm environment. Must visit if you are a plant lover or visiting Glasgow with friends or family. I always find it very photogenic. They had Glasgow theme in the gardens woth lovely lights all over. A small coffee place on the entrance is all you need for a nice cold weather to visit this place. Will visit again.

University of Glasgow is one of the popular and most favourite universities of Scotland. It has near about 60-70 buildings. The area of this university is huge, if you visit here for first time, you feel like you have been in a different city 😁 It’s that much big. It’s nice to be here.

Amazing academic atmosphere, built by real people. A great ambience for education and growth.

A really great place to be. Studying in a reputable university indeed makes all the difference. I love my University.

Just attended my sons graduation. Was such a joy to see so many attending and so many graduating. This university is one of the best in Scotland and was established in 1451. It has had many scholars through its doors. The ceremony was well organised well run. Staff were very helpful and friendly covid aware and rules and regulations enforced. Facilities were OK well signed. This university is steeped in history and tradition and tradition was honoured and the graduates made history. There own. Marvellous experience for all never to be forgotten

Hogwarts vibes ✨️. Great history, interesting museum, and awesome architecture. I did not know that James Watt studied/worked here haha

Take a couple of hours to visit this campus. A great walk in a vibrant part of Glasgow, with a park and a river running through it, the iconic central building and numerous places to relax. It is well connected to the city center by bus.

Beautiful building. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Lucky if you get to study here!

Glasgow University, known worldwide as a great school, also happens to house my favourite spot in the world for self reflection, chilling or people watching in spare time (the Glasgow University cloisters). The building is beyond breathtaking, surrounded by extensive amounts of intensely beautiful scenery, tonnes of places to visit or go for food/a drink, great local transport links and just ultimately an incredible space in the city for a visit, both for tourists and local Scots with time to spare.

The campus boasts stunning architecture, with the main building standing out as a true masterpiece. Inside, you will find free museums, open study spaces, cafes, a harmonious blend of historic and contemporary structures. The University is unquestionably a must-visit place in Glasgow.

I love the buildings and the atmosphere it’s so beautiful!

Well placed buildings. Beautiful rivers. Very nice for a walk along the river sidewalks.

A prestigious place to study outstanding Architecture with world-class faculty members!

The University of Glasgow holds a special appeal for both Harry Potter fans and science enthusiasts. For Harry Potter fans, the University's Cloisters bear a striking resemblance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Gothic architecture and atmospheric corridors evoke a sense of magic, making it a must-visit location for Potterheads. Additionally, it's worth noting that J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, studied at the University of Glasgow, adding an extra layer of significance for fans. For science enthusiasts, the University of Glasgow has a rich scientific heritage. It's known for its pioneering research and contributions to various fields, including physics, medicine, and engineering. The university is home to notable scientists like Lord Kelvin and Joseph Lister, whose groundbreaking work has had a significant impact on the world of science. Visiting the University of Glasgow offers a unique blend of magical charm and scientific legacy, making it a compelling attraction for both Harry Potter aficionados and those passionate about the pursuit of knowledge and innovation.

Yes it’s one of the top universities in the world but it’s also one of the top tourist attractions in Scotland. such a pretty architecture of centuries ago is well maintained and a perfect gram worthy spot.

Lovey arches, quaint campus architecture. Would’ve loved to spend a semester here.

Studying at Glasgow University was a memorable experience for me, even though I missed the chance to wear a gown and toss a cap due to the pandemic situation. I mean, I did get my degree via the post office, and it hasn’t served me much maybe that was sign 😅. Glasgow University is not only beautiful, but also friendly. I have travelled a lot in Europe and the world, and I can say that Glasgow is on my top 10 friendliest and nicest cities to live in. The university has some modern facilities, but I was more drawn to the old buildings that have a lot of history and charm. The university also has a great vibe for learning and growing. However, I wish that universities, not just this one, would do more to help students who are new to the country or the campus feel less lonely (unless they prefer solitude). It can be hard for some students, especially introverts, to make friends and adjust to a new environment. But don’t worry, it gets easier with time… I just wish universities could speed up this process. Now, If you are thinking of studying there, I have three pieces of advice for you: 1. Start working on your assignments early, don’t procrastinate because the library gets crowded on the deadline week. 2. Visit the student services if you need any support with your studies or anything else, don’t be shy, they are there to help you. 3. Do your best, but don’t stress over grades… in the real world, most people don’t care about them anyway. Find your balance in life, my friend, and above all, good luck. You can do it!

As a tourist, University of Glasgow is a mediaeval treat to the eyes. The place looks absolutely majestic, and the buildings look straight out of a 1500s royal historic place. There is a place to relax on the grass, and one could visit this place after a hike and stroll from the Arthur's seat. If you follow the water trail, you can also find yourself walking/running/jogging alongside the river.

A fantastic tour for any whisky lover! I've been twice now and our guide was fab both times. We did the whisky and chocolate tasting tour which is well worth the money. Beautiful location, educational and my absolute favourite whisky.

A very nice stop at the first day of the West Highland Way. We didn't the guided tour but look around and had a fresh lemonade. The staf is very friendly and the shop is beautiful and complete.

We had a wonderful tasting tour at this beautiful distillery. Our guide walked us up the glen to the water source and told us fascinating stories about the history of the company and the whisky-making process. We tried a 10-year-old and 15-year-old malt which, interestingly, were paired with some local chocolate: they were all amazing!

What a delightful visit and great distillery experience. It is an Uber, taxi, or bus ride from downtown Glasgow but with a little planning, is well worth the trip. The staff was very knowledgeable and eager to help with our transportation logistics. Three blissful samples of outstanding Scotch and chocolate made the tasting a strong finish. If you like Scotch and distillery tours, it’s a must see for the curious. Carlos, Holly, and Robert were exceptionally helpful.

The road to the distillery is beautiful, and there are a lot of things to do on the way. The place itself is very nice and they have lots of interesting whiskey bottles in the store. The staff is very nice and explains all about the whiskey. It's definitely a must distillery to visit.

Absolutely fantastic day out at Glengoyne. It's a beautiful setting for a distillery with the waterfall and the bar overlooking the pond. The tour was great and our tour guide Joanne was brilliant, very funny and informative. The whisky was also delicious. I'd definitely recommend to anyone who's interested in Whisky or Scotland in general.

This was quite an experience, going to Glengoyne on a tour and tasting! Lorna, our tour guide at Glengoyne, did a fantastic job explaining and showing the process of making whisky from barley and how changes in the way you make it can cause it to taste totally different. Then we went to "tasting school" and Lorna taught us the way to taste and see the difference in the aging of whisky and tasted 10 year and 15 year old whisky, and explained the changes in the flavors. She dropped us off at the store. I recommend this tour even for those who know nothing about whisky.

So looked forward to this. Unfortunately hit the distillery in "silent season" mode. I can accept that but the tour and guide was too wordy ... especially given our limited time on site. Compound that with the tasting being limited to just the 10 year-old 😔 Thankfully I found an option to taste two distillery exclusive bottles and walked away with handfilled and personalized bottle 😊

Independently owned distillery. Great grounds and informative, entertaining tasting. We visited during the silent period which we knew before we booked but did not miss the tour. Highly recommend if you want an independent distillery which is getting hard to find.

To think we nearly missed this! Visiting Glengoyne was honestly one of the best parts of doing the West Highland Way. The staff were all so kind and lovely - especially Bob in the store, who’s charms matched with a few too many drams of whisky lead us to starting a small whisky collection. These little bottles really came in handy along the walk. The tour is a must!

My first distillery experience was an amazing one thanks to Glengoyne! It was truly beautiful, and we did the whisky and chocolate tasting. Our guide was wonderful, the group that we were with was wonderful, and we brought plenty of "souvenirs" to enjoy back home in the states. It was our first time in Scotland and we were so glad that we came here for such a memorable experience!

Visited the facility/tour there. Was a fan of bourbon till i visited Glengoyne. No word to explain the notes and taste of this whisky. Hands down to the best Whisky i had so far. Like they mentioned the important ingredient, the time does the magic. Cheers

This was a great experience! Alex was our wonderful tour guide. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and engaging. I’m so glad we chose Glengoyne for our tour. It is about a 30 minute drive from Glasgow city center, depending on traffic and where you are. Plan to arrive at Glengoyne 10 minutes before your tour time. Also, if you’re looking for a place to eat after your tour, we enjoyed The Old Mill in the nearby town, just a few minutes away, but reservations are helpful. This whiskey tour was a highlight of our time in Scotland!

What a great distillery! An excellent tour! A super tasting. Diane and Devin were great guides! Such a picturesque location.

A fantastic tour showing the history of the distillery. Tasting was fun even for a complete novice. Zoe was a great guide. Highly recommend

Very good tour and tasting of whiskey I believe this tour is excellent value for money and I was happy to know that it is the most sustainable distillery in Scotland. If you are looking for a whiskey tour this must be one of the best to take near Edinburg or Glasgow. As it is in the countryside it adds a little more magic to it. In the end you get a discount in the shop. It is easy to visit by bus and you get all the views with mountains. The ticket by bus was 10 quid return. Hope you find this review helpful. Cheers.

Vivianne was such an amazing guide, we had a great time and learned so much and she even related the process of distilling to things we could understand which made the guide so personalized. We did the tour where you were able to create your own blend! We would come Back again!

This was the experience my husband was most anticipating in Scotland, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. We showed up early, and they let us roam the grounds until our appointment time. There’s a cute little waterfall on property. We booked the Malt Master Experience which I believe was around £120 each. Lorna was our guide and came to collect us and four other people when it was time. She showed us around the distillery and explained the process. It was awesome. She was very knowledgeable. The stills are very interesting, and I enjoyed learning about the different cask types and what went into flavoring the whiskey. When we finished the tour, she took us into a small room with hundreds of tiny bottles from casks for owner tastings. They had a table set up with 5 glass bottles of whiskey for each of us to sample, sniff, and blend into a unique 200ML bottle of whiskey which she signed off on after. My nose is not particularly impressive, but I was able to discern certain scents from them. Blending and tasting was fun. If I had to do it again, I would be staying somewhere nearby so I could taste with impunity and not have to worry about driving after. They do package your complimentary 12 year dram if you are a DD. After, she walked us back to the gift shop and let us try some of the other whiskey options. We ended up buying soooo many things, lol, but they had such cool stuff!! Was well worth the money for the experience. I would definitely do it again!!

Had an absolutely amazing experience on the chocolate and whisky tour with Neil. The tour of the distillery was very informative and interesting. The whisky tasting was varied and provided a nice snapshot of the distillery whilst the paired chocolates were delicious and made the whiskies more interesting. Overall, I would 100% recommend a visit.

A birthday present from my kids. Lovely tour, we were welcomed at the door and made to feel special. Informative and friendly. Everyone met us with a smile. The tasting was great and the whisky’s even greater. Highly recommend.

The tour of distillery was booked by a dear friend and it turned out to be informative and a pleasant experience. Special thanks to Dianne and Rebecca who were thorough in imparting info on distillation process and whiskey tasting techniques. We tasted 10 & 15 years matured single malt scotch which is a part of the paid tour and bought few glasses from the on-site shop.

Amazing factual tour. Hosted by Cathy. By far the best tour I've done in any distillery yet. Topped by the Malt Master experience. Can't be beat I don't think, but I've not done every tour in the home of whisky yet. I'll be back!

Lovely building full of very interesting artefacts of Glasgow through the years. We enjoyed our visit very much. Had a decent cup of coffee and a snack in the cafe area. The toilets were very poor. I understand its an old building but the toilet seats weren't even secured properly and the restrooms were not very clean. This is the reason I cannot give it 5 stars.

What a (good) surprise to visit this People's Palace. It displays various themes such as the housing problem in Glasgow, WW1, the wealth brought by slavery in colonies for cotton, tobacco and sugar, socialism,etc.... The entrance is free and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Free entrance for everyone. What a lovely place! A splendid way to travel backwards in time! This place truly caters to the public, keeping diverse areas vibrant. The stunning architecture and garden surroundings could easily pass as a filming location for "Downton Abbey." Kudos to the incredibly kind individuals standing at the entrance all day, braving the cold to offer every visitor a proper welcome! Ensure you contribute a small donation to play your part in sustaining this establishment (I've included the QR code in one of the pictures).

Great place for a brisk walk in the area. Beautiful Surroundings and stunning buildings as well. Would Highly Recommend It.

It’s free and no booking is required. Also free parking. This museums shows the history of Glasgow and gives visitors an insight into how Glaswegians lived, worked and played in years gone by through collection of objects, photographs, prints and a film. Greenhouse (Winter Gardens) is closed though, not sure if and when it will re-open. There are toilets throughout the building, lifts for those who may need extra help and on the first floor there is a café.

Free museum in a historic building in Glasgow Green. Gives the history of Glasgow, but from the working person's life vs. a general broader history. What did people do for work, leisure, and how did they raise families. How did that change over time? What about when war came? What was housing like? Good way to spend an hour. 3 floors. Best for adults.

I visited people’s palace with my partner and it was our first visit here. We spent about an hour and we really enjoyed looking at the history of Glaswegians and learning about the culture. We didn’t drive to the site but we have been told the parking is free. If you’re using public transport it’s worth noting that it’s a 20-25 minute walk from St Enoch station. Also, Glasgow green is a 5 minute walk from the people’s palace.

Very easy walk from George Street where I was staying, clear regular signage along the route It was closed so not able to review the interior of the Palace The grounds are OK but the resounding feature is the fountain. Will return when it's fully open

Free entry. Museum of Glasgow's history. Very informative and staff helpful and knowledgeable. Will go back again. Definitely worth a visit.

Free entry, so much interesting information and facts from Glasgow history. Really enjoyed visiting this place!

Our visit at the Winter Garden was a short but good one. Most of the place was locked down due to the bicycle world championship that’s happening in August, so we were only able to enjoy the park from the outside.

Nothing special.there is a fountain which represents the different nations which were dominated by england before 1947. The garden is fine for walking. If you want just to relax this is a good place.

It’s a good passer of time to wander through but could do with sprucing up a bit. Felt a bit stuck in the past in terms of presentation (a bit like some of the displayed items!). It has the potential to be something greater just needs some financial investment and some TLC.

Parking is free and entry in free...so what are you waiting for. It has the full story of Glasgow across 3 floors, as well as a cafe & toilets. There is also a lift if you can't handle the stairs. Spent 2 hours here before closing at 5pm. Will definitely be back, as I feel there is more to digest.

Absolutely loved our visit to the People's Palace! The kids had a great time, with lots of fun interactive learning. There were fascinating pieces for the adults too. A great place to learn about Glasgows vibrant history.

Free place to go and explore! The museum was really interesting and had a lot of cool displays and parts of the exhibits. I loved the interactive bits and thought it was a perfect spot to get out of the rain and read about Glaswegian history.

I love this museum, It should be more popular!! The information inside is very well displayed, with big wall pictures, we can see the inside of rooms dating to the beginning of the 20th centuries and objects that explain how people lived. The topics covered: the first, the second world war, the house crisis, poverty, justice, entertainment and holiday. The pictures taken are moving, mixing slums and group of children playing in the building stairs, it made me feel both lucky to be able to live in a proper house, but also nostalgic to an era that I didn't know, when neighbours knew each other and whose children could play around without restriction/fear of strangers. This museum is for me a rare exemple of the right level of text to inform and well displayed to be eye-catching. In addition, the person at the entrance of the museum was really nice, he said hello and goodbye with a big smile.

Beautiful place with history. Everything was said before. Just one thing: missing garden yet. I've been told that can take several years yet.

I was visiting a friend in Glasgow and he mentioned, as he knew I liked history, to go to The People's Palace which is just a little walk from the main city center of Glasgow. As we got there you are greeted with a beautiful green park with a big obelisk right in the centre of the Park which is dedicated to the late Lord Nelson, victor of the Battle of Trafalgar. Erected only a year after the battle, the funds were raised by public subscription during the countrywide outpouring of grief which followed the death of the victorious admiral. Walking towards the front of the Museum, you see a great big fountain which was first erected in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park for the 1888 International Exhibition. Then in 1890, the whole fountain was transported two and a half miles to a new location on Glasgow Green. It was then moved for a second time in 2004 to outside the front entrance of the People’s Palace. The fountain depicts the four colonies of the British Empire and then on top of the Fountain, Queen Victoria herself. Going into the Museum itself was a rather interesting walk through time and history, the the left of you when you enter the building is a cafe for you to relax in whether you do that before or after is completely up to you. In certain rooms, there are Costumes for people to dress up in, all being Costumes worn by people from the early years of Glasgow.

This was an interesting place to visit. It was free entry. The exhibits are based on the life of Glaswegians. This palace was built as a place for everyday people to visit. Very informative without lots to read. It was a great place to visit

It is a bit tired, so the scheduled revamp will reinvigorate this much loved place. Needs more interactive exhibits to get the young generation enthused.

The Burrell collection has got to be one of the best collections of artifacts I have seen. Once you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff who are very helpful on giving me information about the layout. The building is maintained in the highest standards right down to the toilets. There is a cafe which I did not have the chance to try out. The artifacts and paintings blew me away there was so much to see and well presented. There is parking outside which cost me 2.90 but that was a few hours stay. Definitely add this to your visit list.

One of my favourite museum experiences ever. The collection itself is impressive in scope, quality, and presentation. The building interior spaces are gorgeous but even better is the way it is enhanced by the surrounding nature, with tons of natural light and beautiful wooded areas visible from the tall windows. They have several fun multimedia experiences designed for children too, which makes it so much easier for adults to enjoy the collection while their kids learn and are entertained. The outdoor areas surrounding the collection are also superb with a huge lawn for activities or relaxing, a fun sand play area that our kids absolutely love, and a nearby play park with great equipment. Bonuses for being free and having an excellent gift shop. The restaurant cafeteria was nothing special, but I don't go to museums for the food so that's not a big deal.

Free to enter and an interesting mix of traditional and modern building structures in which the museum is housed. Lots of outside seating, a free electric bus to run you about the Park should you not be able or fancy walking the short distance to Pollock House. Dogs are not allowed inside the building so I dog sat in the car park. Be warned, paying by RingGo involves an additional payment of 40p on the £10 daily charge, no warning of that on any of the sign boards or on the Burrell Collection website. (Nice little earner!) No outdoor seating for refreshments so no chance of me having lunch with my wife and daughter. I'm told the Collection is worth seeing.

Free entry. £5 parking fee in coins. The museum building is brand new and absolutely amazing. Loads of light from the numerous windows, the use of the light and space creates a very special ambiance. The collection is diverse and world class. Top recommendation. 5 stars.

Leaving a review specifically because I was very impressed with the facilities here. They provide gender neutral toilets which is fantastic, as well as several stations for filling up your water bottles; this was a lifesaver as we came to Pollock Park with our dogs and they were very thirsty throughout the day. We visited one of the cafes and had a banana muffin and it was delicious. The gift shop was beautiful and had a huge selection of lovely magnets, purses, teddies, pens, scarfs, and so much more. I definitely recommend visiting here.

Great gardens and grounds for a day out with the family. Some fantastic highland cows, is a must see. Parking cost £2:50 for 4 hours. Restaurant is lovely to but can take your own pack lunch. The Burrell art collection is amazing with 9000 piece to look at.

This is the most eclectic collection of historic pieces I've ever seen under one roof. Not only this, but these items located in this building are all from one man's personal estate. The fascinating collection seen is just a minute bit of how many wonderful artefacts that this man had in his home. I believe currently there are 4000 stunning relics where, in fact, he collected roughly 9000 or more in total. This is a must-see museum. Free entry.

Fantastic collection of art which has been made more interactive and accessible since the refit. I particularly liked that there were places to sit and contemplate the contents without having to buy something. Saying that we were there for 4 hours - the queuing and ordering system in the main restaurant is truly shambolic (but the actual food once it arrived was perfectly nice), the espresso bar seems to have its act together though. NB the collection is free to visit but you do have to pay to park.

If you visit Glasgow, you absolutely have to come here. The collection is so beautiful, just like the building it is presented in. Such a difference from how art was displayed in the past and so well thought through. Entry is free.

I came here yesterday , the first time I've ever been. It's an amazing place . So bright , so clean , fun for all ages , young and old . Pram and wheel chair friendly . Made a video up , off my day Check out Scottish explorer on you tube

What a wonderful time we had at the Burrell Collection. It’s wonderfully airy so you don’t get sleepy while walking around due to lack of circulation. The facilities are ample and modern. The building is aesthetic so it’s a joy to take photographs. There are many boards so you learn a lot while just walking about. The people are so friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to point to in the right direction or have a chat about the work.

The Burrell Collection is one of the best museums in Glasgow. It houses the art collection of Sir William Burrell and Constance, Lady Burrell. The museum reopened on 29 March 2022 with free entry, having been closed for refurbishment since 23 October 2016. Great place to visit alone or with families. The decorations are amazing. It contains many historical things, painting, carpets, status, and many others. There are many staffs that help and explain many things to visitors. Highly recommended.

Free admission however you can leave a donation (cash or contactless). The car park is a decent size but gets busy from around midday. It's pay and display, you can use the machines or the RINGO app. The museum is very well kept, lovely lighting, big high glass ceilings. Plenty of historic items to see. Cafe and shop inside.

Unmissable experience inside a wonderful park, Pollock. The museum displays are organised in a perfect way for the visitor. All facilities, toilets, lift, restaurant, and coffees are perfect.

Unmissable highlight of any visit to Glasgow. The revamped Burrell won museum of the year in 2023. It's not that easy to get to without a car as it's situated in the middle of the enormous Pollock Park. I cycled and the cycle routes from central Glasgow are fantastic. The collection itself is amazing containing several masterpieces. The museum itself is beautiful and has a good cafe as well as an indoor picnic area. The staff were wonderfully helpful.

MATE! What a collection of magnificence. Walking through this place, as with many museums, is like sliding through the sands of time. I absolutely loved being here with the knights outfits, a massive intricately carved fountain, the reassembled Chambers of the families Old castle and just exquisite pieces of work that have come from all throughout history!!! Just fantastic. 🤌

1st time visiting for me and wasn't disappointed. Absolutely amazing place, best museum and art gallery have ever been to. Building is massive situated in beautiful country park surroundings. Has three floors with both stair and lift access. Is cafe/toilet's on ground floor and picnic rooms on 2nd floor.

What a wonderful collection of artifacts from around the world .Will fill a morning or afternoon of slow walking seeing all the objects. Great cafe to replenish half way through nice grounds to walk in also .£5 to park but that's council but free to go in and plenty of people on hand to answer questions.

Wonderful collection of intriguing & mesmerising pieces spanning all parts of the globe. The building itself is so modern but sympathetic to its woodland park surroundings, surprising it was built in the 70’s! BIG shout out to Abbey who despite her short time there KNEW her stuff! She crammed in so much history about the Burrell family & their history as well as non museum chat. I’d actually seek her out as a guide on my next visit. And you will need a few visits! Some great photo Oppertunities for light/shadow and pattern play. Descriptions are basic, decent sized font and touch screens are a nice modernisation for kids and adults. Good amount of seating is dotted around. Definitely very wheelchair friendly. Nice large communal cafe with little booths. Despite being crowded & quite noisy in areas, service was fast and attentive. Soup, panini, and scones were lovely. Large selection of cakes which are out in the open. I am immuno suppressed so can’t eat open air food. I asked if there were any cakes in the kitchen and again HUGE points scored when I was offered fresh baked ones without judgement. Quick browse in the gift shop revealed some nice items. Also seen stations with kids activities. You could easily come to wander or just to read a book or for a cafe after a park walk. Please leave a donation if possible-the staff & venue really are more than worth it.

One of the more impressive galleries/museums I have visited in the UK, the interactive parts actually work and everything appeared very well looked after. Plenty of staff around. I walked through the park to Pollokshaws West train station just after the sun started setting and arrived at the station as it was dark - I would not like to leave it much later as the path is not very well lit and gets muddy in the rain, and there was nobody else walking around as well (seems most people drive).

The Burrell Collection in Glasgow is a captivating treasure trove of art and artifacts that offers a delightful journey through various cultures and periods. Housed in a modernist building set within the scenic Pollok Country Park, the museum boasts an impressive array of over 9,000 objects spanning from ancient civilizations to modern art. The collection is the result of Sir William Burrell's lifelong passion for collecting, and it truly reflects his eclectic taste and discerning eye. Visitors can marvel at exquisite Chinese ceramics, intricate Islamic art, delicate tapestries, and masterpieces by renowned artists such as Degas, Rodin, and Cézanne. What sets the Burrell Collection apart is its diverse range of exhibits, allowing visitors to explore different facets of art, history, and culture in a serene and contemplative environment. The museum's thoughtful curation and spacious galleries provide an immersive and enriching experience for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. In addition to its outstanding permanent collection, the Burrell Collection also hosts temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and events that further enhance its appeal and relevance to the community. Overall, the Burrell Collection is a must-visit destination in Glasgow, offering a unique and enriching cultural experience that is both educational and inspiring. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Burrell Collection has something for everyone.

I would highly recommend the Burrell Collection, situated in the lovely Pollok Park (woodland tracks and a chance to see Highland Cows and deer). A beautifully curated collection with a variety of different items and varied artwork (paintings, tapestry, sculpture, stained-glass windows ..... ). Accessible building with a cafe, cloakroom etc. Joined a free tour (with guidr Mitchell) for approx. 1hr which was excellent - a detailed and personal exploration of some of the items in the collection. Unbelievable that this is free and well worth a trip out of your way to see.

Not the usual hustle and bustle of the Christmas Markets with all the ongoing Covid situation. But was nice to take the kids, they seemed to enjoy themselves and it was pretty impressive when it was lit up at night time. Hopefully next year will bring back the markets and the fair ground attractions for the children

A great place to relax, read a book, feed pigeons, enjoy the summer sun, or anything you'd love to do in a park . The seats placed all around the square are helpful especially for the elders. This is even awesome at night time as you can see in the photo. Open for public. Queen Street Train Station just across the street. Lots of nearby pubs as well. Enjoy!

Georges Square is a great place to go to especially during the Christmas times because you get to see the Christmas lights and the Christmas market but also it's a place people can go to for political protests. I've attended a few protests on this square and it's empowering when you're together as one to stand for what you believe in. There are times when people use this square for education and inform people about what is going on around the world which I thought was a fantastic thing to do in this day and age. I've also attended here for concerts too so as you can imagine there's a little bit of everything that happens in George Square!

George Square is a vibrant hub in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. With its iconic statues, lush greenery, and historical significance, it serves as a focal point for gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events. The square's architectural beauty, surrounded by impressive buildings such as the City Chambers, adds to its charm. Whether it's enjoying a leisurely stroll or participating in lively demonstrations, George Square offers a dynamic and engaging experience for locals and visitors alike.

Not bad but not too much for tourist, though there isn’t much to do but looking at the statues and the beautiful building around the square makes it a worthwhile place to rest. There are numerous monuments in the square to some of the great statesmen associated with the town so if you are a history buff then this place should be on your lists😀

City square with architecturally significant historic buildings on nearly all sides. A good-sized monument in the center. In the heart of Glasgow. Lots of places to sit. Were there in the spring; many flowers - no grass. Lots of statues - with pigeon excrement on top!
