Review of Glasgow
Glasgow
Flights to Glasgow take you to a city reborn, where Victorian architecture sits alongside sleek modish style.
Things to do
After flights to Glasgow visitors can lose themselves inside the red sandstone Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, a recently refurbished Victorian landmark. Inside, the Glasgow Tea Rooms exhibition shows off four 1920s interior designs of Glasgow’s famous son Charles Rennie Mackintosh, with clean Art Deco-type lines.
Shopping
At historic market the Barras, join locals wandering through a thousand stalls offering everything from photographs to Celtic football shirts. Humorous banter fills the air as you search for goodies from your Glasgow city break.
Restaurants
In the former financial district, glorious Victorian buildings loom over Merchant City’s fashionable restaurants. On your Glasgow holiday, feast on freshly caught seafood like oysters and pan-friend scallops, or an upmarket twist on Scotland’s traditional haggis and neeps.
Nightlife
Taste fine whiskies in Oran Mor bar, a former parish church in the heart of Glasgow’s bohemian West End. Live music and theatre under the ornate painted ceiling add cultural flavour, at this popular gathering spot of Glasgow’s literari.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Glasgow. Buy airline tickets to enjoy Glasgow’s top events like the pipers’ gathering for August’s World Pipe band Championships, and Hogmanay celebrations to bring in the New Year.
