What to see in Glasgow
Must-sees
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and one of its liveliest. Its museums are free: Kelvingrove, with Dalí’s Christ of Saint John of the Cross, the Riverside transport museum and the Burrell Collection. The medieval cathedral and the Victorian Necropolis, on the hill next door, are another must.
It is the city of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the architect of Scottish Art Nouveau, whose tea rooms and buildings are spread around the centre. At night its pubs and venues have the best live music in Scotland, and the murals in the centre form a street-art trail.
