Guide to Glasgow

Glasgow is a vivid example of a city where modern-style buildings stand side by side with architectural heritage from past centuries. While walking through the city, tourists can admire green parks, massive laboratories, and buildings in Gothic and medieval styles.

The city is divided into several districts, each with its own unique characteristics. The city center is mainly represented by George Square, a place filled with theaters, boutiques, and shopping malls, making it the best area for shopping.

Merchant City was historically home to wealthy merchants who traded sugar and tobacco. Today, aristocratic mansions in this district house expensive restaurants and boutiques.

West End is probably the liveliest part of Glasgow. Something is always happening here, including the city's largest festival event, the West End Festival. The district's main attractions are Glasgow University and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery.

East End is the oldest part of Glasgow. Its landmarks include the Tron Steeple Clock Tower and St. Mungo's Cathedral. The area is also home to a cemetery where notable residents have been buried since the 21st century.

North Glasgow is home to some of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities, which presents significant challenges for the government. However, the only thing tourists need to know is that this area is best avoided.
