Glasgow
Glasgow combines the energy and sophistication of a great international city with some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery. The City is an architectural dream: Victorian red and honey sandstone buildings sit alongside Italianate steeples and medieval spires, while the famous Art Nouveau buildings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh contrast with the titanium, glass and steel of the contemporary city. There is a wealth of attractions to discover in Glasgow plus a year-round calendar of festivals and special events, as well as over seventy parks and gardens and outstanding shopping and restaurants. Glasgow has more than twenty museums and galleries – many of them free – including the unique Burrell Collection, the stunning Charles Rennie Mackintosh House and the cool, contemporary Gallery of Modern Art.
