What travellers are saying
- Wayne MSydney, Australia785 contributionsKelvingrove is very popular and for good reason. It's a beautiful space with a well laid out plan. It truly has something for everyone, with history and science and art. In the art section there are great rooms dedicated to the Glasgow Boys and also the Scottish Colourists. A must see in Glasgow.Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- S G1 contributionWe did the hop on / hop off bus tour which was really good and informative. I did not have as long as I would have liked at the Riverside Museum, because we did not realize how long the tour takes, and did not leave enough time in our schedule to spend more than 30 minutes at the museum. Will just have to go back!Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jordanellie41Longridge, UK1,216 contributionsThis is the best looking stadium on the eye in Glasgow even though Ibrox and Hampden Park are both very good too. It has a more modern look than the other two with it's massive high stands in the names of Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions, it can be seen from miles away. At each end you'll find it's whole exterior in club green with large 'Celtic Park' wording. To it's front you can also see sculptures of Celtic greats such as Billy McNeill, Jock Stein and Jimmy Johnstone. As with the other two stadia, you can get a good look at it from many different angles as you can walk all the way around it's concourse.Written 1 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shannon A5 contributionsVisited on a foggy day the fog added a extra element of mystery to the necropolis, the general layout and the bridge go into the necropolis is well accessible.Written 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BraindamagedbaronNewark-on-Trent, UK1,774 contributionsSpent the weekend in Glasgow and a lot of time on Buchanan Street. It's a vibrant area of the city with all the usual shops and fast food outlets found in any other city. But... look for the gems and there are plenty, on a number of different levels. Prince's Square is the jewel in Buchanan's crown, a sumptuous precinct that's a pleasure to enter. Argyle Arcade is the actual crown, containing more jewels than a Sultan's blingy thing. Get past thr guards at the e trance and pretend you can afford the goods on show.
Have a slow wander up to Sauchiehall Street just because you can and simply enjoy the city.Written 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Turning right I walked up the hill alongside the main building which is full of beautiful architecture and numerous stylish windows. To it's front the grand design continues with lots of arches, steeples and glorious stairways. As you keep walking round, the architecture gets better and better and culminates in a large single steeple complete with turrets, balconies and amazing multi coloured brick work. The only downside to this magnificent building is it's condition. The harsh Glasgow weather has not been king to it and it needs a good clean. However, this is probably not practical given how long it would take to do and how costly too!Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trail6040181 contributionAs a birthday treat my wife booked the Tennents Tour. As a lifelong Glaswegian the Tennents Brewery was there and always had been but I had never known much about it though knew much about its products. What an amazing walking tour led by Calum who was able in an informative, descriptive and humorous manner give a history of the Wellpark site from 1740 its products past and present and its place in history. The pint of Tennents tank lager at the end was a welcome and fitting end to the tour. I will never sink a pint of Tennents again without thinking of the tour and Hugh TennentWritten 19 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EmilyLondon, UK508 contributionsAmazing Cathedral, well maintained.
Stunning structure & glass.
Quiet, not too busy.
Good information panels also.
Note there are lots of steps.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The check in was smooth and I pre-paid for the parking at the time I booked the tickets and parking gets validated on entry (inside by a staff member) so no need to do anything on you way out.
There is cafee on the ground floor but we didn't get anything at the time.
You can also bring your own lunch as there is specially dedicated room with tables and sits - no booking required.
There are also lockers available.
We enjoyed the experience on the top floor the most - science about human body etc.
There is dedicated section for under 7's.
We also managed to see the show but it wasn't as enjoyable experience as such.
It is a shame the weather was rather uninviting as the surrounding area seems nice just for a walk - maybe next time.Written 1 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went as a group some fans of the dram others not so but we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip.Written 18 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SwedishtomcatDiss, UK4,621 contributionsThis magnificent collection of 8000 pieces of artwork from all around the world had been accumulated by Sir William & Lady Burrell during the early part of the C20th and then gifted to the city of Glasgow in 1944. It’s free entry but parking is a fiver. The food in the café was top notch.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
