Best Glasgow Day Trips & Things to Do

This working-class, fanatical football (aka soccer) city also has a thriving arts scene, which is reflected in its free museums and numerous galleries. Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, is also teeming with pubs and clubs and has one of Britain’s best live-music scenes. Not to be missed is the Gothic Glasgow Cathedral, which, unlike most of Scotland’s cathedrals, survived the destruction of the Reformation; and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, a free, eclectic museum housed in a Victorian stone building featuring not only fine art but European armor, a Spitfire airplane and Salvador Dali’s Christ of St. John of the Cross.
