Day 1 - Discover Vibrant Glasgow

As the sun begins to peak, let's kickstart our adventure at the iconic Glasgow Cathedral, a medieval wonder that will leave you slack-jawed with its intricate stained-glass windows and awe-inspiring atmosphere. From there, wander to the nearby Necropolis, often christened 'a city among the dead.' This grand Victorian cemetery affords stellar views over Glasgow; don't forget your camera! Post-lunch, it's time for a spot of culture at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. With wide-reaching exhibits spanning art, history, and natural history, it has something for everyone. Want to end the day on a high (literally and metaphorically)? Head to The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Design and Architecture, and climb up to the viewing platform for sweeping city vistas – a perfect sunset spot!

Day 2 – Unraveling Historic Gems

Begin your day in the bustling heart of the city, George Square. Admire the grand municipal buildings and historical statues before heading to the nearby Gallery of Modern Art where contemporary artworks from around the globe come to life. Famished yet? Glasgow is teeming with foodie hot-spots; enjoy a midday feast at one of the local eateries before heading to the University of Glasgow – an architectural beauty reminiscent of Hogwarts. To end the day, experience a slice of Scottish nightlife in one of Glasgow's traditional pubs– how about a wee dram of whisky at The Pot Still?

Day 3 – A Cultural Smorgasbord

Start your day with a sunny stroll at the Botanic Gardens, home to lush greenhouses and a gallery showcasing local artists. And speaking of artists, no Glasgow trip is complete without visiting House for an Art Lover, a masterpiece by the renowned Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Then, head over to Glasgow's West End and discover its bohemian vibe with quirky boutiques, vintage stores and indie cafes. Wind up your afternoon by sightseeing along the River Clyde, spanning several attractions including the Science Centre, BBC Scotland, and the Clyde Auditorium. End your Scottish journey with a relaxing dinner cruise, floating under a sky painted with hues of pink, orange and gold.
