Tour description
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and its beating cultural heart: a place of magnificent Victorian architecture, world-class art, edgy murals and some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Once the 'Second City of the Empire', it has reinvented itself as a capital of music, design and style. On this walking tour a local guide shows you both its grand past and its creative present.
You will admire the opulent City Chambers, trace the story of tobacco lords and shipbuilders, and discover the striking street-art trail that decorates the city centre. Bold, characterful and endlessly welcoming, Glasgow is a joy to explore on foot.
