Once Scotland’s industrial hub, Glasgow underwent a long period of decline in the twentieth century. The city has recently reinvented itself as a modern metropolis of cutting-edge architecture, inventive gastronomy and great music.
Glasgow is home to many historic monuments, including the Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow University and the Glasgow School of Art. More recent additions to the city skyline include the uber-contemporary Glasgow Science Center and the Glasgow Exhibition and Conference Center. The Glasgow subway is a great way to get around to many of them.
Glasgow is also home to some of the best restaurants in Scotland. The Gandolfi restaurants, including Cafe Gandolfi, Bar Gandolfi and Gandolfi Fish, all prove that the city has made an impressive foray into the culinary scene.
Glasgow has many top hotels, including the Crowne Plaza and many other international hotels and its own boutique hotels, hostels and B&Bs.
Getting to and from Glasgow by plane and train is easy. Many low-cost airlines like Ryanair serve the city’s airports. To get from Prestwick Airport to Glasgow, you can take a bus or train. Alternately, trains from cities like Edinburgh and London run regularly to Glasgow’s train stations.
