Glasgow

One of the city's symbols, the Gothic St. Mungo's Cathedral from the 12th century, is worth visiting both outside and inside. Be sure to admire the unique stained glass collection, then take a walk across the old bridge to the Necropolis. In the city center, the GoMA (Gallery of Modern Art) is worth your attention with its exhibitions of famous artists. In front of the gallery, you'll find one of the world's ten "most peculiar monuments": an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington with a plastic cone on his head.

You can discover what cities might look like in the future along the Clyde River waterfront. Futuristic buildings fill the area from Finnieston Crane to the pedestrian Millennium Bridge, the most famous being the SEC Center, Armadillo, and The Hydro. On the opposite bank, tourists visit the Glasgow Science Centre and enjoy panoramic views of the city from the Glasgow Tower's observation deck. Nearby are the BBC film studio and the STV television studio. A short stretch between the Govan Graving Docks and the entertainment complex at Springfield Quay offers a riverside walk, crossing the river via one of three bridges.

A popular place for a stroll is Ashton Lane, a street lined with restaurants and bars. The Botanic Gardens are interesting at any time of the year: exotic plants are housed in the Kibble Palace and Main Range greenhouses. Among the most interesting museums in Glasgow are Pollok House, Riverside Museum, Burrell Collection, and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
