Glasgow City Centre: Private Half-Day Walking Tour
Discover an abundance of cultural treasures and stunning landmarks that reflect Glasgow City Centre's rich history and vibrant architectural heritage; in a city ranked top by the EU for its culture and creativity, openness, tolerance, and museums that attract more visitors than any UK city outside of London.
Central Glasgow is an architectural mix of grand Victorian buildings and modern towers; both quaintly historic and very contemporary. The first stop on your private walking tour is Glasgow Cathedral. It is the city’s oldest building and was founded by Glasgow’s patron saint, St Mungo. George Square, another much-loved and iconic landmark, is at the very heart of the city and draws picnicking families in summer and festive celebrations over winter.
Your final stop is Merchant City, once 18th-century cotton, tobacco and sugar trading hub, and now a swish shopping area with bijou cafes and sophisticated eateries.
