A first-time visitor's guide to Glasgow

The city's predominantly Victorian city centre is reminiscent of 19th-century New York. Filmmakers love St Vincent Street and Hope Street, and the City Chambers still retain their opulent beauty off George Square. Inside, you can gaze at marble, alabaster, gold leaf, and mahogany carved into the walls.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery

One of the top things to do in Glasgow, Scotland is to visit the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. It is a popular attraction in the city and was recently refurbished following a three-year period of closure. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery was reopened in 2006 and has since become one of the most popular attractions in Scotland.
