Don’t be put off by the drizzly rain, as Glasgow’s transformation over the last 30 years makes it one of the most modern and vibrant cities in the UK. Unlike Edinburgh’s medieval feel, buildings in Glasgow’s city centre such as the Riverside Museum, Science Centre and Hydro Arena give it a futuristic look.Glasgow is also a must-visit for lovers of the arts, as the city is home to the Scottish pera and ballet and the National Theatre as well as the huge Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum which iincludes works from Van Gough to mummies from Ancient Egypt. These days Glasgow is also a magnet for young people, so if you’re looking for a good night out then make sure to explore some of the city’s lively bars and pubs.
