Now that travel restrictions have been lifted, people from outwith the city are able to visit for the first time since Christmas and enjoy many of the city’s attractions.
Here are 13 ideas guaranteed to result in a memorable day trip to the Second City of the Empire.
5. Take a trip on the Renfrew Ferry
One of the last remaining regular boat services on the Clyde, the tiny Renfrew Ferry takes passengers from Yoker to Renfrew every 15 minutes for a £2 fare. Combine the minutes-long trip with a visit to the strange Spiral Hill on the Yoker side, and charming Renfrew town centre on the other. Photo: JPI Media
6. Wander around a Victorian palace of glass
No trip to the West End of Glasgow is complete without a visit to Glasgow's Botanic Gardens to wander around the Kibble Palace. This enormous glass house was originally built for wealthy engineer John Kibble at his home on Loch Long in the 1860s, before being transported to the Botanics in 1873 and fully restored in 2004. It contains tropical plants, statues and a fish pond, and is much-loved by Glaswegians. Photo: Canva
7. Visit Glasgow's City of the Dead
It may sound somewhat ghoulish, but a trip to the Glasgow Necropolis makes for an interesting and unique couple of hours. Offering amazing views over the city and Glasgow Cathedral, look out for monuments designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson. It's arguably the most picturesque graveyard in Scotland. Photo: Canva
8. Enjoy a cup of tea with Charles Rennie Mackintosh
There are several Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow, but the original is on Sauchiehall Street. The Mackintosh at the Willow tea room was opened by Kate Cranston in 1903 and was famously designed by Glasgow design pioneer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It reopened in 2018 after a full renovation and also offers a shop and visitors centre. Photo: Google Maps
