Where is Glasgow?
Glasgow is located in the west of Scotland, UK. For many years it was known as the industrial capital of Scotland, but after being European Capital of Culture in 1990 and City of Architecture in 1999 it is now considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. There is a wealth of attractions to discover, the UK’s finest Victorian architecture to astound, internationally acclaimed museums and galleries to inspire as well as Glasgow’s own unique atmosphere to soak up. Be entertained in one of Europe’s cultural capitals by its year-long calendar of festivals and special events and enjoy outstanding shopping, superb bars and restaurants—all located within a stone’s throw of some of the country’s finest parks & gardens. The area also stands at the gateway to some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.
